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

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

‘Can’t you speed up the process?!’

We could. But the quality would be sub-par. Would you accept a product of inferior quality?’

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

‘No. But supply is running low.’
