Do you have any papers for Will Barrent?
None, the lawyer said. His case is in different hands. I'm afraid it might not be completely processed until after the Games are over.
But I'll probably be dead then, Barrent said.
That, I can assure you, won't stop the papers from being properly served, the fat lawyer said proudly. Dead or alive, you will retain all your rights.
