The T.I.S. agent acknowledged the introduction, sat down on the bed.
"What are you doing here, Irving?" asked Jaro. "The last time I saw
you, you were working on a smuggling case back on Earth."
"That's what I should ask you," replied the big young man, "but I don't
mind telling you Jaro, I'm investigating a report that a revolution is
about to break here on Mercury. Frankly, we didn't put much credence in
it until we learned that you'd landed."
"How did you find me?"
"Oh that," chuckled the T.I.S. agent. "We've had a man shadowing you
ever since you hit the space port."
For the first time Jaro exhibited annoyance. "First Hodes' men, then
Albert Peet's men and now the T.I.S. I knew was being tailed, but I
didn't realize I was leading a parade."
The T.I.S. agent glanced at Joan. "No offense, Miss Webb, but could I
see Mr. Moynahan alone? It won't take but a moment."
