1030-VI-3 April 1963 - Cleveland, Ohio-Apex Bldg.:

"Hey! " he repeated. -- Take this damn thing off! "

"Sorry, " I apologized and did so, stuffed the net into

the case, closed it. -- You said you wanted to find him. --

"But - you said that was a time machine! "

I pointed out a window. -- Does that look like

November? Or New York? -- While he was gawking at new buds and

spring weather, I reopened the case, took out a packet of

hundred-dollar bills, checked that the numbers and signatures

were compatible with 1963. The Temporal Bureau doesn't care how

much you spend (it costs nothing) but they don't like

unnecessary anachronisms. Too many mistakes, and a general

court-martial will exile you for a year in a nasty period, say

1974 with its strict rationing and forced labor. I never make

such mistakes; the money was okay.

He turned around and said, "What happened? --

"He's here. Go outside and take him. Here's expense

money. -- I shoved it at him and added, "Settle him, then I'll

pick you up. --

Hundred-dollar bills have a hypnotic effect on a person

not used to them. He was thumbing them unbelievingly as I eased

him into the hall, locked him out. The next jump was easy, a

small shift in era.
