That thought came later though. The first thing I realized was that I was locked on something, or rather we were locked on something. No slippery-slid...y evasion, no fading in and out or around. We were locked on a molecule of something."Good! Good!" Bud was screaming in my ear. "That's it! You've got it"I felt Harley's eagerness just behind and beside mine.

I was afraid he was going toforce himself on me but I saw him off right enough. I should have toldyou about that then - had him.
