"Are you certain?" Zircon pressed close to examine the machine. "Yes. I stumbled over my own feet and tipped the compressor on its side. And oil ran out through the air fitting. Look!" Scotty held up his hand, and it was smeared with glistening oil. A cold shiver traced its way down Rick's spine. Oil in a compressor was blown into fine particles, too small to be seen.
He was a bit vain, rather selfish, and liked to have his own way, a very rare failing among boys. Still, he was a bright boy, and he had his generous impulses as well as his selfish ones. Rick Grimes, aged ten, was a stout, Dutchy kind of lad, rather slow and heavy, but well-meaning and pretty resolute. There was also Billy Grimes, Rick's cousin, and a year younger.
Time after time he bore down on a slow-moving Egyptian and Rick's heart leaped into his throat until collision was averted by some miracle or other, usually a wild, record-breaking leap by the pedestrian.
And where there's a source of air is also daylight." "I'd feel better if I could see some." They rested in silence for five minutes by Rick's watch, then resumed, working as close to the top of the pile as they could get. Scotty suddenly let out a yell, and Rick dodged to escape another rock, then leaped down as the whole pile crumbled. The rocks didn't fall far. "Look," Scotty said breathlessly.
"Look!" Scotty exclaimed. Rick looked, and let out a yell. "Steve! Steve Ames!" In the next moment he could have bitten his tongue out, because it was entirely possible that Steve wasn't traveling under his own identity. Ames was an athletic-looking young man in a white suit and Panama hat. He stopped at Rick's hail, turned, and waited for the boys to catch up. His face split in a pleased grin.
The nurse, a pleasant-faced woman of middle age, smiled. "That's a good sign. Let's see what we can do. Ready for visitors?" "Send them in," Rick said cheerfully. "Or is it just one?" "Two." The nurse went to the door and beckoned. "I'll send in some breakfast," she said, and left. Rick's hand touched his head gingerly.
A thousand feet above his head a tremendous Air Force Stratocruiser circled patiently. A thousand feet below him a flight of Navy Banshee fighters awaited clearance for landing. And climbing through the pattern came a division of Air Force F-80's. Rick's neck ached from swiveling around. Scotty was helping him watch for other aircraft.
He knew Rick's captors would not have an easy time making his pal talk. And even when Rick did open up, he would spin some kind of yarn that would throw them off the trail. Scotty thought that Rick would not be in any great danger until he disclosed the cat's whereabouts. But he didn't like the idea of what Rick would have to go through before then. The question was who had taken him?
"Ever since you got that mike from Barby we've seen practically nothing of you but the top of your head." Rick's mother spoke up. "I agree with Scotty, Rick. I know how anxious you are to do a good job on your project, but you've been at it for weeks now. Your eyes need a rest even if the rest of you doesn't." "Don't worry, Mom," Rick said. "After that endorsement from Dr.
Do you know she is utterly alone? Rick's wife is in her room with the child, and Rick and Jim just went down the walk together." Pliny seemed nothing loth, and the two descended to the dear little parlor where so many happy hours had been passed.
