Jav groaned and slouched further back into the cosy embrace of his favourite armchair. He put the glass of whisky down guiltily, but there was no hiding it from the black-clad rider who reigned in his horse and dismounted with the ease of someone who has ridden all his young life. Jav closed his eyes wishfully, but horse and rider were still there, superimposed in his middle vision by the nanites linked to his optical nerve.  \n“What ya’drinkin’?”The cowboy asked, knowingly.  \n“Just water.” Jav lied, then wondered why he felt obliged to answer at all.  \n“’T’aint no good for ya’.”He spat on the floor. “Your kidney’s are gonna get all shot up again.”  \nJav shrugged. “So what’s it to you?”  \n“I gotta protect my interests.” Said Billy the Kidney. “Now just pour it away.”  \nJav stood as slowly as he could and ambled into the kitchen, hoping that Billy would just ride off. Of course he didn’t and Jav reluctantly poured the whisky down the sink, savouring the taste of the one sip he’d managed to swallow before being interrupted. Billy stood and watched until it was all gone.  \n“Now that’s your last warnin’. Next time…”He patted his gun holster menacingly.  \n“Next time what?” Jav asked defiantly.  \n“You’ll see. Now I gotta go report to the Queen.”He leaped back on to his horse and rode off into the distance. Jav sank back down into his seat. Then Billy’s last words struck him. Report to the Queen? Why would Billy report to the Queen? He was only supposed to report to the Doctor. Jav groaned again. He was going to have to call the software people in again. In fact, getting the whole system removed was seeming more and more like a good idea.  \nGoing into detox in the first place had seemed like a good idea. He hadn’t really gone for medical reasons, more for publicity. A multi-millionaire rock star-turned-TV presenter could never get enough of the lime light. After a few dodgy headlines involving drunken fights and excessive revelries there was nothing more guaranteed to gain public approval than voluntarily going into a detox clinic. Especially when the whole two week course was filmed for a four-part documentary. The clinic hadn’t been too bad, though he had developed an aversion for hose pipes, but the follow up program had been the real mistake. OK, the first mistake.  \nJav glared around his lounge sullenly, eyeing the bottles of spirit lined up on the minibar. He could almost hear hoof beats in the background again, so decided instead to drag himself back into the kitchen and down a glass of cold water. That should do his kidneys some good and hopefully keep Billy away for awhile. He opened the window above the sink to let in some cool fresh air. He felt like he was being paranoid, but anything healthy seemed like a good idea at the moment. Anything to keep the nanites off his case.  \nThe medical profession had never been at the top ofJav’s favourites list. He had lost count of the number of medicals he’d had to attend for insurance purposes and was fed up with constantly being na","cbCairEYDyFlQxH2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairEYDyFlQxH2","pdf",395226,"English","# Issue 28 Contents\n## Fiction\n## Reviews\n## About Hub\n## “Inside Every Successful Man”","[{\"question\":\"What is included in Hub Issue 28?\",\"answer\":\"Hub Issue 28 includes short fiction and at least one review, plus occasional features.
