共 45 题- SECOND VARIETY
- BY PHILIP K. DICK
- ILLUSTRATED BY EBEL
- Leone touched Eric's arm. "Here one comes."
- Scott considered. He shrugged. "All right. But be careful."
- Hendricks read the slip. "This just come?"
- Hendricks blinked. "Stop!"
- Hendricks relaxed. "I don't want it. Keep it."
- Hendricks frowned. "You're not all by yourself, are you?"
- Hendricks studied him. "How old are you?"
- Hendricks slowed down. "You've been alone six years?"
- Hendricks blinked, dazed. "But--"
- Hendricks hesitated and then shook. "Major Joseph Hendricks."
- Hendricks became alert. "The _kind_? Are there more than one kind?"
- Rudi grunted. "There is no race after man."
- Klaus grunted angrily. "That's enough. Well? What next?"
- Rudi shrugged. "Well, then we come back here."
- From the other room Tasso stirred. "Major?"
- Hendricks pushed the curtain back. "What?"
- Her eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?"
- Hendricks drew his pistol. "What is it?"
- Tasso swept the curtain aside. "Klaus! What did you do?"
- Klaus rose quickly. "I'll come up with you and give you a hand."
- He listened. There was only static. Then, still very faintly--
- His fingers tightened. "Scott! Is it you?"
- Klaus squatted down. "Is it your command?"
- Hendricks turned to Klaus. "They're all right."
- Hendricks relaxed, sagging. "Faded out. Must be radiation pools."
- Tasso came up beside him. "That proves nothing at all, Major."
- Tasso laughed. "Do you suspect me, now?"
- Tasso laughed, putting her hands in her pockets. "I suppose so."
- Klaus slithered up beside him. "Where is it?"
- Then, distantly, metallically--
- Hendricks set his jaw. "Let me talk to Leone."
- Tasso pulled back toward him. "Come on. Let's go."
- At last Tasso stopped. "We can stop here and get our breaths."
- Hendricks stared at her, dazed. "You left him back there on purpose."
- Tasso turned to Hendricks. "Now you understand why he killed Rudi."
- Hendricks shook his head. "No. There's no way that I know of."
- Hendricks concentrated. "No. No markings. No code symbol."
- Hendricks stirred. He opened his eyes. "Is it dawn? Already?"
- Hendricks glanced at her. "I'll do the piloting."
- IV--IV.
- But if Klaus wasn't the Second Variety--
- The bomb--
