[story] With this station-ring...
 
#61
The Roadhouse:

I was working on the second set list for Noah and Leda's reception, trying to decide whether or not we would have room to fit in the Absolute Edition of
"Land of 1000 Dances,"* when the go-phone chirped. I clipped on my earpiece and tripped the receiver. "Blackstone."

"It's Buckaroo. You've got your computer off."

"It was distracting me. I needed to get this on paper."

"Turn it on." Buckaroo doesn't give orders, but sometimes he says things in a way that makes you understand that something is of extreme
importance. I reach over and flip on the flatscreen. Two reports from Blazers in D.C. are up, along with a webpage showing a Congressional press release on the
subpoena. "Crappity crap on crapcracker."

"Language, Blackstone."

"Sorry, Boss. But this isn't good. If they're going after Mal...."

"They'll be going after us soon," he finishes. "I've got a message over to Bob; he's going to offer Mal some assistance. We need to
get briefed on this, and be prepared for Kellerman's turn at us. Get the guys; I'm getting Sensei and Mrs. Johnson on the link."

"Best get Tallyho and John as well. Parliament might be considering this as well."

"Good idea."

I shuffle my set list notes together and drop them onto my bed, where I can find them later. I'm on my way out to the main Conference Room when I stop.
"Buckaroo?"

"Yeah?"

"I just had an ugly thought. What if Kellerman's being used?"

"Worth looking into. I'll have Bob get the Hounds** on it. You get the others."

"Right." And I'm out the door. The funny thing is, we just finished a fight. Now we get another one.

* - The Cavaliers' cover of which is approximately six minutes long and combines elements of the Rockapella cover and "Shake Your Tailfeathers"
by Ray Charles and the Blues Brothers Band.

** - The Banzi Institute's Internet Security specialists. Heaven help you if you choose to visit a DDOS attack on banzai-institute.org.
