Speak to the Earth (1994)
“The noon-hour shoppers and tourists leaned into the rainy wind, shoulders hunched, scurrying to get out of the downpour. Bryan skidded to a stop outside the cop shop, leaned his bike against a railing and dashed inside.
Elias had rushed off to work as soon as Bryan and he had emerged from the laundry room, blinking and momentarily blinded by the basement lights the two activists had, as usual, left burning. Otto and Kevin — or whatever their names were — had retrieved the cellular phone they ha...d forgotten and had left, arguing about something.
Bryan had sat at his desk with a can of cola, shaking, mulling over the significance of his discoveries and attempting to control his fear and apprehension. So, Kevin and Otto were really Kyle and Oliver. That much was clear. Just as obvious was that, although Kevin/Kyle did most of the talking, Otto/Oliver was the pair’s leader.
It was harder for Bryan to figure why MFI was writing cheques to them. Blackmail? Extortion — “Pay us or we’ll blow up more trucks”?MoreLess
