"I'm a psi," Black said. "I can find out anything I want to know."
"Where is Standskill?"
"Paris. His first vacation in years. Going to be away quite a while."
"Will you come to my office?"
"Why?"
"I'd like to discuss a business proposition."

"This is confidential," Lawrence said.
"Something not exactly legal?" Black asked. "Big deal, eh? The Control Board again—oh, oh! You'd better see Standskill!"
Lawrence felt uneasy. "Are you—are you reading my mind?" he stammered.
