Explore "The Cartels Jungle" by Irvin E. Cox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Max Hunter rode the autojet to the casino. As the machine rose past / the city levels, he found himself thinking less about Ann and a good / deal more about Dawn -- a Recreational companion woman who was / simultaneously a psychiatrist. Where did she really fit in the subtle / battle between the titan cartels? Which of them was her ally -- or did / Dawn represent another element as yet unidentified?
Knowing Ann Saymer had taught Hunter a wholesome respect for the / thinking of a First in Psychiatry. They operated with a deviousness / that made cartel treacheries seem like child's play. He knew that Dawn / had manipulated their conversation in the terminal to her own ends. / Behind that deftly-phrased patter of words, what else had she tried to / tell him? And what had she tried to find out? "Top level," she had / said. "That's logical. " Why logical? Logical to whom? Did she know / where he was going and why?
