Johnson
should
not
have
slapped
her
.
He
had
not
hit
her
hard
,
not
even
as
hard
as
he
used
to
hit
his
wife
before
she
went
home
to
her
parents
,
and
not
nearly
as
hard
as
he
had
often
hit
prisoners
who
were
reluctant
to
talk
.
Up
to
this
time
Smith
had
shown
no
expression
at
all
and
had
said
nothing
;
he
had
simply
let
himself
be
forced
into
the
room
with
the
passive
,
futile
resistance
of
a
puppy
who
does
not
want
to
be
walked
on
a
leash
.
But
he
had
understood
nothing
of
what
was
happening
and
had
tried
to
do
nothing
at
all
.
When
he
saw
his
water
brother
struck
by
this
other
,
he
twisted
and
ducked
,
got
free
-
and
reached
in
an
odd
fashion
for
Johnson
.
Johnson
was
not
there
any
longer
.

He
was
not
anywhere
.
The
room
did
not
contain
him
.
Only
blades
of
grass
,
straightening
up
where
his
big
feet
had
been
,
showed
that
he
had
ever
been
there
.
Jill
stared
through
the
space
he
had
occupied
and
felt
that
she
might
faint
.
Berquist
closed
his
mouth
,
opened
it
again
,
said
hoarsely
,
"
What
did
you
do
with
him
?
"
He
looked
at
Jill
rather
than
Smith
.
"
Me
?
I
didn
’
t
do
anything
.
"
"
Don
’
t
give
me
that
.
What
’
s
the
trick
?
You
got
a
trap
door
or
something
?

"
Where
did
he
go
?
"
Berquist
licked
his
lips
.
"
I
don
’
t
know
.
"
He
took
a
gun
from
under
his
coat
.
’
But
don
’
t
try
any
of
your
tricks
with
me
.
You
stay
here
-
I
’
m
taking
him
along
.
"
Smith
had
relapsed
into
his
attitude
of
passive
waiting
.
Not
understanding
what
it
was
all
about
,
he
had
done
only
the
minimum
he
had
to
do
.
But
guns
he
had
seen
before
,
in
the
hands
of
men
on
Mars
,
and
the
expression
on
Jill
’
s
face
at
having
one
aimed
at
her
he
did
not
like
.
He
grokked
that
this
was
one
of
the
critical
cusps
in
the
growth
of
a
being
wherein
contemplation
must
bring
forth
right
action
in
order
to
permit
further
growth
.
He
acted
.
