"No." Tantei A said, firmly. "I'm not going back with you."

"Galaxy Police are not permitted..." Tantei Alpha began.

"I'm from the future." Tantei A whispered to the other 
operative. "These people don't really care about such things, 
but if I return with you, there's too great a chance that people 
might try to use my knowledge of things to come to their 
advantage. Good in some cases, not so good in others."

"They know you're from an advanced time." Tantei Alpha pointed 
out, keeping his voice to a whisper also. "They intend to do a 
full memory wipe."

"That'd wipe out all my abilities, too." Tantei A reminded the 
new arrival. "What use would I be to them as an operative then?"

"You're not going to be an operative." Tantei Alpha explained. 
"They're going to put you in their sanitorium. It's nothing 
personal, they just want to get a potential contaminant under 
lock and key."

"Forget it." Tantei A shook his head. "No way. I'm not going to 
be locked away like some criminal when I've done absolutely 
nothing but serve as a loyal member of the Galaxy Police."

"Tantei A and I are engaged," Ainoko pointed out.

"I'm sorry, but the engagement is off." Tantei Alpha said, as he 
fired a stun-bolt into Tantei A's chest. Tantei A slumped over 
against Tantei Alpha. A moment later, the two of them vanished.

Ainoko collapsed onto her knees, and wept.
