ENOUGH。

〃He's　not　going　to　talk　to　you　any　more；〃　Harry　said。　〃He's　really　mad；　Norman。〃

And　then　the　screen　printed：

I　WILL　KILL　YOU　ALL。

Norman　was　sweating；　he　wiped　his　forehead；　turned　away　from　the　words　on　the　screen。

〃I　don't　think　you　can　talk　to　this　guy；〃　Beth　said。　〃I　don't　think　you　can　reason　with　him。〃

〃You　shouldn't　have　made　him　angry；〃　Harry　said。　He　was　almost　pleading。　〃Why　did　you　make　him　angry　like　that；　Norman？〃

〃I　had　to　tell　him　the　truth。〃

＇＇282＇＇　〃But　you　were　so　mean　to　him；　and　now　he's　angry。〃

〃It　doesn't　matter；　angry　or　not；〃　Beth　said。　〃Harry　attacked　us　before；　when　he　wasn't　angry。〃

〃You　mean　Jerry；〃　Norman　said　to　her。　〃Jerry　attacked　us。〃

〃Yes；　right；　Jerry。〃

〃That's　a　hell　of　a　mistake　to　make；　Beth；〃　Harry　said。

〃You're　right；　Harry。　I'm　sorry。〃

Harry　was　looking　at　her　in　an　odd　way。　Norman　thought；　Harry　doesn't　miss　a　trick；　and　he　isn't　going　to　let　that　one　go　by。

〃I　don't　know　how　you　could　make　that　confusion；〃　Harry　said。

〃I　know。　It　was　a　slip　of　the　tongue。　It　was　stupid　of　me。〃

〃I'll　say。〃

〃I'm　sorry；〃　Beth　said。　〃Really　I　am。〃

〃Never　mind；〃　Harry　said。　〃It　doesn't　matter。〃

There　was　a　sudden　flatness　in　his　manner；　a　plete　indifference　in　his　tone。　Norman　thought：　Uh…oh。

Harry　yawned　and　stretched。　〃You　know；〃　he　said；　〃I'm　suddenly　very　tired。　I　think　I'll　take　a　nap　now。〃

And　he　went　off　to　the　bunks。

1600　HOURS

〃We　have　to　do　something；〃　Beth　said。　〃We　can't　talk　him　out　of　it。〃

〃You're　right；〃　Norman　said。　〃We　can't。〃

Beth　tapped　the　screen。　The　words　still　glowed：　I　WILL　KILL　YOU　ALL。

〃Do　you　think　he　means　it？〃
