He hadn't seen Tabak since the fall of the city. He had tried to find her, asking questions of everyone, but nobody seemed to know anything about her. The Caligan girl obviously was avoiding him. Jupiter swore under his breath. His fingers touched the controls. Flame rumbled suddenly in the jets, rebounded in orange billows past the blister. As soon as Jupiter was beyond Yogol's gravitational field, he switched to the inertialess stellar drive, turned the ship over to "George". He leaned back in his seat. It was good to feel the weightless buoyancy of deep space again. Someone said: "Dinner is being served in the galley, sir!" Jupiter shot out of his chair, banged his shoulder against the overhead, forgetting all about his lack of weight. He rebounded helplessly to the deck, squirmed around. "Tabak!" he gasped. The Caligan girl stood beside the ladder leading below. She was dressed in Brigg's olive-green uniform, her eyes dancing. "But I thought you'd gone away!" Her face softened. "I couldn't. It--it's too strong for me, Jupiter. I've been in Brigg's cabin all the time. I knew that was one place you'd never go." He said: "Then it was me?" his eyes slowly kindling. Tabak nodded. Jupiter shoved off from the back of the shock absorber, grabbed the girl in his arms. "You're crazy," he said, "you didn't have to stow away." "But you said you wouldn't take anybody with you when you left." The tube began to buzz angrily; the red light winked on. Jupiter stiffened. "Who's _that_?" Then Reiloc's voice sounded in the communicator. "Will you come down here and show me how to eat?" he demanded in an aggrieved voice. "My coffee is floating in a ball around the ceiling!" Tabak giggled. Jupiter couldn't believe it. He said, "Who else is aboard?" "No one. Just Reiloc and me. You're not angry, are you? He was wild to come. I never could have stayed hidden if it hadn't been for him. He brought me food and--" "You mean he knew where you were all the time?" "Yes," she said meekly. "Are you coming down?" Reiloc bellowed; "or must I starve?" "Go ahead and starve," said Jupiter, "we're busy."
