Zor Ala's dark eyes mirrored a world of emotion. "The hunter was a
magnificent physical specimen," he replied. "The Kralons have use for
such as he."
Then Zor Ala told of the sixteen human beings who had not returned from
the interviews; told him of the suspicions he had concerning the fate
of those humans at the hands of the Kralons.
Throughout the long afternoon Randall kept a check on his companions.
When Jerome Jackson, the last called, finally returned, Randall spoke
up.
"Friends," he said. "Twelve of us went to a forced interview with these
fantastic creatures of a long-dead Age. Nine of us have returned.
Missing are Blake Garnet, Charles McMahon, and his bride, Evelyn
McMahon."
