was hard to get, as you found out. On that trip he learned so much new stuff
that it is now
impossible to kill him by any ordinary means. You should realize that fact
when he kills every
gangster you send against him. At all events be very, very careful not to
killтАФnor even hurtтАФhis
wife in any of your attacks, even by accident, until after you have killed.
"Such an event would be regrettable, certainly, in that it would remove
all possibility of
the abduction."
"It would remove more than that. Remember the explosion in our
laboratory, that blew an
entire mountain into I impalpable dust? Draw in your mind a nice, vivid
picture of one ten times
the size in each of our plants and in this building. I know that you are fool
