His muddled memory fumbled back to his grievance against traffic cops, distorting and magnifying the injustice he had received at their hands. He had once had a home, a wife and a fortune, he declared, and what had happened? Laws and cops had driven him out, had robbed him of his home and his family and sent him out in the hills like a damned kiotey, hopin' he'd starve to death.
The people Piddie was doin' business with was that kind. Next I takes a walk around into Broad-st., where the mounted cops keep the big-wind bunch roped in so's they can't break loose and pinch the doorknobs off the Subtreasury.
Only don't don't let d' cops get me, 'cause o' Hermy. If you croak me, she'll think I got it in a scrap, maybe; so if you wanter plug me, go ahead!" "But what are you shivering for?" "I I'm just waitin', sir," answered Spike, closing his eyes, "I I seen a guy shot once!" Mr. Ravenslee sighed and nodded.
Sergeant Madden found his mind obscurely switching to the matter of delinks those characters who act like adolescents, not only while they are kids, but after. They were the permanent major annoyance of the cops, because what they did didn't make sense. Learned books explained why people went delink, of course.
But I see a couple of traffic cops comin' over from Broadway; so I breaks through, grabs Clifford by the arm, and chases him down the avenue, breathin' some hard but not much hurt. "Chee!" says I, "but you're a wonder! Was you tryin' to buy an eight-mile cab ride for a quarter?" "Why, no," says he.
But I thought maybe you'd lecture me, and when you've committed a murder, and been brought here and everything there was a big crowd outside the apartment house, all staring, and the cops took me through it Oh, I'm not going to talk about it any more." But he went on, in a monotonous, terrified insane mumble. To divert him Babbitt said, "Why, you got a scar on your cheek." "Yes.
We got the dope from our southern receiver. North America's called it all a mistaken emergency measure and turned it back to Security." "Along with how many war rockets?" Gordon asked. "None. They never gave any real power, never will. The only strength Security's ever had comes from the fact that it always wins, somehow. Forget the crooks and crooked cops, man!
Brink grinned faintly, but he said pleasantly: "Tsk. Tsk. Tsk." "He jams down the accelerator and rams a telephone pole," pursued Fitzgerald. "There's four hoods in that car, remember, and every one of 'em's got a police record you could paper a house with. And they've got four sawed-off shotguns and a tommy-gun in the back seat. They're all laid out cold when the cops arrive."
Result: one dead kid, one getaway. One of the cops got a bad gash on his arm from a vibroblade, and one of the priests got it in the abdomen. He'll live, but he's in bad shape." Mike said something under his breath that might have been an oath, except that it avoided all mention of the Deity. Then he added that Name, in a different tone of voice. "I agree," said Cowder.
Skeeny and the Cricket, who were in on the play with him, didn't have time to get him loose before the bulls got there. So Danglar told them to beat it, and he handed the cops the story that was in the papers.
