Frank found Sadie in the hospital and hurried her toward the ship.
"How long will the Old Man keep going?" he asked.
"A month or so, if he's careful.... I hope the Patrol stalls a bit."
"Then what?" He took a chance on patting her hand.
"We may get our chance. The Second is a dope."
"Have you made any contact with that Underground agent?"
"Not a chance. Hans has spy rays rigged up everywhere."
"Same here. Well, keep your funny chin up, Sadie.... There's your patient.... And try to get more rest; you look peaked."
They found Hans walking blindly in a circle, gave him a sedative and helped him back to his room. Then they parted silently with a quick handclasp.
