Andy had to crawl out of the passenger door, then crawled back again to snag his deck. He’d backed up the info files to his headware, but he’d need the hardware if he was going to do anything about decrypting the stuff, and the deck was all he had to do that. He’d almost lost the Sony to the ork gang when they took it from him, but he’d been lucky. After Kit had healed him and he had enough functioning brain cells to remember that Pucker Up had dropped the deck, he’d gone back to look for it and—to his amazement—had found it still lying in the alley. Too weak to carry it, he too had been forced to leave it behind. But when he went back for it, somehow it was still there. He couldn’t count on the same luck if he left it here in the car.
