and vomited.
"Please!" Moscarón said. "Not on the carpet!"
Siegel stayed doubled-over, catching his breath.
"You understand," Moscarón said, "that there are others. You'll be fine for a while, but if you don't
come to me as they mature, they'll fill your body. To the uninitiated, it will look like cancer."
"I understand," Siegel said, wiping his brow. Already he looked better. "You have my unquestioned
loyalty, Mr. Moscarón."
Moscarón turned toward Vriner. "Ah, Mr. Vriner," he said. "How very helpful you have been to
World-Wide Witchcraft Service and Supply."
He sat down again, as if the business meeting were to continue.
"You've taught us a lot, sir. You've done a great deal to show us the way. Between a good investment
banker and a few hundred coordinated witches, I don't think there's a company in the world that can
resist us."
He stood again and leaned toward Vriner with the mouse. Something wriggled through Vriner's lips,
and then Vriner felt Moscarón's fingers push the mouse past his tongue. It squirmed down. Moscarón
took off his glasses. Black and yellow eyes no bigger than large marbles rolled in his eye sockets.
"Unfortunately, your little visit while I was out conducting some night business deprived me of an
important asset."
He picked up the spoon.
"We have a lot of advantages in a corporate environment," Moscarón said. "Who, in the boardroom,
believes in witches? Who knows how to mount a defense against us?"
He leaned forward, and one of the owl eyes almost rolled out of his head.
"But I can't very well do business looking like this, can I? I think suspicions might arise. Agreed?"
Deep in his stomach, Vriner felt tiny teeth beginning to gnaw. He'd scarcely have believed that
something so small could cause so much pain.
"You say you have an eye for acquisitions."
Moscarón slid the edge of the spoon beneath Vriner's eyelid. If Leonard Vriner hadn't been frozen into
silence, he would have screamed.
"I wonder," Moscarón said, "which one it is?"
