Steve was frowning again. "Forget the estimates. You got us."
Already, my face was in flames. Reluctantly, I said, "So doyouwant to give me an estimate?"
He looked at me like I'd just said something incredibly stupid. "You don't need an estimate."
"Why not?"
"Because we were already paid."
I did a double-take. "What? By who?"
Steve grinned. "Jake."
