1. Мальчик вошел в комнату родителей пошатываясь. Он дрожал, и у него зубы стучали, как от холода. Он сказал отцу, что плохо себя чувствует. Через некоторое время его бросло в жар, он начал задыхаться и чуть не потерял сознание. Отец пощупал у него лоб тыльной стороной руки и понял, что у него высокая температура. У мальчика была температура 102 градуса (по Фаренгейту).Отец тут же позвонил и вызвал врача, а сына уложил в постель. Но тот не спал, а о чем-то напряженно думал. Он чувствовал себя подавленным.

2. Человек, за которым полицейский Кейн должен был следить, был очень богатым, поэтому он жил не в многоквартирном доме в городе, а в собственном особняке, окруженном невысоким кустарником, за городом. Это осложняло слежку, так как дом днем и ночью охранялся собаками. Кейну пришлось надеть темную ветровку и удобные макасины, которые не скрипели, чтобы не наделать шуму и не выдать себя. Он долго неподвижно простоял в засаде на коленях, когда увидел, что вскоре после полуночи к дому подъехала машина с незажженными фарами. Это была удача. Кейн подумал, что, если он сейчас добудет доказательства (evidence) против этого человека, то его можно будет засадить пожизненно в тюрьму.
