Background/History: Harry is a taxi cab driver who stumbles into an incident where a fat gangster and his cyborg henchmen murder an archaeologist on the front steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Harry grudgingly allows the murdered man's daughter into his cab, and she tells him about her father's discovery: the Loc-Nar, an artifact over which people are killing each other. Harry cannot afford to pay for a police investigation, so he takes the girl back to his apartment. That night, the girl strips, climbs into his bed and they have sex. Harry awakens alone the next morning when the cops bust into the apartment looking for the girl, whose existence he denies.
Later, the girl contacts Harry and offers to sell the Loc-Nar and split the proceeds with him. He agrees to take her to the exchange. When the gangster gets the Loc-Nar, he takes it out of its isolation case, and he disintegrates. Meanwhile, the girl pulls a gun on Harry, who is forced to use the self-defense ray mounted in his cab to evaporate her. He keeps the money and writes it up as a "two day ride with one hell of a tip".
Quote: "Sucker play or not, I must have turned her on somethin' fierce. I mean, this dame was goin' for broke. Maybe it was her first time with a New Yorker, I dunno. Anyway, nothing beats good old American know-how. And I was givin' this broad the Stars And Stripes For Ever."
Powers/Tactics: Cynical taxicab driver.
