A
muscle
jumped
under
one
eye
and
her
cheeks
pulled
in
as
if
she
was
sucking
on
something
bitter
.
She
stared
at
me
,
and
for
that
moment
I
thought
I
might
have
pushed
too
far
.
Then
her
shoulders
slumped
and
she
sighed
.
792
"
Ah
,
go
ahead
.
What
the
fuck
do
you
know
about
it
anyway
?
Bancroft
s
not
people
like
you
and
me
.
He
s
a
fucking
Meth
.
"
793
"
A
Meth
?

"
Yeah
.
A
Meth
.
You
know
,
and
all
the
days
of
Methuselah
were
nine
hundred
sixty
and
nine
years
.
He
s
old
.
I
mean
,
really
old
.
"
795
"
Is
that
a
crime
,
lieutenant
?
"
796
"
It
should
be
,
"
said
Ortega
grimly
.
"
You
live
that
long
,
things
start
happening
to
you
.
You
get
too
impressed
with
yourself
.
Ends
up
,
you
think
you
re
God
.
Suddenly
the
little
people
,
thirty
,
maybe
forty
years
old
,
well
they
don
t
really
matter
any
more
.
You
ve
seen
whole
societies
rise
and
fall
,
and
you
start
to
feel
you
re
standing
outside
it
all
,
and
none
of
it
really
matters
to
you
.
And
maybe
you
ll
start
snuffing
those
little
people
,
just
like
picking
daisies
,
if
they
get
under
your
feet
.
"

I
looked
seriously
at
her

You
pin
anything
like
that
on
Bancroft
?
Ever
?
"
799
"
I
m
not
talking
about
Bancroft
,
"
she
waved
the
objection
aside
impatiently
,
"
I
m
talking
about
his
kind
.
They
re
like
the
AIs
.
They
re
a
breed
apart
.
They
re
not
human
,
they
deal
with
humanity
the
way
you
and
I
deal
with
insect
life
.
Well
,
when
you
re
dealing
with
the
Bay
City
police
department
,
having
that
kind
of
attitude
can
sometimes
backup
on
you
.

I
thought
briefly
of
Reileen
Kawahara
s
excesses
,
and
wondered
how
far
off
the
mark
Ortega
really
was
.
On
Harlan
s
World
,
most
people
could
afford
to
be
re
-
sleeved
at
least
once
,
but
the
point
was
that
unless
you
were
very
rich
you
had
to
live
out
your
full
span
each
time
and
old
age
,
even
with
antisen
treatment
,
was
a
wearying
business
.
Second
time
around
was
worse
because
you
knew
what
to
expect
.
Not
many
had
the
stamina
to
do
it
more
than
twice
.
Most
people
went
into
voluntary
storage
after
that
,
with
occasional
temporary
re
-
sleevings
for
family
matters
,
and
of
course
even
those
re
-
sleevings
thinned
out
as
time
passed
and
new
generations
bustled
in
without
the
old
ties
.
