Cash considered briefly, he wanted the Priomgen seat,
badly, but was it worth being in debt to another
'devil' to get it?  'In for a penny, in for a pound,'
his mama used to say, although she would be aghast at
the situation that her little Josh had gotten himself
into.  Double-crossing Titus Bane would be dangerous -
very dangerous, but he was sure that double crossing
this 'devil' in Versache would be instantly fatal.

He drew in a deep breath, catching the scents of the
night overlaid by her perfume - an expensive French
scent.  "OK," he said, finally making up his mind,
"I'll mind my business and ignore your actions, one
day when you ask."  He worried a little about the
fallout of _this_ deal, more than his deal with Bane,
it has 'disaster' written all over it, 'Oh well,' he
thought, 'I'll burn that bridge when I cross over it.'

With a rueful grin he looked into the enveloping
darkness of the night, "I guess that this is my night
to make 'deals with the devil.'"
