 The hotel that the Mirsalese had described was in the vicinity. They went there on foot. Pedestrians
stared at them and stopped to watch them. Rous felt uneasy. Rosita kept her eyes on the ground and did
not look up.

On the other hand, Lloyd was apparently not in the slightest impressed by all this. He muttered
continuously to himself; he nodded or shook his head and undoubtedly was sufficiently occupied by his
own monologue to fail to notice the curiosity of the Mirsalese.

Suddenly he stopped. "Darn it!" he exclaimed.

"WhatтАЩs the matter?" asked Rous.

"Everybody who travels requires a special permit," said Lloyd thoughtfully. "So the people who were on
our bus must have been very important people, wouldnтАЩt you say?"

Rous nodded. "Okay. And so?"

"Take a look at the way people park their cars here."

Rous had a look around. He had already noticed that people on Mirsal 2 drove on the left side of the
street and correspondingly parked on the left side. But it had not occurred to him to give the matter any
further thought.

"To the left," he answered. "WhatтАЩs the point?"

"But donтАЩt you remember that you parked the bus on the right?"

"So what if I did?"

Lloyd looked at him a bit caustically. "Lieutenant, IтАЩm straight out of New York. If a bus full of important
people disappeared in New York and the police found it later parked on the wrong side of the street,
from just that alone theyтАЩd draw a bunch of conclusions. Maybe the police are just as sharp in Fillinan as
they are in New York. On top of it theyтАЩve already been on alert here for 3 days. And finally: the first
guard post we passed wonтАЩt have any recollection of us. But the second sentry station will be able to
report, if anybody asks them, what direction they saw us coming from."

Rous had become thoughtful. "You could be right, Lloyd," he admitted. "But the only thing left for us to
do is simply to wait it out and see just how smart the Fillinan cops are!"

They continued onward to the hotel. The large lobby was absolutely empty. There was no one behind
the reception desk. However there was a call bell and after Rous had pressed the button several times a
little man finally appeared who reacted skeptically to RousтАЩ request for separate rooms for himself and
each of his companions. The little fellow demanded credentials and special permits but Lloyds
pyscho-beamer influenced him to forget his request in a hurry. The 3 of them were assigned rooms and
were directed to the 2nd floor of the hotel.

In spite of LloydтАЩs having used the psycho-beamer, Rous selected the rooms strictly in terms of their
own particular suitability. They had connecting doors between them so that one wouldnтАЩt have to go out
into the hallway in order to visit his neighbor.
 Rous settled into his room by placing the bolster and the covers from the bed on the floor, where he
