Of course he could have placed Morones under arrest; could still do it; but that would not solve the mystery of the two deaths and the missing 'lucene. If the choleric factor was really guilty of the crimes, it would be better to let him go his way in the hope that he would betray himself. OF COURSE HE COULD HAVE PLACED MORONES UNDER ARREST COULD STILL DO IT BUT THAT WOULD NOT SOLVE THE MYSTERY OF THE TWO DEATHS AND THE MISSING LUCINE IF THE CHOLERIC FACTOR WAS REALLY GUILTY OF THE CRIMES IT WOULD BE BETTER TO LET HIM GO HIS WAY IN THE HOPE THAT HE WOULD BETRAY HIMSELF
have burnt him down, but he was far too experienced for such an amateurish trick. Instead he ducked to evade Morones' blow. But the big man was as agile as a panther. In mid-air, so it seemed, he changed his direction of attack. The big fist swept downward, striking Olear's head a glancing blow. But the men of the Force have always been fighters, whatever their shortcomings as diplomats. Olear countered with a strong right to the body, thudding solidly, for Morones' softness did not go far below the surface. The factor whirled instantly, but not quite fast enough to bar the door. Olear was out and inside his ship in a few seconds, slamming the hatch. "Tact!" he grinned to himself, inserting the activator key. "Tact is what a fella needs." The little space flier shot aloft, until the tiny figure of the factor stopped shaking its fist and entered the residence. The post had a flier of its own, of course, but Morones was too wise to use it in pursuit. Olear considered what was best to do. IDE HIMSELF WITH RAGE O'LIE COULD HAVE BURNT HIM DOWN BUT HE WAS FAR TOO EXPERIENCED FOR SUCH AN AMATEURISH TRICK INSTEAD HE DUCKED TO EVADE MORIN'S BLOW BUT THE BIG MAN WAS AS AGILE AS A PANTHER IN MID AIR SO IT SEEMED HE CHANGED HIS DIRECTION OF ATTACK THE BIG FISTS SWEPT DOWNWARD STRIKING O'ER HIS HEAD A GLANCING BLOW BUT THE MEN OF THE FORCE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FIGHTERS WHATEVER THEIR SHORTCOMINGS AS DIPLOMATS O'ER COUNTED WITH A STRONG RIGHT TO THE BODY THUDDING SOLIDLY FROM HER OWN SOFTNESS DID NOT GO FAR BELOW THE SURFACE THE FACTOR WHIRLED INSTANTLY BUT NOT QUITE FAST ENOUGH TO BAR THE DOOR AILE WAS OUT AND INSIDE HIS SHIP IN A FEW SECONDS SLAMMING THE HATCH TACT HE GRINNED TO HIMSELF INSERTING THE ACTIVATOR KEY TACT IS WHAT A FELLOW NEEDS THE LITTLE SPACE FLIER SHOT ALOFT UNTIL THE TINY FIGURE OF THE FACTOR STOPPED SHAKING ITS FISTS AND ENTERED THE RESIDENCE THE POST HAD A FLIER OF ITS OWN OF COURSE BUT MORINES WAS TOO WISE TO USE IT IN PURSUIT EILE CONSIDERED WHAT WAS BEST TO DO
