Ihe space men were landing. On
television, that is. Their ugly square
faces, turning slowly, made my heart
thump. They almost came into the living
room of our new apartment. Aunt Ettie
was knitting right behind me and I
could smell the cake Mom was baking.
Earthmen were blasting away loud on
TV so I didn't hear the door open or any
thing until Aunt Ettie screamed, "Help!"
She sounded as if the Enemy was in the
room. They were two of them. Not space
men, but real.
There was a big man in a brown cap.
He yelled, "Shut up!" at Aunt Ettie,
pushing her back into her chair.
Before I could move, Mom came rush
ing in and dropped her cooking spoon
on the new rug. At first I guess I wasn't
afraid. It seemed like more TV. Dad
says I was brave, but kids that aren't
six yet can be pretty dumb. I knew that
Dad was out of town and I was the only
one to stop these bad men. Like a space
cadet or a Texas ranger.
Mom just stood there. The man in the
brown cap was tying Aunt Ettie's mouth
with the sweater that she'd been knitting.
The other fellow with greasy-looking
hair and a black mustache, had his eyes
fixed on me.
He pointed and Mom sat down. Then
he started over to me. But Brown Cap
yelled, "Leave the kid alone."
Was I glad! Aunt Ettie was kind of
shaking in the green chair, blinking her
eyes over the white wool.
Brown Cap said, "Where's the dough,
lady, and your jewelry?"
When Mom didn't answer, the greasy
fellow took a big step. Brown Cap stuck
out his arm and said, "You watch the
other dame but don't touch her. We ain't
gonna hurt nobody."
Then Mom said in a funny high voice,
"My purse is in that desk and my jewel
box is in the top drawer in the bedroom."
They'd better hurry, she said, or my
father would be coming home. Mom
wasn't really lying because she closed
one eye and that always meant the op
posite of what she said.
They started rummaging around and I
kept wondering what Buck Fearless
would do. I knew he wouldn't be-scared,
so I jumped up and yelled, "The Riders
are coming, you old robbers!"
Greasy gave a hop and dropped moth
er's pearls. Luckily my guns were handy
and I let him have it. But it didn't even
stop him and in a second he was reach
ing for me. I got awful mad and grabbed
his leg and punched him and kicked him.
He took hold of my shoulder. But the
boss yelled out, "Quit it, punk. I said
to leave him alone."
Then I saw Greasy sneak out his own

pistol as if he wanted me to see it be
fore he stuck it back in his pocket. And
it wasn't a Christmas present or plastic
like mine. I would have kicked him again
but Mom called "Jamie" and I knew
she meant to stop. Like on our own
shows when she was Commander and I
watched signals.
She didn't say another word. Just a
quick look. The phone, of course. I slid
over and had the receiver off to call the
police when Greasy laughed a mean
laugh. I saw the cut wire. It wouldn't
work, like the toy phone I had when I
was a three-year-old baby. Mom saw it
too and I don't think she felt very good.
I jumped up and Greasy took a step.
My mouth was open, ready to yell like
a coward deserting his ship.
But Mom called loud and quick, "Jamie
dear, go into the bathroom and play
with your ships just like yesterday."
I was surprised. I remembered dis
tinctly that yesterday she didn't let me
watch my five o'clock program because
of a shipwreck I had. The shipwreck
washed a hole between the tiles and
poured down below. The man in 7B was
awfully mad.
"Just like yesterday," Mom was say-
