Rous looked at him and wondered if he could be of any further use to them. He had been a worthwhile
experimental object. Now they knew that a Mirsalese could be kept from disappearing if he were
surrounded by 3 Terranians under the protection of a powerful defense screen.

Rous placed a hand on the manтАЩs shoulder and spoke to him in a friendly tone. "Go home and be glad
that youтАЩre still alive!"

The man obeyed wordlessly. He staggered away without turning once to look back.

Now Rous stirred into action again. "Come on! We have to find out if anybody in the city has escaped
the tragedy."

Lloyd shoved the small generator into the case and walked away toward the next subway entrance.

"DonтАЩt waste any false hopes on that!" Rous called after him. "The subway isnтАЩt running any more. You
can imagine what happened to the trains when they suddenly lost their drivers."

Rosita had a better idea. A few of the cars which had been overtaken by the catastrophe were still
undamaged. She picked out one of the most powerful models. "Come over here," she called. "I think we
can use this!"

Rous came across the street. Before he got to the car he saw something lying on the pavement. It had a
dull blue shimmer to it and, was shaped like a comb without teeth. He didnтАЩt know what purpose it had
once served but on a sudden impulse he picked it up and stuck it into his pocket.

Rosita had observed this. "What do you want with that?" she asked.

He shrugged. "For a later looksee. It was directly in the path of theтАж that wall. Maybe itтАЩs some kind of
clue.

He got in behind the steering wheel. After having driven the bus it was no task to get the car going and to
guide it carefully among the obstacles that lay ahead in the street.

At the first intersection he turned to his right. The side streets were comparatively narrower although still
a good 40 yards wide but they were just as empty as the Avenue of Kings.

Rous tried to remember the location of the hotel. Inasmuch as they had come this far on the subway he
hadnтАЩt had a chance to get a mental impression of the street layout. However he knew the general
direction and was fairly confident that he could find his way through the empty streetsтАФempty, that is,
except for the clutter of wrecked and driverless cars.

He must have driven this way for half an hour when Lloyd suddenly cried out: "There are people up
ahead! A whole bunch of them. Apparently the misfortune hasnтАЩt hit the whole city."

Rous narrowed his eyes. "Then weтАЩd better be careful. TheyтАЩll think that anybody coming out of the
downtown area is their enemy."

The hotel was in the city outskirts, at least 9 or 10 miles from the Avenue of Kings. Rous required an
hour and a half to cover the distance because of his lack of knowledge of the streets. But finally he got to
a street that he thought he knew. Rosita recognized a sort of jewelry store where she had paused during
