When
Number 100 goes to the gymnasium. Number 6 is having his semi weekly Kosho
practices with Number 14 formerly of ‘Hammer Into Anvil.’ 100 stands watching
for a few moments before he turns his attention to the No.6 locker, and
exchanges Number 6’s wristwatch for an identical one. Only this one isn’t
working. The idea being that upon this discovery Number 6 will need to pay a
call at the Watchmaker’s shop, thereby being unwittingly drawn into Plan
Division Q. The shiny piece of metal in the locker is a cigarette lighter, the
one once belonging to Curtis, which apparently Number 6 kept from ‘The Schizoid
Man’ episode. There is one slight problem, it’s a case of now you see it, now
you don’t. Because when Number 100 places the wristwatch in the locker the
cigarette lighter isn’t there. And yet the next moment its there again, then
after a shower, and dressing, Number 6 collects the cigarette lighter along
with his other possessions. Why Number 6 kept the lighter is a slight
puzzlement when he doesn’t smoke. Perhaps he kept as a trophy!
Be seeing you
