"That is of no consequence to you "

Yes, Janos was definitely miffed Stoner smiled Wherever they were going, it would be better than this And he might get an opportunity to get away from this maniac

Hours passed, then finally one of the tall many-armed robots came into his room, pulled Stoner's arms behind his back and snapped a pair of handcuffs on his wrists Then it slipped a burlap hood over Stoner's head The bag smelled of coffee It effectively blocked his vision, although the robot did not tie it tight around his neck, so some light filtered in and Stoner could see a sliver of the floor at his feet

Almost immediately he realized what was happening They have to move me, and it will probably be by plane They won't have room for the robots They'll have to come into fairly close contact with me Janos is afraid that I'll be able to control him and the others, and he thinks that my ability to manipulate people depends on my being able to see them-- like a hypnotist

He almost danced down the hallway as the robot led him out of the room That's fanos's mistake He thinks he'll be safe as long as I can't see him How wrong he is.

Relief and a strange, bitter form of elation flooded Stoner I don't have to see him, I don't have to touch him Just let me get close enough to talk to the sonofabitch without an intercom system between us Just let me into the same room with him and I'll bend his brain into pretzels I'll twist his guts inside out I'll snap his bones, each and every one of them.

His star brother said nothing, but Stoner sensed the alien

presence's cool disapproval. Slowly, slowly as the robot led him carefully into an ancient elevator that wheezed and groaned as it descended and then out across a wide expanse that must have been the hotel's lobby and finally through a creaking set of boards that served as a door and into the hot brightness of real sunlight--slowly Stoner's exhilaration died away.

Patience, he told himself. Remember the story of the young bull and the old bull. He felt the touch of his star brother's curiosity. Smiling inwardly, Stoner explained, The young bull sees a herd of cows grazing in the distance and says to the old bull, "I'm going to run over there and grab a cow for myself." The old bull says, "Let's walk calmly and get all of them."

His star brother smiled back. Let Janos take us to his superiors. Then we will find out who is behind all this.

Yes, Stoner said. Let him take me to those who are responsible for Cathy's murder. He saw his daughter's body floating in the swimming pool again, saw her blood spreading across the lighted water. His elation turned to pain.

He was bundled into a car of some sort, probably a van from the way he had to climb up and slide into a padded bench.
