Chapter 84. THE MAN WHO SHOT WALT DISNEY

Bobby, now also free of his anxiety [and] in the presence of Inchmale, explores a potential location for a music video of the Bollards “I’m The Man Who Shot Walk Disney” that will “introduce locative art to a wider audience while helmets like Hollis’s were still in the beta stage” if Bobby agrees to “get everybody else’s work back up on new servers, which he’d already done.”

Earlier, Hollis had glimpsed Tito with his brother Alejandro in a mall beneath the Four Seasons before they disappeared “down the concourse of heavily trademarked commerce.”

Hollis, with unfocused material for her unwritten article for the unlaunched Node, keeps her secret from Bigend and the others, knowing that “the whole business had to play out initially in spook country, and it might well remain there for a very long time.” [807 characters]
