They did not suspect that she did this only to cover the thin, pencil-line scar, evidence that a small cylinder lay Her husband had been one of the small group who developed this tiny instrument. Not the inventor— his name was Stinson, and the effects produced by it were known as the Stinson Effect. In appearance it resembled a small semi-conductor device. Analysis by the best scientific minds proved it to be a semi-conductor. Yet it held the power to move a body instantly from one point in space to any other point. Each unit was custom built, keyed to operate only by the thought pattern of the particular individual. Konvs, and had been tempted to identify herself and say, "Here I am. You are one of them so am I. Come, and we'll talk. We'll talk about Stinson and Benjamin, who helped them all get away. And Doctor Straus. That night she soundlessly lifted the screen from the window over his bed and shot him with a .22 rifle. She threw the weapon into the river. It helped very little. He was one Agent, only one out of all the thousands of Agents all over Earth while her husband had been one of twenty-eight persons. She decided then that her efforts would be too ineffective. The odds were wrong. She would wait until her son, Earl, was grown. Together they would seek revenge. He did not have the cylinder—not yet. But he would. The Konvs took care of their own. Her husband had been one of the first, and they would not forget. One day the boy would disappear for a few hours. When he returned the small Later they would go to Alpha Centaurus, where a life free from Agents could be lived. It happened to Earl one hot summer day when he was fourteen. Mrs. You may as well get used to it now." "Get used to what?" "What?" "Never mind. What happened just now?" that looked like the first one only he was bigger. We went to a house, not far away and went inside. And that's all I can remember until I also our side." He turned back, a dawning comprehension showing in his eyes. "That's right, you're one, too. That is why you killed that Agent in the third cabin." It was her turn to be surprised. "You knew about that?" followed you. I never told anyone." "But you were only nine!" "They would have taken you away if I'd said anything." So he sat across the kitchen table from her, and she told the whole history, beginning with Stinson sitting in the laboratory in New Jersey, holding in his hand a small cylinder moulded from silicon with controlled impurities. He had made it, looking for a better first. He felt the sand and water, and felt of himself there was no mistake. On the plane back to New Jersey he came to certain conclusions regarding the strange power of his device. He tried it again, secretly. Then he made more cylinders. He was the only man in the world who knew how to construct it, and he kept the secret, giving cylinders to selected people. He worked out the basic principle, calling it a It was a subject of wonder and much speculation, but no one took serious notice of them until one night a federal Agent arrested one man for indecency. It was a valid charge. One disadvantage of this method of travel was that, while a body could travel instantaneously to any chosen spot, it arrived without clothes. He went alone, not knowing if he could go so far, or what he would find when he arrived. But he did arrive, and it was what he had sought. He returned for the others. They gathered one night in a dirty, broken-down farmhouse in Missouri—and disappeared in a body, leaving the Agents standing helplessly on Earth, shaking their fists at the sky. "You have asked many times," Mrs. Jamieson said, "how your father died. Now I will tell you the truth. Your father was one of the great ones, along with Stinson and Benjamin and Dr. Straus. He helped plan the escape you couldn't do them?" Just like that, it was over. That is, the first shock was over. Mrs. Jamieson watched Earl leave the at night mostly, taking longer and longer jumps, until Earl's They would select a spot sufficiently remote to insure detection, she would devise some prank to irritate the Agents then they would quickly swear and drive back to their offices to dig through files, searching for some clue to their identity. It was inevitable that they should identify Mrs. Jamieson as one of the offenders, since they had discovered, even before Stinson took his Had she returned to Earth? The question did not trouble them long. They had more serious problems. Stinson had selected only the best of the it. You have a long way to go before you will be ready." During the long winter evenings, after they had watched their favorite great ones," he would say, and she would repeat all the things she remembered about Stinson and Benjamin and Straus. She never tired of discussing them. She would tell about Benjamin's wife, Lisa, and try to ready, not only in ways of avoiding their traps ... but ready with a heart full of hate. Earl was ready for college. They had successfully kept their secret. They had been vigilant in every detail. Earl referred to the "damn go to Centaurus." "Why not now?" "Because when you get there they will need men who can contribute to the great ones get sick." She did not mention her secret hope, that before they left Earth he would have fully avenged his father's death. He was clever and the university." "Why not? Stinson selected only educated, intelligent people. When one dies the cylinder is taken and adjusted to a new thought pattern—usually a person from the same family. I would say it is very are two bedrooms." She said quickly, "You can if you wish. I just thought you'd like being alone, at your age. Most boys do." Have you forgotten your own father? " She turned her back and slammed the door. Earl stood very still for Earl did not use the room that first year. He slept in the second after the first attempt, but he persisted in his efforts to be so. Use of the cylinder was out of the question for them now, anyway. long convalescence. Earl moved into the new bedroom. At first she she soon grew aware of her mistake. One day he disappeared. Earl from making the mistake of taking on more than he could handle. When she arrived at her own home, Earl was in his room. we only want law and order. There is room enough in the world for both of us.'" And they were in the best position to gain them. She was consumed by fear that one or more of the men on Earl's list might have acquired a an Agent has been killed. The one in Bangkok will tell them about you and the list of names, and it's all they need." "Well, what else can he do?" Earl asked. "After all, he is an Agent. calmly. "They won't find us." "Oh, yes they will," she said. "Don't underestimate them. Agents are picked from the most intelligent people on Earth. It will be a small years ago, teasing them. They linked your pattern with mine. They know that your father and I had a son. Your birth was recorded. The only might hate them too, or learn to like them. But I can do neither, so I am halfway between, and no man can live this way." does it?" "No, it doesn't. This is not the time for such discussions, anyway. The talk." Suddenly they were not alone. No sound was generated by the man's coming. One instant they were "Yes," she said. "We are ready." "I remember when you were born," he said, and smiled in reminiscence. "Your father was afraid you would be twins." greatest man among us. It was he who first conceived the theory that there was a basic, underlying law in the operation of the cylinders. Benjamin and her son were gone. Her outstretched hands touched nothing. Her power was gone! Love, Benjamin said, the greatest of these is love. Or did someone else say that? Someone, somewhere, perhaps in another time, in some misty, forgotten chip of time long gone, in another frame of reference
