 Why did the first policeman smirk at Brian’s door?
For the nineteenth time Brian Hanson strode to the door of his cell and rattled the bars. I don't care if you are—" Brian's eyes almost popped out as he saw a gloved hand reach around the guard's neck and jam a rag over his nose and mouth. Another guard was caught and silenced as he came around the end of the corridor. "Right with you," the guard snapped and ran a few steps with them before a blackjack caught up with him and he folded into a corner. The electric eye tripped a screaming alarm, but the broken key in Brian's hands opened the complicated lock in a matter of seconds.
 He saw a woman in the bedroom.
 He recognized Brian as the boss of Venus Consolidated Research Organization.  He saw a woman in the bedroom.  He was sorry for getting Brian out of the bathtub.  He saw that Brian’s towel was open and not covering his body.
