Judging by the number of perspectives presented on the monitors in the viewing room, there were at least four cameras in Max Pollack’s cell, which appeared to be located in the four ceiling corners. His eyes moving from one screen to another, Peter tried to recall if he’d seen any type of TV display in the mindbender’s cell. He thought it would be nice if Pollack could see the face of his interrogator.

“What happened, Peter? You don’t want to sit face-to-face with me anymore?” Pollack was sitting on the bed, his back leaning against the wall.

“It doesn’t matter. I can see and hear you just fine from here.”

Peter finally decided to simply ask Walsh if Pollack had a monitor in his cell.

“You’re just like Colonel Walsh. Does it mean we’ll never meet again?” Pollack flashed a mocking smile.

“I might drop by someday.”

“I’m getting lonely, Peter. I feel like I’m on the Moon.”

“Are you saying you don’t like staying here, at the base?”

“I don’t dislike it, if that’s what you want to know.”

“Wouldn’t you prefer to be somewhere else? Me, I can’t wait to get out of this place.”

“I think you’re forgetting why I am here.”

“So where would you rather be? I’m just wondering.”

“Bahamas.”

“Why don’t you go there?”

“Because of this.” Pollack lifted his feet and shook the chains.

“We both know you’d have no trouble getting out of here if you wanted to.”

“Really? You think I can walk through walls?” Pollack laughed.

“I know why you’re not telling us the whole truth. You must be afraid that you’ll become a lab rat, which is understandable.”

“A lab rat? You’re speaking in riddles, Peter.” Pollack looked at the camera mounted above the shower cubicle.

“What would you do if you could read minds?”

“That’s an interesting question. I used to fantasize about it when I was a child. I was dying to know what the girls I liked thought about me.”

“What would you do now?”

“Play a lot of poker, I guess.”

“Why? To get rich?”

“No, just for fun.”

“I think it will stop being fun after a while. How can you enjoy a game if you always win?”

“I won’t know until I try.”

“What about telekinesis? Did you fantasize about it when you were a child?”

“Sure. I also dreamed of being able to fly. And teleportation. I thought it would be nice if I could get to London, or Paris, or Hong Kong in an instant. Actually, I still think so.”

“Do you think there are people who can read thoughts or have telekinetic powers?”

“What’s the practical purpose of this discussion?” Pollack deliberately scratched his chin. “Are you trying to bore me to death?”

“You know what the purpose is.”

“Can you at least give me a hint? What could be so important about my childhood fantasies?”

“I’m giving you an opportunity to confess.”

“Confess? You think I’m some kind of psychic? Or do you suspect I can bend spoons?” Max laughed softly.

“Tell me what they did to you on Bradford Island. In exchange, I’ll tell you a secret.”

“A secret? What kind of secret?” Pollack stood up and started slowly pacing the cell.
