A group of men slowly closed in on the two aliens.
Toryl and Sartan backed away toward the wall.
"I believe they are angry, Brother," thought Sartan.
"But why?" inquired Toryl.
"I do not know. Do you suppose the machine represented some form of religious deity?"
"Exceed-ing-ly possible," Toryl answered.
As the men came closer Okie yelled, "Just get them two crackpots! I'll plug the first man that touches that money!"
The men were diverted by Okie's warning. They didn't notice, until it was almost too late, that the two strangers were halfway out the door.
"Get after them!!" the sheriff bellowed.
