Now a color photograph of a woman appeared, Chinese, thirtyish, her hair center-parted, expressionless, in the style of a biometric passport photograph. Garreth leaned forward slightly, as if for a better look, and wrote something in his notebook. "That wouldn’t actually be of much help," he said. "I have better numbers than that myself." He fell silent again, listening, opening screens on his desktop, making notes. "No. I have that. I don’t think you can really do much for me. Which is a pity, considering your willingness. What I could really use would be something heavier. Massive, really. And the goods will be there. Worth massive’s time, amply. Massive’ll come along, I imagine. But massive immediately would be the business." He listened again. "Yes. Certainly. Do. Good night." He touched the keyboard, the photograph vanishing. He looked at Hollis. "That was well queer."
