Rous said nothing more. A few minutes later he pulled to a stop in front of the hotel.

The streets were also empty in this sector. Lloyd maintained that the cluster of mental impulses he had
received had come from a southwesterly direction. Apparently the southwestern portion of Fillinan was
the only part of the city that had escaped the fate of the others.

The hotel was now emptier feeling than before. Even the little man had disappeared. Rous rang a few
times but when no one showed up at the desk he helped himself to the room keys. The elevator did not
function. The catastrophe had also caused the power room attendant to disappear and now there wasnтАЩt
any electricity.

They went up the stairs without saying a word to one another. They had enough on their minds to make

Instead of separating, they all went together to RousтАЩ room. Before Rous went in, Lloyd gave him a
warning signal and pointed to the door. Rous raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment and then finally
nodded. At the same time he pointed to LloydтАЩs equipment case. Lloyd took out the psycho-beamer.

At first glance the room had the appearance of not having been disturbed. But as soon as Rosita had
closed the door behind her, faces appeared from behind sofas, chairs and tables. They were the faces of
the police. The men rose up now into full view, each with his miniature flame-thrower aimed right at them.

One of the police officers Rous recognized. It was Flaring. Flaring came out from his place of
concealment. Smiling sarcastically, he said: "We thought that perhaps you could enlighten us concerning
the recent catastrophe that has occurred. ThatтАЩs why weтАЩve come here!"

3 agents. Like the first, it only lasted about 3 seconds. Thereafter the signals continued coming in
flawlessly.

On the other hand, the GazelleтАЩs transmitter had not yet been disturbed.

Rhodan assumed that Rous and his companions had made тАШenemy contactтАЩ for the 2nd time. The fact
that Rous had not communicated with the ship after the first contact was undoubtedly an indication that
the incident had been of no consequence.

Now it remained to be seen whether or not such was the case this timeтАж
