"Fred Plaice is throwing you a curve, Gyp."
The instant she used my nickname, _I_ knew Anita felt that it was
important. She never did that unless we were alone and talking
seriously.
"What the devil!"
"Fred caught _another_ telepath last night, at the same time he got the
snake you just saw," Anita said. "You didn't know that, did you, Gyp?"
"Hell, no," I growled. "Does George Kelly know?"
"No," she said.
"How did you find out, Anita?"
She shrugged. "I stand pretty good with a couple of the guys in Fred's
section. One of them tipped me on the 'visor at home before I came to
work. That's how I knew to be down here, actually."
