Pattersonâs estate was in North Jersey. A rambling sort of place, some miles off the highway. It was easy to see how he could come home to it, open it up, and still not let anyone know he had returned. As we drove, he cleared up a few foggy points for me.
âI didnât return to the States on a regular liner. I had reasons for not doing so; reasons which you will understand in a short time.
âI charted a freighter, a junky little job, from an obscure Peruvian port. Pledged the captain to secrecy. He landed me and my⦠my cargoââ He stumbled on the word for a momentââat a spot which Iâm not at liberty to reveal. Then I came out here and opened up the house.
âThat was just two days ago. I wired my brother, Ki, to come immediately. But heââ
âHeâs working in L. A.,â I said.
âYes. The soonest he could get here would be tonight. He may be at the house when we arrive. I hope so. Iâd like to have two witnesses of that which I am going to show you.â
He frowned. âMaybe Iâm making a mistake, Len. Itâs the damnedest thing you ever heard of. Maybe I ought to call in some professor, too. But⦠I donât know. Itâs so utterly beyond credibility, Iâd like you and Ki to advise me first.â
I said, âWell, what the hell is it, Burch?â Then I suddenly remembered a motion picture Iâd seen some years ago, a movie based on a story by H. G. Wells. âItâs not a⦠a monster, is it?â I asked. âSome beast left over from prehistoric ages?â
âNo, not exactly. At least, I can assure you of this⦠it is not a fossil, either living or dead. Itâs a thing entirely beyond manâs wildest imaginings.â
I leaned back and groaned. âI feel like a kid,â I told him, âon Christmas eve. Step on it, guy.â
