Skater shifted Emma, pulling her down into his arms. Her weight against him reminded him of everything he had to lose; whether he pursued the run or whether he gave it up. Provided he chose to run with Emma, as far and as fast as he could from whatever heat Deja could and would pull down on him, he needed the flexibility a lot of nuyen gave a chummer to vanish from the playing field. Nothing else he had a lead on could turn the kind of nuyen he’d need for that, and nothing else appeared as dangerous. By rights, Deja was the least of his present worries, but she held the most direct threat toward his daughter. If he chose to bow out of the run, he’d still be short of the necessary money to make Emma and himself disappear.
