When they reached the telecoms, Cinqueda complained but did produce a credstick when neither Andy nor Kit had any. Once the system was open, Andy used a trick he’d read about on the nets to jigger the box’s calling code so it would misdirect any trace. They contacted Markowitz, who was, fortunately, still at Nell’s. He didn’t like being woken, or so he said. He didn’t sound sleepy when he demanded to speak to Kit, nor was he slow in cutting Andy off when Andy tried to explain the situation.
