“She’s not my problem.”
“She is if I say she is.” Otis smiled slyly. “That bother you for some reason? Been a while since you’ve gotten off the mountain to see a woman.”

Jed ignored the dig. “You’re not going to make a deal with anyone and we both know it. I run the Rad for you, Otis. But that doesn’t make me your lackey.” He headed out of the room.
“Where you going?” Otis’s querulous voice followed him.
“To take care of the stuff you do pay me for.”
