“Sir, we have a message from the Scion,” Jose whispered, glancing briefly at the nearly naked women. One was wearing only the bottom half of a bikini, while the other was dressed in the matching top. He found the combined effect to be quite stimulating.
“We have no work for them,” the president murmured peacefully. “Tell them to call back in a few months when the big push starts into the mountains.”
“If I may, sir,” Jose said. “This is about some other matter.”
“They’re not looking for work? Then why are they calling?”
“Apparently, sir, Mr. Zalhares has an item to sell.” Jose scowled. “Although I do not understand why we should want to buy some broken arrows. Yet he seemed quite serious in the matter.”
The president jerked his head up at that and the girls retreated quickly to get out of his way. “Repeat that,” he growled, swinging his legs around to sit upright on the table.
“The Scion has some broken arrows for sale.”
That was the code term used by the Americans for a lost or stolen nuclear device. The Scion had a nuke for sale?
“How much did he say?” the president demanded urgently. “What was the price? Do they have more than one? Speak to me, man!”
Trying not to glance at the man’s exposed genitalia, Jose stared him directly in the face. “Sir, Zalhares said he would call again soon with the details about an auction.”
