wonder about his disregard for speed restrictions.
His car-phone system goes off, somebody’s calling. "It's Olina."

Her feminine voice fills up the car; Tom’s lowering the speakers as she’s talking.

"Okay, hardworker, what did you find out?"
Olina is already sitting in his office waiting for him. She looks tired, though it
