is well nipped before it could bud and our multiple murderess is off planet by now。〃
〃Let her go！〃 I shouted as I grabbed him by the front of the jacket and swung him free of the ground and shook him。 〃Let her go I tell you！〃
〃Would you turn her loose againthe way she is？〃 was all he answered。
Would I？ I suppose I wouldn't。 I dropped him while I was thinking about it and he straightened out the wrinkles in the front of his suit。
〃This has been a rough assignment for you；〃 he said as he started to put the flask away。 〃At times there can be a very thin line between right and wrong。 If you are emotionally involved the line is almost impossible to see。〃
〃What will happen to her？〃 I asked。
He hesitated before he answered。 〃The truthfor a change；〃 I told him。
〃All right； the truth。 No promisesbut the psych boys might be able to do something with her。 If they can find the cause of the basic aberration。 But that can be impossible to find at times。〃
〃Not in this caseI can tell them。〃
He looked surprised at that； giving me some small satisfaction。
〃In that case there might be a chance。 I'll give positive orders that everything is to be tried before they even consider anything like personality removal。 If that is done she is just another body； of which there are plenty in the galaxy。 Sentenced to death she's just another corpseof which there is an equal multitude。〃
I grabbed the flask away from him before it reached his pocket； and opened it。 〃I know you Inskipp；〃 I said as I poured。 〃You're a born recruiting sergeant。 When you lick themmake them join。〃
〃What else；〃 he said。 〃She'd make a great agent。〃
〃We'd make a great team；〃 I told him and we raised our cups。
〃Here's to crime。〃
