Following Shatner was strange. He frequently seemed uncertain about which way to go, and he muttered to himself most of the time. Beam wondered what he was thinking.
Trying to decide, Bob’s message came.

“A little more, a little more, a little more,” Bill answered, obviously very nervous.
“And then we’re out?”
Suddenly Shatner opened a door and rushed through. “This man,” he shouted, “has committed a crime, and is trying to force me to help him commit another crime!”

“Bill?” Beam called. “Do you remember me saying that you might learn what a fight to the death really means? Well, you might be about to find out.” He raised his rifle and pointed at one of the two uniformed men.
