They can't touch me, Marty, and they can't touch you! We can elude them mentally and physically. They know they can't touch us; so they just have to tolerate us! I can read in your mind that you've stabilized. You can fit physically now. Why don't you try? Lawrence is waiting....
Black's consciousness sped back to his body. His body lifted and sped to a hospital room.
Lawrence was awake. He viewed Black's materialization with incredulity.
"The deal is closed," Black said.
"But—you—" Lawrence stammered. "Closed?"
"Yes. And, considering the shares I hold, I guess that makes me something of a psilent partner of yours!"
A brash young man, Lawrence thought. A very brash young man!
Black grinned. Thirty percent? He couldn't miss!
They shook hands.
It was a deal. Psigned, sealed and delivered!
