"I don't need to
see any more! I know who we've got now! How could you miss seeing that
the three Starmen who completely destroyed our plans on Mars were your
passengers for three days! How could you miss it??" He was shouting
now. "They've been on the news for two weeks! How-" Zimbardo paused and
tried hard to get control of himself. "They were our prisoners! -and
now they've escaped! They're loose inside this asteroid, and we don't
know where!"
"But sir," inserted Lather when Zimbardo paused to take a breath and
clutch the air. "There aren't many places they can hide. There's not
much to the inside of the complex-only five floors."
Zimbardo turned to the ship captain. With words that smoldered, he
said, "The complex of this asteroid is far larger than you think! I
have barely begun to explore, and St. George knows more than I do!"
Back in control now, Zimbardo punched his desk communicator. "Gene! Get
a search party together and have them scour every part of the asteroid
they can find." He filled in the details about the Starmen. But he knew
that neither the miners nor the Starmen would be found. With George St.
George leading them, they could be anywhere-anywhere but where his men
would be able to search.
Mark came out of a deep sleep into a light doze.
