CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Apollo crossed the circular living room. The sounds of the night city were muted up here in this tower apartment. There was a rectangular mirror inset in one section of the pale blue wall.

He stopped close in front of it, touching his face. "I don't look any different," he said quietly.

"What was that?" Brenda was standing near a low sofa, watching him.

"Nothing, just thinking out loud."

"You were injured in the crash, weren't you?"

Facing her, Apollo answered, "Nope, not really."

"Then why were you so anxious to get a look at your face?"

"Just wanted to make sure it was the same one I started out with this morning."

"Charlie, not much of what you've said so far makes any sense." Her frown was deepening.

"That's something else we're going to have to discuss," he said. "You keep calling me Charlie Watts, but actually—"

"Before we talk," she said, holding up a hand in a wait-a-minute gesture, "let me change out of my uniform." She moved toward a doorway.

"Don't get in touch with anyone," he warned, tapping his holstered lasergun.

Shaking her head, she said, "You ought to know me better than that, Charlie." She went through the doorway, closing the door behind her.

Apollo crossed the room and stood listening at the shut door.

"You can't really tell her the truth."

Spinning suddenly around, Apollo saw the man called John sitting comfortably on the low sofa.

"How'd you get here?" Apollo demanded. "I thought you told me nobody could see you on—"

"They can't, you can." He tapped the side of his head. "The point is, you have to pretend you're Charlie Watts. I came to warn you not to confide anything in this young lady, since that would—"

"Who in the hell is this Charlie Watts?"

"Someone whose identity will get you into a governing body called the Precedium," answered the white-suited man. "You're going to tell them the truth about what's happening on Luna Seven and Paradeen."

Apollo touched his face. "And I look just like Charlie?"

"To them," said John.
