The telephone begins to bleep during an
interview with Number 6.
“Number 2……………yes sir……yes sir everything’s
under control……………..no sir no problems………………assistance? No, no I can
manage…………….yes sir of course, be seeing you.”
Why
should Number 1 offer Number 2 assistance when Number 2 already has an
assistant in Number 14? I think it is clear that Number 1 must have been
watching Number 2 during the interview with Number 6. And when things began to
cut up rough for Number 6, Number 1 suddenly felt the need in intervene,
thinking that Number 2 had overstepped the mark by first threatening Number 6
with a sword and then his physical assault on the Prisoner. Number 1 might also
be interested to know how Number 2 had been able to smuggle his sword shooting
stick into The Village, wondering why Number 2 thought he needed such a weapon
in the first place?
If its assistance that is required then Number 2 should really put better trust in Number 14, after all that’s why Number 14 is there to be of assistance to Number 2. And yet how many Number 2’s have actually any placed any reliance upon their assistant? Whatever one thinks of Number 14, at least he wants to be of help, and would have been able to, had Number 2 not kept him at arms length.
