тАЬThat's what we get for admitting all these Jersey rednecks. We ought to recruit out of state.тАЭ

тАЬMy point is, we're surrounded by the guy. He's everywhere. If a fundamentalist preacher can get
something going on a modem college campus, he's all but unstoppable. And Brother Pierce owns
Maywell State. Simple as that.тАЭ

тАЬSo what's our alternative? Shut down the lab and go home?тАЭ

тАЬIt amounts to a further impetus to work fast, in my opinion. Even beyond the funding problem. The
longer we take, the more trouble he can cause us.тАЭ

тАЬWhat do you suggest?тАЭ

тАЬDamn the experimental protocols and go for the big win. I think the way to go is to move directly to the
rhesus experiment.тАЭ dark's eyes were hollow. тАЬDespite the problems we're bound to encounter.тАЭ

тАЬBut what about the Stohlmeyer people? We'd be violating our own experimental protocols.тАЭ

тАЬWe have an obligation.тАЭ His voice shook. тАЬConstance tells me that time is short. She can't wait much
longer.тАЭ

тАЬIt's a hell of a risk.тАЭ

тАЬWhat if this place is bombed or burned down? The risk of that could be even greater.тАЭ

Since the monkeys were already under health-status observation, it would take less time to work one of
them up than to recast the frog experiment. In addition to proving an experimental animal's health, they
had to measure the tiny voltages in its brain and adjust all of their instruments to them so that the creature
wouldn't be in effect shorted out when they nullified its internal electrical field. It was a long, complex
task. But they had been measuring the monkeys regularly for weeks, dark had a point. It would indeed
be faster to go straight to the monkeys and forget the frogs. The risks were clear: if they failed,
Stohlmeyer would cut them off. Then there was the equipment difficulty. тАЬMonkeys are a lot bigger than
frogs. How do we get money to expand the field?тАЭ

With a rueful look dark withdrew his waliet, pulied out a VISA card. тАЬAll I have.тАЭ

тАЬThree thousand dollars on a credit card?тАЭ

тАЬOne thousand, sadly enough. And you're good for another, unless I miss my guess. Or did Kate pick
your bones?тАЭ
George's bitter reply echoed through the dank, animal-scented lab. тАЬI'm good for another thousand only
if I can get a loan on my car.тАЭ

тАЬWe could try Constance. It's just a little cash. Surely she can give us that without exposing the link
between the lab and the Covenstead.тАЭ

Bonnie called from the animal room, тАЬYou know how conservative she is, George. You'll never get it out
of her.тАЭ
