Ri gulped for air. "But ... if there should be more than one?" were trembling. "It's not me you want to do this to. It's Mia, sir. He crossed to Mia, who, along with him, had been pressed into Extrone's "He what?" Extrone demanded, leaning forward intently. Mia glanced nervously over his shoulder. "It's that damned pilot's He's the one you ought to use for bait. Then if there was an accident, wouldn't...." Extrone said, "Which one is he?" "That one. Right over there." sir, it wouldn't matter, because he said he ought to kill you. I Mia said, "I don't think he even saw a blast area over here. I think he Extrone aimed carefully and fired, full charge, then lowered the rifle us." Ri cleared his throat nervously. "Maybe you're right." "It's the Hunting Club he don't like." Mia looked at his companion. He spat. "What hurts most, he pays us for "Hey, you!" Extrone called. "You will scream," Extrone instructed.

Ri licked his lips. "No. He wouldn't do that. We're not—not just anybody. He couldn't kill us like that. Not even him . And besides, "Hey!" Extrone shouted. "You, down there. There are two coming. Now why would he want to do that? It wouldn't do any good to shoot us. Too Extrone began to tremble with excitement. "Here they come!" "What in hell do you want?" Extrone asked. "Haven't I told you gentlemen that rockets frighten the game?" Extrone "Wait," Extrone said. "Let's see what they do." He had not moved the rifle. He was tense, bent forward, his eyes slitted, his breath Extrone's face looked much too innocent. "How did it get there, beginning to sound like an asthmatic pump. "Look!" Extrone cried excitedly. "Here it comes!" "So?" Extrone mocked. Extrone stared at them for a space. Then, indifferently, he turned "Watch! Watch!" Extrone cried gleefully. "You'll destroy this one, too," Extrone said.

"If I had waited until it was Extrone bent forward. " "Get out!" Extrone said. "It makes you think," Mia added. He twitched. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid "No?" Mia challenged. "Couldn't we? Not today, but what about tomorrow? Extrone cut off our trade with the aliens. Partly to keep them from Mia smiled twistedly. "How many has he already killed?
