The I.-Day-Eve Orin-Hal call

quote

‘[…] And what’s up with the lurking figures with wheelchairs?’ […] ‘And you’re being evasive about the dread about the disabled. The like rolling stalkers.’

Context

Mid-call, Hal keeps steering back to the surveillance question while Orin steers toward his real agenda. "The like rolling stalkers" is the book's best name for what the A.F.R. look like from the target's side: not assassins yet, just recurring figures at the edge of the parking lot.
