2200–VI–24 April 1963—Cleveland–Apex Bldg.:
I had cut the time rather fine—temporal accuracy
depends on span, except on return to zero. If I had it right, Jane was discovering, out in the park this balmy
spring night, that she wasn’t quite as nice a girl as she had thought. I grabbed a taxi to the home of those
skinflints, had the hackie wait around a comer while I lurked in shadows.
Presently I spotted them down the street, arms around each other. He took her up on the porch and made a
long job of kissing her good–night—longer than I thought. Then she went in and he came down the walk,
turned away. I slid into step and hooked an arm in his. “That’s all, son,” I announced quietly. “I’m back to
pick you up.”
“You!” He gasped and caught his breath.
“Me. Now you know who he is—and after you think it over you’ll know who you are… and if you think hard
enough, you’ll figure out who the baby is… and who I am.”
He didn’t answer, he was badly shaken. It’s a shock to have it proved to you that you can’t resist seducing
yourself. I took him to the Apex Building and we jumped again.
