KATYA AND MONICA found Svetlana in the safe-house apartment where Katya had left her. “What’s happening, my dear?” Svetlana asked.

“General Ferguson and the others are meeting. He’d like us to join them.”

“And what about Alexander?”

“He’ll be there.”

She gave Svetlana her arm and they went out, Monica following. When they went down the corridor, the doors of the viewing theater were open and Kurbsky was standing there in all his glory. He stared at them then, pulled off his woolen hat, and scratched his head.

Svetlana barely looked at him and said, “Where are we going? Where is Alexander?”

“The computer room,” Katya said. They carried on, and Kurbsky called, “No, he isn’t, you made your point. I’m here, Babushka.” They paused and turned. Svetlana gazed at him, puzzled.

“I’m here,” he said again, and opened his arms.

She screamed and cowered against Katya. “What is he saying? Where is Alexander?”

She really was terribly upset, and the others came running from the computer room, Ferguson calling, “What the hell is going on?”

They stopped dead, all staring, and then Roper arrived in his wheelchair. “My God, I’d never have believed it.”

“And neither can she.” Katya hugged her tight. “It is Alexander, my darling. It’s just that I’ve changed him.”

“It’s me, Babushka.” He reached to kiss her on the forehead. “It really is me.”

“Can you change back?”

“Not for the moment.”

She shuddered. “Such a fright. I need a drink. I’ve never been so shocked in my life.”

Ferguson gave her his arm. “Coming right up. We’ll all go to the bar and celebrate.”

“Celebrate what?”

“Well, if you can’t recognize him, it’s doubtful anyone else will.”
