Part 106 (1/2)

So you killed him?

ONE OF MY PEOPLE GOT A LITTLE OVER ZEALOUS IT IS REGRETTABLE, BUT NECESSARY

It is not necessary to kill anyone Nowhere in the plan does it call for murder! That was part of our deal

THE WINDS BLOW CONDITIONS CHANGE

The wind blows up your ass!

THAT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT HE WAS GOING TO TELL WHAT HE KNEW

What the hell does he know?

DGRAPH THAT'S THE PROGRAM WE INFECTED

DGraph? That's iram in the world How did you infect it?

I BOUGHT IT

You own dGraph? I thought that Data Tech owned them

OSO OWNS DATA TECH YOU DID NOT LISTEN TO YOUR OWN ADVICE I BOUGHT IT AFTER YOU VISITED ME FOR THE SECOND TIME IT SEEMED PRUDENT WE ALSO BOUGHT A HALF DOZEN OTHER SMALL, PROMISING SOFTWARE COMPANIES, JUST AS YOU SUGGESTED VERY GOOD PLAN

And Troubleaux knows?

OF COURSE HE HAD INCENTIVE

So you try to kill him?

HE LOST HIS INCENTIVE IT WAS NECESSARY HE WAS GOING TO TELL AND, AS YOU SAID, SECRECY IS PARAMOUNT YOUR WORDS

Yes, secrecy, but not murder I can't be part of that

BUT YOU ARE MR FOSTER I HOPE THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT THAT WILL NOT BE REPEATED

It had damn well better be

DO NOT FORGET MR FOSTER THAT YOU HAVE A SIZABLE PAYMENT COMING

I WOULD HATE TO SEE YOU LOSE THAT WHEN THINGS ARE SO CLOSE
