A little later, the second jeep came in, even faster, and landed; Kellogg and van Riebeek hastened into the living hut. There wasn't anything more to see. He carried the dishes into the kitchen and washed them, and the Fuzzies went into the bedroom for their nap. He was sitting at the table in the living room when Gerd van Riebeek knocked on the open door.
Ahmed, suppose you do the bartending while I give the kids their candy." By the time Khadra had the drinks mixed and he had distributed the Extee Three to the Fuzzies, Lunt had gotten into the easy chair, and the Fuzzies were sitting on the floor in front of him, still looking him over curiously. At least the Extee Three had taken their minds off the whistles for a while.
They piled out as soon as they were off contragravity, dragging cameras after them. "Jack, there are Fuzzies all over the place up there," Rainsford began, while he was getting out. "All headed down this way; regular Volkerwanderung. We saw over fifty of them four families, and individuals and pairs. I'm sure we missed ten for every one we saw."
And he's issuing a warning that until the status of the Fuzzies is determined, anybody killing one will face charges of murder." "That's fine, Gus! Have you seen the girl or her father yet?" Brannhard snarled angrily. "The girl's in the Company hospital, in a private room. The doctors won't let anybody see her. I think Emmert's hiding the father in the Residency.
Kellogg was sitting with his face in his hands, oblivious to everything that was going on, but Leslie Coombes's well-disciplined face had broken, briefly, into a look of consternation. "By the time you and Mr. Brannhard and Marshal Fane arrived with an order of the court for the Fuzzies' recovery, they had already been taken from Science Center and were on a Navy landing craft for Xerxes.
The next night, I called Xerxes from the screen on Dr. van Riebeek's boat and reported what I'd learned about the Fuzzies.
She can probably do as well with your Fuzzies as a regular xeno-psychologist." "Well, I have worked with extraterrestrials," the woman said. "I've been on Loki and Thor and Shesha." Jack nodded. "Been on the same planets myself. Are you people coming out here?" "Oh, yes," van Riebeek said. "We'll be out by noon tomorrow.
They had a drink when Gus came in. He was delighted with the offer from Lunt. Another one who didn't expect to see Pappy Jack's Fuzzies alive again. "I'm not doing a damn thing here," Rainsford said. "I'm going back to Beta till the trial. Maybe I can pick up some ideas from George Lunt's Fuzzies. I'm damned if I'm getting away from this crap!" He gestured at the reading screen.
"I don't know what the devil's gotten into her," he said, watching the jeep vanish. "Oh, yes, I do. She's gotten the Word from On High. Kellogg hath spoken. Fuzzies are just silly little animals," he said bitterly. "You work for Kellogg, too, don't you?" "Yes. He doesn't dictate my professional opinion, though.
They say that beyond Tanai-el-Hassan the English troops go forward, and everything that they require will be brought to them by this line. 'Ah! Base camp. I see. That's a better business than fighting Fuzzies in the open. 'For this reason even the mules to up in the iron-train. 'Iron what? 'It is all covered with iron, because it is still being shot at. 'An armoured train. Better and better!
