  “She’s a politician, Lyle. She’s a radical member of the Spanish Parliament. Can you believe that? I’m sleeping with an elected official of a European local government.” He laughed. “Politicians are sexy, Lyle. Politicians are hot! They have charisma. They’re glamorous. They’re powerful. They can really make things happen! Politicians get around. They know things on the inside track. I’m having more fun with Violeta than I knew there was in the world.”

  “That’s pleasant to hear, zude.”

  “More pleasant than you know, my man.”

  “Not a problem,” Lyle said indulgently. “We all gotta make our own lives, Eddy.”

  “Ain’t it the truth.”

  Lyle nodded. “I’m in business, zude!”

  “You gonna perfect that inertial whatsit?” Eddy said.

  “Maybe. It could happen. I get to work on it a lot now. I’m getting closer, really getting a grip on the concept. It feels really good. It’s a good hack, man. It makes up for all the rest of it. It really does.”

  Eddy sipped his mimosa. “Lyle.”

  “What?”

  “You didn’t hook up that settop box and look at it, did you?”

  “You know me, Eddy,” Lyle said. “Just another kid with a wrench.”
