★★★☆☆
(Super Hero; Wild Cards) In 1986, James “Demise” Spector gets a request for a job from someone who still hasn’t paid for the last people he killed. (11,726 words; Time: 39m)
Note: This story is very dependent on the reader already having good familiarity with the Wild Cards universe, particularly the first few books.
