Chalker, Jack L. - Well Of Souls 02 - Plot & Excerpts
She stopped typing and looked at him. "You trying to be funny?" she asked. The two male cops flanking him didn't look amused. "No," he told her, trying to sound sincere. "Honest. Look, I crashed here in a spaceship, somewhere in a place inhabited by giant cyclopses, and then I woke up here. I don't know anything more than you do." She remained impassive, that rigid face incapable of showing emotion, but she said, "Less," cryptically, and punched something on the terminal. There was a flip-flop on the screen, and a new printout appeared, line-by-line. She nodded, looked at the two cops. "He's an Entry, all right. One of the drug addicts." "You sure," one of the cops responded. "He just looks like a Class-One nut to me." Renard felt insulted, but decided not to press the matter. "Look," the desk clerk said. "Take my word for it. Get some clothes for him from the lockup and then take him up to Lieutenant Ama's office. I'll call ahead." They reluctantly agreed, using the age-old principle of uncertainty: when you're not positive of your own position, pass the buck.
