I said quickly."Well, give my best to Miss Agnes, (bleep) her."He rang off.I signalled the Signal Corps people on the terrace.They blew shrill whistles.The MPs went into RedAlert.They rushed the closely guarded equipment away.Sirens began to scream in the streets.With very precisely executed maneuvers, they were gone.Utanc crawled out from under her bed, white-faced and shaking.She slammed and locked her doorwith extraordinary force in my face.The hotel resident doctor was giving the first bellhop an emergency transfusion in the hall.A hotel repair crew timidly came in and began to put the breakage together as best they could.
