The fevered mind of steve presents:

Reaching the LEARNER

Part 5

All roads lead back

to the Agency.

The order to take out

the apartment must’ve

originated here.

Do you think you can get in without your

friends finding out?

Will they be on the look

out for a dead man, you mean?

Have they remembered to delete you from the swipe card

system, I mean.

I’ve never been a great believer in systems. Stick

with me.

But…..

Federal agents.

Where’d you get the badge?

Ebay. It’s real metal, too.

… …..

These guys watch TV. They know the guy

with the badge gets let in.

Tex! Good to see ya!

Far….?

Dead men don’t….What is it dead men don’t

do, Tex?

Rip your throat out.

Rip your throat out.

… …..

… …..

I’ve seen movies. It’s what they say before the dead man rips their throats

out.

Better be nice to me, Tex. Or I’ll

leave it up to her imagination.

Faren, dude, I….

Good news is they ain’t told it you’re dead yet.

Don’t bother with him. Let the system do the talking.

Tsk. Lazy boy, Tex.

I was only doing what I was told. She made me, dude. She made me.

The emails tell me you were buying your way into the in-crowd. I know a grass when I

smell it.

You disappoint me, Tex. Time was when Tech Div were just on the tame side of Hacker. Now you’re

just on the hairy side of Suit.

What you got?

Plenty.

Get it all on here. I’ll be

in 7023.

What about him?

Ummph….

He’s all yours.

Heh, heh!.

What kind of

imagination has she

got?

How many B movies

has she seen?

LEARNER.
