"SHE'S NOT THE ONE I'M WORRIED

ABOUT!"

With visible effort, Chumley composed himself.

M.Y.T.H. INC. LINK 41

"Skeeve ... let me try to explain. Little sister is a
wonderful person, and I truly love and admire her, but
she has a tendency to ... overreact under pressure. Mum
always said it was her competitive reaction to having an
older brother who could tear things apart without trying,
but some of the people she's worked with tend to simply
describe it as a mean streak. In a nutshell, though,
Tananda has a bigger flair for wanton destruction than I
do ... or anyone else I've ever met. Now, if this job
you're describing calls for finesse ..."

He broke off and shook his head.

"No," he said with a ring of finality to his voice.
"There's no other way to handle it. I'll just have to catch
up with her and try to keep her from getting too out of
hand. Which dimension did you say she was headed for
again?"

The direct question finally snapped me out of the mind-
freeze his explanation had put me in.

"Really, Chumley. Aren't you exaggerating just .a
little? I mean, how much trouble could she cause?"

The troll sighed.

"Ever hear of a dimension called Rinasp?"

"Can't say that I have."

"That's because there's no one there anymore. That's
the last place little sister went on a collection job."

"I've got the name of the dimension here somewhere!"
I said, diving into my paperwork with newfound desper-
ation.

Chumley's Tale

DASH IT ALL TO BLAZES anyway! You'd think by
now that Skeeve would have the sense to look a bit before
