Mister Jones turned towards Katya and had a big smile on his face. "Excellent. See, it pays to play nice. Currently I have little information on Mister Erickson at the moment, though a bit more than you apparently. However, come back in a week and I will havee more for you. As to your friend Hank Miller, that is another matter entirely."

He went to his desk and got out a pen and paper and started to write. "This is the price for the info you want on both Erickson and Miller. This price is non negotiable, and should you try to betray me or find someone else who is cheaper, I shall do everything in my power to ensure your missions failure."

He handed Katya the slip of paper and held out his hand to her, "Do we have a deal agent?"

The paper read one word, and one word only.
