M.Y.T.H. INC. LINK

"Not interested, Mr. Bane. Labor disputes are not our
forte. If you'd like a little free advice, though, I'd advise
you to settle. Prolonged strikes can be very costly."

The Deveel started to bare his teeth, then glanced at
Chumley again and twisted it into a smile. In fact, he
didn't say another word until he reached the door, and
even then he spoke with careful respect.

"Um ... if it ain't asking too much, could you send
this Guido around, just to say hi to the workers? What
with him disappearing the way he did, there are some
who are saying that I had him terminated. It might make
things a little easier for me in the negotiations."

"I'll ask him . . . next time I see him."

The Deveel nodded his thanks and left.

"Bit of a sticky wicket, eh, Skeeve?" Chumley said,
relaxing back into his normal self.

"Just another satisfied customer of M.Y.T.H. Inc.
stopping by to express his gratitude," I sighed. "Remind
me not to send Guido out on assignment again without
very explicit instructions. Hmmmm?"

"How about a muzzle and leash?"

I shook my head and sat forward in my chair again,
glancing over the paperwork that seemed to breed on my
desk whenever Bunny was away.

"Enough of that. What can I do for you, Chumley?"

"Hnun? Oh, nothing, really. I was just looking for
little sister to see if she wanted to join me for lunch. Has
she been about?"

"Tananda? As a matter of fact, I just sent her out on
an assignment. Sorry."

"No matter. What kind of work are you giving the
old girl, anyway?"
