And if I had not, Copper would not have become pregnant and forced me into these drastic actions. It's even possible that I would have done nothing." He grimaced. "And when I left Alexander's employment mnemonic erasure would have removed all memory of the Lani's human origin." He shrugged. "I still am not certain that it wouldn't have been the wiser course.
Even if he were completely well, the results would have been the same. It would merely have taken longer. Kennon drove a vicious judo chop to the junction of the Lani's neck and shoulder. Brute strength was no match for the highly evolved mayhem that every spaceman learns as a necessary part of his trade. George had never been on planet leave in a spaceport town.
George charged hands reaching for Kennon's throat, face twisted in a snarl of rage and hate. But even as he charged Kennon moved. He ducked beneath the Lani's outstretched hands and drove his left fist deep into George's belly just below the breastbone. Air whistled out of the Lani's gaping mouth as he bent double from the power of the blow.
Kennon clipped him on the chin with a driving knee, snapping George's head back and smashed the bearded face with the shackles. Blood spurted and George screamed with rage. One of the Lani's big hands wrapped around the shackles and tugged. Kennon let go and drove another left to George's ribs. The Lani threw the irons at Kennon, but his aim was poor.
Kennon reacted automatically. His arms came up inside the Lani's and crashed down, elbows out, tearing the Lani loose. He jumped back, rubbing his bruised throat. "That fellow's not sick!" he gasped. "He's crazy!" The Lani glared at him through the bars, disappointment written on his scarred and bearded face. "I warned you," Douglas said. His voice held an undertone of malicious laughter.
No we'll get everything possible done to make the Lani's case airtight, and then I'll return to Kardon. It will put our case in a better light if it ever comes to trial, if I go back voluntarily. Anyway I'm morally bound to return. Now let's make this record." "It's your decision," Brainard said. "And it's your neck but I must admit that I agree with you."
How long have you been inhouse?" "Almost a month, sir." "You're terminated. Report to Goldie and tell her that Man Alexander wants you sent back to your group." The Lani's eyes widened. "Man Alexander! You?" Alexander nodded. "Gosh!" she breathed. "The big boss!" "Get moving," Alexander snapped, "and tell Goldie to report to me in my quarters." "Yes, sir, right away, sir!"
He wasn't frightened, but he had never met an opponent like this. A chill raced up the back of his legs and spread over his stomach and chest. His mouth was dry and his muscles quivered with tense anticipation. But his concentration never wavered. His hard blue eyes never left George's, searching with microscopic intentness for the faintest sign of the Lani's intentions.
