Neal nodded. Il suppose you should. Here

gave it to her. She dropped it into her bag
Then the floodgates opened, in hysteri
of relief and gratitude, and he thought she
was going to crack up again. You've saved

She turned and moved toward the door
Neal let her get almost to it. Then he called
to her: wait! can't do it It's all wrong"
She whirled. What do you mean?"

do the right thing. He ought to know"
Her voice took new edge How can it
hurt him if he doesn't know"
That's what I've been trying to make
myself think all week." Neal said. But it's
no 60. I'm not going to tell him behind your
back, Mary. I'd feel like a heel. doing that.
So want you to stand right there and hear

Neal pulled the phone to him and dialed
the number of Conrad Carrots apartment

heard Carrots voice say, Hello"
Il hate to do this, Doctor" Neal said
but I've got to tell you something"
WELL" Garrett asked, what is it,"
NEAL waited five seconds. Five seconds
to test Mary Young. 1t was fair test, he
reasoned. All she had to do was to stand
there five heartbeats without taking that
gun from her bag. If she passed that test,
she wasn't the same Mary Young who'd
come here week ago All he asked was five
seconds of restraint Then she could 60
untold-on, and stand at an altar with Garret.
In no event did Neal mean to speak
another word over this phone. Any sound
effects that went over it, from here on,
would be Mary's.
He glanced toward her. Her eyes were
slitted. hard. She was taking the gun from
her bag. She was Mary Young, the hurricane
tempered gun-girl again. Neal closed his
eyes as she began shooting
so you're going to rat on me. after all!''
She fired six shots at Meals head.
He felt the paper wadding sting his cheeks,
his forehead, his chin. They were making
black pits and bloody scratches there, but
nothing serious The balls, of course, he had
removed from the shells before reloading the
gun, stuffmg in paper merely to keep the
powder from spilling out.
Every shot registered over the telephone
to Garret. Mary - not Neal - was telling
Carret. As the last shot rang out, Neal, his
face, black and red, collapsed over his desk.
In moment he heard the door slam and
feet running down the hall. He sat up,
Graded the receiver, then went to basin
and washed his face
HERE was no inquiry, no hue and cry.
But Mary Young, of course. thought she'd
