"Money," Jezabel spoke up. "Yes," the Colonel affirmed. "We let a movie star play through the time trials and other 'less' dangerous events. The movie star gets his publicity, studios in Port Oasis get their racing footage for their trideo shows, and the team gets regular deposits of Southern currency." "I don't like," Silas piped up as he finished his Nothern scotch. "I for one don't want to be babysitting some Southern trideo pansy. Even the time trials can be dangerous, what if this 'star' gets injured? What happens to the team then?" "Well," the Colonel replied with a nervous look. "We'll just have to make sure that the contract protects us from such unfortunate incidents." "You mean 'you will have to make sure'," Silas corrected. The Colonel frowned. ********************* Dennis D.
