?How
do you people manage to look so presentable after such a perfectly horrendous trip?? asked the
psychiatrist
?None of us will look this presentable after a couple of hours of liberty in Paris, sir
?Some things never change, CorporalWhere?s that crippled delinquent who was
with me??
?He was vehicled off for a diplograph, sir
?Come again? A noun?s a verb leading to the incomprehensible??
?It?s not so hard, Doctor,? laughed the marine, leading Panov to a motorized cart complete with
a uniformed driver and a stenciled American flag on the side?During our descent, the tower
radioed the pilot that there was an urgent message for him
?I thought he went to the bathroom
?That, too, I believe, sir The corporal put the
cartier pasha watch suitcase on a rear rack and helped Mo into the
cart?Easy now, Doctor, lift your leg up a little higher

?That?s the other one, not me,? protested the psychiatrist?He?s the one without a foot
?We were told you?d been ill, sir
?Not in my goddamned legsSorry, young man, no offenseI just don?t like flying in small
tubes a hundred and ten miles up in the skyNot too many astronauts come from Tremont Avenue
in the Bronx
?Hey, you?re kidding, Doc!?
?What??
?I?m from Garden Street, you know, across from the zoo! The name?s Fleishman, Morris
FleishmanNice to meet a fellow Bronxite
?Morris?? said Panov, shaking hands?Morris the Marine? I should have had a talk with your
parentsAnd thank you

?You get better, Doc, and when you see Tremont Avenue again, give it my best, okay??
?I will, indeed, Morris,? replied Morris, raising his hand as the diplomatic cart shot forward
Four minutes later, escorted by the driver, Panov entered the long gray corridor that was the
immigration-free access to France for government functionaries of nations accredited by the Quai
d?OrsayThey walked into the large holding lounge where men and women were gathered in small
groups, conversing quietly, the sounds of different languages filling the roomAlarmed, Mo saw
that Conklin was nowhere in sight; he turned to the driver-escort as a young woman dressed in the
neutral uniform of a hostess approached
?Docteur?? she
fake gucci asked, addressing Panov
?Yes,? replied Mo, surprised?But I?m afraid my French is pretty rusty if not nonexistent
?It?s of no matter, sirYour companion requested that you remain here until he returnsIt will be
no more than a few minutes, he was quite sureMay I bring you a drink??
?Bourbon with ice, if you?d be so kind,? answered Panov, lowering himself into the armchair The hostess retreated as the driver placed Mo?s suitcase beside him
?I have to get back to my vehicle,? said the diplomatic escort
?I wonder where my friend went,? mused Panov, glancing at his watch
?Probably to an outside phone, DoctorThey come in here, get messages at the counters, then go
like hell into the terminal to find public pay phones; they don?t like the
prada fringe ones in hereThe Russkies
always walk the fastest; the Arabs, the slowest
?Must be their respective climates,? offered the psychiatrist, smiling
?Don?t bet your stethoscope on it The driver laughed and brought his hand up for an informal
salute?Take care, sir, and get some rest
?Thank you, young man I am tired, thought Panov as the escort disappeared into
the gray corridorSo tired, but Alex was rightIf he?d flown here alone, I would never have forgiven
himDavid! We?ve got to find him! The damage to him could be incalculable?none of them
understandsWith a single act his fragile, damaged mind could regress years?thirteen years?to
where he was a functioning killer, and for him nothing else! The figure above was
talking to
