Mr Carousel shouldered Esmerelda out of the way and squatted next to Jim. “Any kind of monkeys you want, monkeys all day long.” He rubbed his chin and narrowed his eyes. “But why am I telling you? It’s your brother I’m trying to negotiate with.”
“Not interested,” I said.
“Well,” Mr Carousel said to Jim, “can you skate?”
As a qualified cybergoth, Jim was prohibited from quite a range of activities, skating included. One summer when he wanted to earn a little extra money, the only job he could find that wouldn’t cost him his qualification was as a pizzeria organist. That pizzeria was a rough joint, and I wondered if Esmerelda knew about her husband’s dangerous career back in high school.
The parrot baker had found someone else to squawk at. It surprised me that any petting zoo still had such an exhibit, after the whole hippo’s foot incident at the lasagna palace.
Jim was trying to wave off the lab-coated maniac and Mr Carousel at the same time. “Not interested!” he yelled. “All this panda wants to do is drive tractors and plant potatoes.”
