.Thank you for all your help.""Thank you, Doctor.That man would have been a serious danger here.You've wasted no time tracking him down." The colonel nodded to Smith, then to Chiun."And your courage in trying to keep this lunatic under control is commendable."Page 39ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html"It is difficult, but I do what I must," Chiun said, his pride tinged with suffering.He elbowed Remo in the ribs."Struggle," he whispered."Act as though you are trying to free yourself from these metal bracelets." He raised his voice."Back, beast," he shouted, slapping Remo's face."Clear away,"Chiun ordered the officers."I will subdue the madman.Back, dogfaced one." He made a show of striking Remo again."Go on, Remo, fight," he whispered.Reluctantly, Remo raised his hands to cover his face.In doing so, he snapped the handcuffs in two.He tried to tie the chain together, but the metal crumbled into shards."Where'd you get these, Smitty, Toy City?" Remo asked.Smith escorted him wordlessly out of the compound while Chiun spun around them both, flailing at Remo and shrieking, "Back, mad white lunatic!" for the benefit of passersby.Outside the gate, Remo let the scraps of metal remaining from the handcuffs drop to the ground.97"Submit, wildman," Chiun yelled."Er—thank you, Chiun," Smith said, "but we needn't continue the ruse."The old Oriental shrugged."The Master of Sin-anju respects his emperor's wishes," he said.He turned to Remo."But do not forget your place, dogface.Heh, heh.Dogface.""I'll keep it in mind," said Remo."What are you doing here, Smitty? Aren't you going out on a limb by coming after us?""Yes, but we haven't got any time to lose.One of our operatives at the New York Times came through with some information you'd better investigate right away." He told Remo about the press conference scheduled for noon at Fort Vadassar."The Times checked everything out with the Pentagon files.Apparently, Vadassar's been operating since 1979." /Remo looked disgusted."Thanks a lot, Smitty.You said you couldn't find a trace of Fort Vadassar on your computers.You could have saved me this, whole trip if your information was correct.""My information is always correct," Smith said, his face expressionless."Is that so.Then how do you explain an army base thaf s been around since 1979?""Given the reliability of the Folcroft information terminals, there is only one explanation possible.Vadassar does not exist.""What about the Pentagon files?""They must be wrong."Remo looked at Smith sideways."But Smitty," he said, trying to sound reasonable, "the army's holding the conference.They ought to know if their fort exists or not."98Smith's calm remained unruffled."I don't care if the man in the moon is holding the press conference, Remo.Fort Vadassar is not a base for the United States Army.Now you find out what it is."99NineArtemis Thwill awoke to the taste of bitter black coffee burning his tonsils."Up and at 'em, Art," Randy Nooner said."Two hours to showtime."Thwill tried to shake himself out of his drugged stupor."My back," he murmured, touching the sore spot where the needle had entered."What did you do to me?""Only a mild sedative.It worked wonders.The troops think the government is out to kill you.Seeing you alive will give their morale a real shot in the arm.""Samantha," he moaned.'Tin right here, honey," Samantha called from the floor, where she was counting a stack of greenbacks.She licked her lips in appreciation."Golly, Artemis, that fainting spell of yours pulled in almost fifty thousand dollars.And we didn't even have a service.Maybe we should make it a regular part of the routine."Page 40ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.html"No," Artemis said, feeling the headache throb in his skull.Randy Nooner smiled."No," she repeated.100"That's only for special occasions.Like when Artemis doesn't feel like reading his speeches the way they were written [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
