Carson Breen, Esper Medical Doctor 2, was already awake and ready for him. As Reich’s staff analyst he slept the "nurse’s sleep" in which he remained en rapport with his patient and could only be awakened by his needs. That one scream had been enough for Breen. Now he was seated alongside the couch, elegant in embroidered gown (his job paid twenty thousand credits a year) and sharply alert (his employer was generous but demanding).
