"You are avoiding my question, young man," said the Scientist. "Who  set  this  snare? Answer me!" There was a brilliant flash of gold and blue in the sunlight, the whistle of feathers cleaving the air, the sharp _thwock!_ of fisted talons striking. The Scientist pitched forward with a surprised grunt and lay still across the trail  and the Phoenix, executing a flip in the air to check its speed, settled down beside David. YOU ARE AVOIDING MY QUESTION YOUNG MAN SAID THE SCIENTIST WHO SET THIS SNARE ANSWER ME THERE WAS A BRILLIANT FLASH OF GOLD AND BLUE IN THE SUNLIGHT THE WHISTLE OF FEATHERS CLEAVING THE AIR THE SHARP THWK OF FISTED TALON STRIKING THE SCIENTIST PITCHED FORWARD WITH A SURPRISED GRUNT AND LAY STILL ACROSS THE TRAIL AND THE PHOENIX EXECUTING A FLIP IN THE AIR TO CHECK ITS SPEED SETTLED DOWN BESIDE DAVID
 the blood rushed to his head he lost control of himself and began to struggle wildly and shout at the top of his voice. The flat dry voice of the Scientist drifted to him as if through a long tunnel. "What's all this? What are you doing here? Who set this snare?" "Get me down," David choked. "Please!" A hand seized him by the scruff of the neck. A knife flashed through the air and cut the rope. David landed on his feet, but his legs gave way and he dropped to his knees. He felt dizzy as the blood rushed away from his head again. The Scientist tilted his sun helmet back and said, "Well, well--David," in a disagreeable tone. His eyes narrowed behind the spectacles. "What is this snare doing here?" David struggled to his feet and clutched a bush for support. "Thank you for cutting me down," he said. The cold blue eyes found David's and held them in a hypnotic stare. "What is this trap doing here? Who set it?" "I--I was coming down the trail and--and--I was caught in it," David stammered.  HIS ANKLE AND HE WAS SNATCHED INTO THE AIR AS THE BLOOD RUSHED TO HIS HEAD HE LOST CONTROL OF HIMSELF AND BEGAN TO STRUGGLE WILDLY AND SHOUT AT THE TOP OF HIS VOICE THE FLAT DRY VOICE OF THE SCIENTIST DRIFTED TO HIM AS IF THROUGH A LONG TUNNEL WHAT'S ALL THIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE WHO SET THIS SNARE GET ME DOWN DAVID CHOKED PLEASE A HAND SEIZED HIM BY THE SCRUFF OF THE NECK A KNIFE FLASHED THROUGH THE AIR AND CUT THE ROPE DAVID LANDED ON HIS FEET BUT HIS LEGS GAVE WAY AND HE DROPPED TO HIS KNEES HE FELT DIZZY AS THE BLOOD RUSHED AWAY FROM HIS HEAD AGAIN THE SCIENTIST TILTED HIS SUN HELMET BACK AND SAID WELL WELL DAVID IN A DISAGREEABLE TONE HIS EYES NARROWED BEHIND THE SPECTACLES WHAT IS THIS SNARE DOING HERE DAVID STRUGGLED TO HIS FEET AND CLUTCHED A BUSH FOR SUPPORT THANK YOU FOR CUTTING ME DOWN HE SAID THE COLD BLUE EYES FOUND DAVID'S AND HELD THEM IN A HYPNOTIC STARE WHAT IS THIS TRAP DOING HERE WHO SAID IT I I WAS COMING DOWN THE TRAIL AND AND I WAS CAUGHT IN IT DAVID STAMMERED
