“Rat Castle,” said Monica, in amazement. “No wonder Mom wandered around there. She must have been drinking from that damn canal.”

“Sam’s in there.”

“But Decks said—”

“Decks was wrong.”

“She might be there, too, then,” said Monica quietly. “With that much dead water in her, she could have jumped right across.”

Paul stood up quickly. “We’ve got to go there.”

Monica took a deep breath. “No. Not yet. It’s too dangerous.”

“But we’re wasting time!”

“Paul, I want to go, too. But it’s still light out. At nightfall Armitage’ll come and tell us what’s happening with Cityweb.”

“Sam hates his body! He’d do anything to change it, even if it might kill him.” He faltered for a moment. “Because he knows he’s going to die anyway.”

“But why?”

“It’s part of his condition. They say he’ll only live another twelve years maximum, probably less.”

“Oh.” She seemed to draw into herself, then said bitterly, “So he thinks he can heal himself with the water.”

Paul nodded. “When he called me, he was scared. I think he wanted me to come here and stop him. Why else would he have called? I owe him this.” He studied her face, suddenly needing to tell her. “I let him down.”

“How?”

“The stupidest thing I’ve ever done. We weren’t the same afterward. And then he left for college and it still wasn’t fixed. Isn’t.”

“Tell me.”
