between a friendship and love. Friends only
fulfill each-other's physical needs. Lovers fulfill all needs, and I
will be glad when I can get back with you again."
83 "There must be at least two dozen people in the room," said Sweet
Blossom. "I can't answer that the way I'd like to, and you must be
embarrassing some people there. Come home when you can. They'll let me
know when you're leaving and I'll be there to meet you."
84 "What are you doing at headquarters?" asked Bullet.
85 "I came to see someone special, and thank him for something he gave
me, but he's not here. There's a lot going on so they put me to work.
We're calling all the surrounding districts. There should be hundreds
of people coming in to help you."
86 "We need them!" agreed Bullet. "We've stumbled into something really
big."
87 "I've heard!" agreed his mate.
88 Somebody kicked Bullet's shin and he looked up to see Bay Blossom
standing over him. "I want to talk to her," she insisted.
89 Bullet looked at her, puzzled. "I've got to go," he said into the
receiver, "but my host's Secretary wants to talk to you. I'll try to
get in another call in a day or so." He handed the phone to Bay Blossom
and got up.
90 "Get lost!" she ordered. "Go take a shower! You need one!"
91 Bullet suddenly realized she was right! Many different
odors had clung to his clothes. He was also getting awfully tired. He
smiled, and headed off.
92 He got out of the shower and was just sitting down on the bed when
there was a rap on his door. "Come in!" he cried.
