"Well ... I suppose I'll get by, but 111 never be an Einstein."
"I'd be amazed if you were. How are you getting along otherwise?" Wong waited.
"All right, I. guess. Do you know, Mr. Wong-when I went] on leave I didn't intend to come back."
"I rather thought so. That space-marines notion was just your way of dodging around, trying to avoid your real problem."
"Oh. Say, Mr. Wong-tell me straight. Are you a regular Patrol officer, or a psychiatrist?"
Wong almost grinned. "I'm a regular Patrol officer, Matt, but I've had the special training required for this job."
"Uh, I see. What was it I was running away from?"
"I don't know. You tell me."
"I don't know where to start."
"Tell me about your leave, then. We've got all afternoon."
