She has to find someplace to pull into. If she could find a Nova Sicilia franchulate, that would do it-the Mafia owes her one. Or a New South Africa, which she hates. But the New South Africans hate jeeks even more. Scratch that; Hiro is black, or at least part black. Can't take him into New South Africa. And because Y.T. is a Cauc, they can't go to Metazania. "Mr. Lee's Greater Hong Kong," Hiro says. "Half mile ahead on the right." "Nice thinking-but they won't let you in with your swords, will they?" "Yes," he says, "because I'm a citizen." Then she sees it. The sign stands out because it is a rare one. Don't see many of these. It is a green-and-blue sign, soothing and calm in a glare-torn franchise ghetto. It says: MR. LEE'S GREATER HONG KONG
