'They'll both live, Commander.'

'Right.' He called two of his menover. 'Get Mitchum and the others suited up. I want off this planetwithin three hours. Foreman. I'll ask you one last time. Are you sureyou want to stay here?'

'Positive. Monkley saved my lifetwice. The least I can do is keep my pal company. This is our home,now.'

'Rather you than me. We need yourbuggy to get everyone to our ship.'

'I'll come with you and drive itback.'

Three hours later, as dawn brokeon Mars, the Goliath took off. Foreman and Monkley watched the hugeship disappear over the horizon. 'Well, that was interesting, pal.'

'Oooh!'

Three days later, Foreman andMonkley were eating breakfast together.

'Shit! Monkley. Suit up.'

Ten minutes later, Foreman wasdriving the buggy up the ramp and heading to the Moonstruck. It tookanother twenty minutes to find what he was looking for.

'It only just occurred to me,Monkley. The commander was too busy arresting people to think aboutthe Marilium. Finders keepers, I say.'

'Oooh!' said Monkley.
