I tried it. My tongue was thick, but it would move. “Yes.”
I was soon revived. I sat up, with Dr. Frank vigorously rubbing me.
“I’m all right.” I told them what had happened.
Captain Carter said abruptly, “Yes, we know that. And it was Miko also who killed Anita Prince. She told us before she died.”
“Died!...” I leaped to my feet. “She ... died....”
“Yes, Gregg. An hour ago, Miko got into her stateroom and tried to force his love on her. She repulsed him––he killed her.”
It struck me blank. And then with a rush came the thought, “He says Miko killed her....”
I heard myself stammering, “Why––why we must get him!” I gathered my wits; a surge of hate swept me; a wild desire for vengeance.
“Why, by God, where is he? Why don’t you go get him? I’ll get him––I’ll kill him, I tell you!”
“Easy, Gregg!” Dr. Frank gripped me.
