An hour later, sam and colette were still talking about the disc they had found when jeremy walked into the information centre. sam slipped the disc in his shirt.
'colette, i want you to go and see why this man hasn’t reported to paradise.’ jeremy gave colette a piece of paper.
but we haven't finished. the job here doesn't really need both of you,' jeremy interrupted. 'sam can finish the job on his own. go! ' colette had never taken anyone to paradise before. she had heard that it could be quite difficult if someone did not want to go and she was very nervous. she did not know what to expect when she reached mayfield's house. at the same time, she could not stop thinking about sam and the disc. why had they decided to keep the disc? had they done the right thing? colette felt worried and very alone. after a few minutes, colette arrived outside sky tower. she rang the bel for no. 54. a woman's face appeared on the video screen. colette spoke. 'ls thomas mayfield in, piease? i'm from the 25 brigade. i've come to see why mr mayfield hasn't reported to paradise." 'wait a minute, please.' colette could hear the tears in alice mayfield's voice. colette waited nervously. usually, people went straight to the paradise centres for the old when they reached the right age, but there were always some people who did not want to go and the youth brigade had to go and get them. colette could not understand why they did not want to go
to paradise. they had everything there. everything was done for them. why did they want to stay at home waiting to be dragged there? this was part of the job that very few people in the brigade liked. colette was becoming more and more anxious. this was worse than she had expected. suddenly, alice mayfield's sad face appeared on the screen again. 'all right . you can come in.' colette entered the building and got in the lift. seconds later she stepped out into mayfield's living-room. thomas walked towards her. colette spoke first. 'you haven't reported to paradise. they've been expecting you. it was your fortieth birthday last week, wasn't it? ' yes, but i'm still useful. i have a good job. i do it well. i don't want to retire and i don't want to leave my wife either. colette looked at the couple. she felt sorry for them but she knew she had to do her job. mechanically, she repeated the words she had been taught. 'i'm sorry. it's the law. you've reached the age and i've come to take you. you'll like it there. if you don't come with me now, you'll be in trouble." alice threw her arms round her husband's neck. 'please go! they'll put us all in prison. mayfield sighed resentfully. he knew that he had little choice and wearily said, 'all right, all right, i'm coming!
'l'll give you five minutes to say goodbye. as colette stood waiting she looked round the room. her eyes fell on a photograph. it was a picture of a baby. was it her? colette did not know her parents. like the others, she had been brought up in a special school from the age of two. she looked at the tearful couple and suddenly thought, what will it be like for me in a few years' time? come on! ' she said loudly, and led thomas out of the building. meanwhile, sam was at home. after hours of searching in the headquarters basement, he had finally found an old machine to play his video disc. he stood and stared at the machine. he knew that what he was going to do was forbidden. should he watch the disc or shouldn't he? should he just throw it into the nearby river and forget about finding it? sam shook himself. he turned the machine on and put the disc in. he breathed in deeply and sat down. his life was about to change..
