‘In a week or so.’ A woman’s voice linked in response.

‘And if I need it earlier? What’s the price?’

Jake groaned. ‘Fine. And the other one? The shell?

The ingredients for that are harder to collect. It will take more time. We need a month, at least. You’ve run out of that already?’

‘No. But supply is running low.’
