Those places were neither here nor there, and no one looked twice at anything. He spent the week gambling away exactly thirty percent of his monthly credits; he kept the rest locked to send directly to savings. He wasn't going to end up washed up like old Tomo, who spent the time shuttling between his job sorting the recyclables and the casinos where he spent all his money before he could use any of it. But even old Tomo was good enough to hang out with; if you could get him to leave the hooks for two seconds. Jason had his ways; yanking them off worked. The disorientation of leaving the VR made Tomo mad enough and dizzy enough to be dragged off without a fuss to go eat and take care of himself and perhaps be bribed into a story before he drifted back into the dripmachines. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Why d'you wanna hear about it?\" Tomo said, with a singular frown. His icy blue eyes were still intimidating, his big, calloused hands threaded through with stick-tags and rings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"I told you,\" Jason said, like always. \"You're the only one who ever escaped.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sara Barkat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943120803\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943120802\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
