The trooper looked dumbfounded at the sick man--so totally different in appearance from the Leader, then guffawed. He stepped to the cot, struck a pose with his right arm raised in salute. He carried a rubber truncheon in it. "Hail to our Leader!" he shouted, and brought his arm down smartly. The truncheon crashed into the sick man's cheek bone.

"Him? Didn't you know?" Jon pulled him to one side and whispered.
The second man's eyes widened; he grinned. "So? They don't want him to get well, eh? Well, I could use a little exercise this morning--"
"Let's get Fats," the other suggested. "He's always so very amusing with his ideas."
"Good idea." He stepped to the door and bellowed, "Hey, Fats!"
