Clark interrupted, impatiently. "Alien things themselves don't bother me. But when a man turns alien…"
He gulped, appealed to Anderson. "Do you think he's dangerous?"
"Possibly," said Anderson.
"Even if he is, he can't do much to harm us," Adams told them, calmly. "That place of his is simply clogged with spy rigs."
"Any reports in yet?" asked Blackburn.
"Just generally. Nothing specific. Sutton has been taking it easy. Had a few calls. Made a few himself. Had a visitor or two."
"He knows he's being watched," said Clark. "He's putting on an act."
"There's a rumor around," said Blackburn, "that Benton challenged him."
Adams nodded. "Yes, he did. Ash tried to back out of it. That doesn't sound as if he's dangerous."
"Maybe," speculated Clark, almost hopefully, "Benton will close our case for us."
