It took Sigurd Ngozori a couple of minutes to see the point, but then, hanging Steve Ravick wasn't going to cost the Fidelity & Trust Company anything. "Well, this isn't my party," Glenn Murell said, "but I'm too much of a businessman to see how watching somebody kick on the end of a rope is worth four million sols."
The rank-and-file Vigilantes were standing around yacking at one another, and a smaller group Dad and Sigurd Ngozori and the Reverend Sugitsuma and Oscar and Joe and Corkscrew and Nip and the Mahatma were in a huddle around Dad's editorial table, discussing strategy and tactics. "Well, we'd better get back to the docks before it starts," Corkscrew was saying.
We started over to the gate. Hallstock and Ravick were ahead of us. So was Sigurd Ngozori, the president of the Fidelity & Trust, carrying a heavy briefcase and accompanied by a character with a submachine gun, and Adolf Lautier and Professor Hartzenbosch. There were a couple of spaceport cops at the gate, in olive-green uniforms that looked as though they had been sprayed on, and steel helmets.
Julio was wearing two pistols and a knife a foot long. There was a big crowd in the editorial office ships' officers, merchants, professional people. I noticed Sigurd Ngozori, the banker, and Professor Hartzenbosch he was wearing a pistol, too, rather self-consciously and the Zen Buddhist priest, who evidently had something under his kimono.
