All you zombies 2217 Time Zone V (EST) 7 Nov. 1970-NTC- Pops Place: I was polishing a brandy snifter when the Unmarried Mother came in. I noted the time-10: 17 P. M. zone five, or eastern time, November 7th, 1970. Temporal agents always notice time and date; we must. The Unmarried Mother was a man twenty-five years old, no taller than I am, childish features and a touchy temper. I didnt like his looks - I never had - but he was a lad I was here to recruit, he was my boy. I gave him my best barkeeps smile. Maybe Im too critical. He wasnt swish; his nickname came from what he always said when some nosy type asked him his line: Im an unmarried mother. -- If he felt less than murderous he would add: at four cents a word. I write confession stories. -- If he felt nasty, he would wait for somebody to make something of it. He had a lethal style of infighting, like a female cop - reason I wanted him. Not the only one. He had a load on, and his face showed that he despised people more than usual. Silently I poured a double shot of Old Underwear and left the bottle. He drank it, poured another. I wiped the bar top. -- Hows the Unmarried Mother racket? -- His fingers tightened on the glass and he seemed about to throw it at me; I felt for the sap under the bar. In temporal manipulation you try to figure everything, but there are so many factors that you never take needless risks. I saw him relax that tiny amount they teach you to watch for in the Bureaus training school. -- Sorry, I said. -- Just asking, Hows business? Make it Hows the weather? -- file:///C|/Documents and Settings/hasi鈥/Dokumenty/Mar鈥no...einlein, Robert A/Heinlein, Robert
