The
helicopter touched down softly in a storm of dust, debris, and the
smoke that was still rising from the freshly demolished power
chamber.
The
pilot cut the engine, removed his headset, and disembarked the craft.
Captain
Olympia, seated nearby on a chunk of concrete, waited and watched the
tall, dark-haired man approach.
“Captain
Olympia, isn’t it?” the man said once he got close enough.
“Who
wants to know?”
“I’m
Spartucus Finch. Editor of The Supercity Gazette. We’ve
met.”
“You
could have left your copter running … you won’t be staying long.”
Finch
chuckled. “I guess public relations isn’t your strong suit.”
“I
guess not trespassing isn’t your strong suit.”
“You
know, I’m sensing that you don’t really want to talk to me.”
“So
you have some sense.”
“But
you should want to talk to me.”
“Why?”
“And
let me tell you why.”
“Okay
…”
“Because
whatever happened here … the entire world is going to be on top of
you in a matter of minutes.”
“Yeah?”
“And
I have a feeling you don’t want that. Neither of us wants that.”
“You
don’t want that?”
“Of
course not. Neither of us wants the whole world crawling over this
place.”
“We
don’t? I mean, you don’t?”
“No.
You’re much better off … just telling me your story—the
story you want to get out. Whatever I print, everyone else
will go along with. They’d rather not have to do their own work
anyway.”
“That
actually sounds pretty good.”
“And
I … get the exclusive.”
