Monie senses that Hirlem is off in a daze and says again: "what do you think is on this disc?" Hirlem goes from one internal thought to another. It's not like Roudie to buy digital music. Hirlem was close enough to Roudie to know that he had an extensive record collection stashed somewhere in the city that hadn't been found and destroyed yet. It was almost as big as Hirlem's. Ever since the ban on analog, Roudie had made a point of avoiding digital to protest the assault on his freedom. So what was that disc doing there? And what does that disc have to do with what happened to him? And what did happen to him anyways?
Hirlem points the scooter in the direction of someone who might have some answers. Then he changes his mind and the single headlamp makes a left down the next street. There's something he needs to aquire first.
