OUTSIDE, Duff Berker was shuffling along the street. He come to an old house and entered. He went through a hall to a little back room. He entered, turned on a light and closed the door. A pay telephone was on the wall. It bore a placard: “Out of order.”

Duff picked up the receiver. He turned the mouthpiece with his other hand. A hissing sound reached his ear through the receiver.

“Fang Eleven,” reported Duff.
