The Man With The Gun

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 6746

Stacy froze, vase in one hand and papers in the other. "I didn't expect to find you here," said the man. "The amnesia-inducing drug we slipped you was supposed to prevent you finding your way home or to your office for long enough to give us plenty of time to search both locations for the papers, but I see we underestimated your resourcefulness. Lucky I brought the gun just in case. And it seems to have worked out rather conveniently, since the papers in your hand are what I am after, unless I'm much mistaken.

"Now, drop the vase." Stacy did as she was told. The carpet was thick enough that it did not break. Now that he could do so without risk, the man reached across and took the papers from her other hand, keeping the gun trained on her the whole time. "Are you from Professor Smith?" asked Stacy, realising even as she asked that that did not make sense, as Professor Smith had clearly not known that she had amnesia. "No. The US military are not the only people to have got wind of your discovery. You really should have been more careful about which of your colleagues you confided in. I can't tell you who I'm working for, of course. Let's just say it's a foreign power."

"What are you going to do with me? Kill me?"

  1. "Yes."
  2. "No. Just give you another dose of the amnesia drug, so you forget today's events."
  3. "Of course not. We may need your help to fully understand your equations and how to apply them. And you WILL help us, if you ever want to regain your memory."
