I keep writing the chapter numbers wrong. Like I just did "153" and before that I did "143". What???
Hugo goes down and finds Hogwild. There's some kind of weird but attractive woman in a cubicle near his. It turns out she's a robot for spying on the employees. Hugo tells Hogwild that he wants his help in getting the document back.

Chapter 134
So Hugo is in Glendenning's office now. This chapter is mostly conversation. As you know that is the main good stuff in this book, but unfortunately I can't quote it so it'll just have to a quick summary.
Hugo says he knows where the document is, he just needs a few supplies and then he can go get it. He's not going to just TELL Glendenning where it is, because that would probably be a dumb thing to do and he might end up dead. He needs leverage, you know? So Glendenning eventually agrees after much back and forth, and Hugo says maybe I can get a job here full-time if I do this job right.
(Also Hugo knows where Allison is b/c she used his equipment from the trunk to record the message, and in that way she was able to give him a secret hidden message with her address. Pretty neat.)
I thought it would be funny if at the end instead of saying "Serious benefits" Glendenning said "401k with company matching." Like actually listed the benefits. I don't know, maybe it's just the current political climate making me say that.

Chapter 133
OK so now we go waaay back to where we left off at the end of Part 1 of the story. Hugo is chained up in a hotel room by China Sweet and the Valkyrie. The last thing that happened in that chapter was that they played a tape recording of a voice and Hugo recognized the voice as Allison! We continue on now.
There's some general talking and threats, then they listen tot he tape again. Allison represents Margaret Ball, they want Glendennig to release her sisters (the hidden secretary girls) with no funny business, or she'll release copies of the paper (the one Hugo is supposed to looking for!). She also uses the word "chokeville" which is the first time it's appeared in the story I believe. Although we're not quite sure what she means.
Then they listen to it again, Hugo says he can tell from the tape where Allison/Margaret are located, and they head out to Glendenig's.
