"'Briefly,' Zoyd addressed the high-rise drummer, 'Van
Meter has some folks lined up, now what we need is
something they can express themselves with, preferably
with a full-automatic option.'
"'There's this little bunch of Finnish knockoffs of
a AK that shoot .22's I know I can get a price on, but
somebody'll have to do the kit conversions besides
going down to Contra Costa and pickin' 'm up....'
"'The Sisters have their headquarters in Walnut
Creek,' Van Meter twinkled, 'so no prob.' He referred
to the Harleyite Order, a male motorcycle club who for
tax purposes had been reconstituted as a group of
nuns...." (VL, Ch. 15, p. 358)
