"Yes," answered Flaring simply.

"GoodтАФand over and above all that we do happen to be a cooperative and philanthropic race of
people. So if we can do anything to keep the Unknowns from taking you lock, stock and barrel, weтАЩll
certainly do it. But if that is to happen then itтАЩs necessary, of course, that you donтАЩt put roadblocks in
front of us!" With this last statement he gave Flaring a challenging look.

Flaring hesitated for awhile and then he said: "I am not authorized to make decisions on this type of
matter. I shall have to submit what I have heard here to a higher authority, who will have to decide."

"The only thing I can arrange to ease the restrictions a bit," here he smiled slightly "is to discontinue
keeping you under surveillance. Will you give me your word that you will not leave the city?"

Rous raised his right hand. "That I can assure you."

"Good. Then I will let you know as soon as possible what has been decided."

He made the formalities of departure. Also there was not one of his men who exited without saying a
proper goodbye

Outside, evening settled upon the city. It grew dark. Nowhere was there a light to be seen. The police
had enough to do without also manning the power plant.

Lloyd and Rosita had returned to their rooms. Under an emergency light, Rous prepared a coded report
concerning their experiences on Mirsal 2 up to the present moment. He wished to send it to theDrusus .

The report also included the negotiations with Flaring, and Rous requested an approval of his method of
procedure. Although the uncoded text of the report was 3000 words or more in length, the punched
plastic tape containing the coded version was small enough to be rolled up in his hand.

He started for LloydтАЩs room where the latter kept the micro-com in his equipment case. En route he
passed through RositaтАЩs room. Rosita stood at the window and stared out into the night. She didnтАЩt turn
around when Rous came in but he heard her speak. "Everything is so terribly quiet!"

He came and stood by her at the window. There was nothing to be seenтАФnot even the front of the
houses across the street.

Almost a million and a half people had become victims of the invisible enemy during this 2nd attack. This
was a count that Flaring had mentioned.

A million and a half people who disappeared from the face of this world in the space of only a few
minutes! Why? To what purpose?
