      CALL HIM NEMESIS

      By DONALD E. WESTLAKE

      Criminals, beware; the Scorpion is on

      your trail! Hoodlums fear his fury—and,

      for that matter, so do the cops!

      [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from

      Worlds of If Science Fiction, September 1961.

      The man with the handkerchief mask said, All right, everybody, keep tight. This is a holdup.

      There were twelve people in the bank. There was Mr. Featherhall at his desk, refusing to okay a personal check from a perfect stranger. There was the perfect stranger, an itinerant garage mechanic named Rodney (Rod) Strom, like the check said. There were Miss English and Miss Philicoff, the girls in the gilded teller cages. There was Mister Anderson, the guard, dozing by the door in his brown uniform. There was Mrs. Elizabeth Clayhorn, depositing her husband's pay check in their joint checking account, and with her was her ten-year-old son Edward (Eddie) Clayhorn, Junior. There was Charlie Casale, getting ten dollars dimes, six dollars nickels and four dollars pennies for his father in the grocery store down the street. There was Mrs. Dolly Daniels, withdrawing money from her savings account again. And there were three bank robbers.

      The three bank robbers looked like triplets. From the ground up, they all wore scuffy black shoes, baggy-kneed and unpressed khaki trousers, brown cracked-leather jackets over flannel shirts, white handkerchiefs over the lower half of their faces and gray-and-white check caps pulled low over their eyes. The eyes themselves looked dangerous.

      The man who had spoken withdrew a small but mean-looking thirty-two calibre pistol from his jacket pocket. He waved it menacingly. One of the others took the pistol away from Mister Anderson, the guard, and said to him in a low voice, Think about retirement, my friend. The third one, who carried a black satchel like a doctor's bag, walked quickly around behind the teller's counter and started filling it with money.

      It was just like the movies.

      The man who had first spoken herded the tellers, Mr. Featherhall and the customers all over against the back wall, while the second man stayed next to Mr. Anderson and the door. The third man stuffed money into the black satchel.

      The man by the door said, Hurry up.

      The man with the satchel said, One more drawer.

      The man with the gun turned to say to the man at the door, Keep your shirt on.

      That was all Miss English needed. She kicked off her shoes and ran pelting in her stocking feet for the door.

      The man by the door spread his arms out and shouted, Hey! The man with the gun swung violently back, cursing, and fired the gun. But he'd been moving too fast, and so had Miss English, and all he hit was the brass plate on Mr. Featherhall's desk.

      The man by the door caught Miss English in a bear hug. She promptly
