Vidac waited until the last car had vanished down the road, then he turned to Astro, "Do you really think you fooled me with that stuff about Manning and Corbett running out on you?" "What happened to them then?" asked Astro innocently. "We'll see," said Vidac softly, looking up into the hills. Holding a paralo-ray gun on the giant cadet, Vidac forced him into his jet car.
Frightened, the guard pulled the paralo-ray gun out of its holster, but Astro quickly stepped in and sank his fist deep into the guard's stomach. The man dropped like a stone. Astro grinned and turned his back to walk toward the heater. He heard the other workers begin to chatter excitedly, but he didn't pay any attention to them. "Astro! Astro!" His little assistant ran up beside him.
He dared not sleep. Hungry animals were moving about freely now. A paralo-ray gun and the rifle, both cocked and ready to fire, were held in his hands. He relaxed as completely as he could, idly watching the mother of a brood of the anthropoids scamper through the branches of the trees overhead, bringing her squalling young their breakfast.
"You can drop that now," said a voice in back of Tom. The curly-haired cadet whirled around to face Governor Hardy, holding a paralo-ray rifle up to his shoulder, aimed and ready to fire. "You're a good spaceman, Corbett," said Hardy in a cold, harsh voice, "but this is the last time you'll ever get into my hair!"
"If we only had a paralo-ray gun," muttered Roger as he and Tom sped after Vidac's powerful jet car. "Yes," agreed Tom. "This could be a trap, but what can we do?" Roger was silent. They had moved out of the cave as soon as Astro had been taken down the hill and they knew exactly what Vidac had in mind.
The cadet glanced around quickly in the direction of the guardhouse where he knew there was a communicator to the sergeant of the guard. Should he call for help? He decided against it and moved forward toward the noise he had heard, his finger poised on the trigger of the paralo-ray gun. "Advance and be recognized," he called again.
Without a word they moved in three different directions simultaneously. Tom dived for one door, Astro the other, while Roger flopped to the floor. The driver fired, missing all of them, and before he could fire again he was jerked out of his seat and held in a viselike grip by Astro. Tom quickly wrenched the paralo-ray gun from his hand.
But you don't argue against a paralo-ray gun, especially when there are women and children to worry about." Tom whirled around and faced Roger and Astro. "I guess we don't need any more proof now," he said coldly.
We waited for your pals to leave the ship, and then I short-circuited the electronic lock on the brig." Tom stared at the two men unbelievingly. "All right, Corbett, get over there to that control board," growled Loring, waving the paralo-ray gun at Tom. "We're going back to Tara." "Tara?" exclaimed Tom. "But Major Connel and the others they're they're down on the satellite.
They had been walking for nearly an hour and the tunnels still slanted downward but more sharply now. Turning into a much larger tunnel than any of the rest, Astro noticed a huge door on one side. Through its crystal-covered ports he saw racks of illegal heat blasters and paralo-ray guns.
