Chapter 11

Rick is most likely scared out of his mind. Garland tells him that the police station is full of androids, including himself and Phil Resch. Phil Resch does not know yet, though. When the bone marrow results showed that Polokov was an android, and Garland was the next on Rick's list, Resch runs upstairs to get his Boneli test to use on Garland. When he's upstairs, that's when Garland spills the beans. After he comes back downstairs, things begin to happen very quickly. I was confused as to whether Garland pointed the laser tube at Resch-or if it was just his hand. Anyway, after he points whatever he points, Rick and Phil Resch hit the floor and Resch retires Garland. Resch says that he pretty much knew the whole time that Garland was an android. Rick is probably very relieved that another bounty hunter was in the room. I think that the turning point for Rick is coming soon in the novel. I predict that Rick is going to see that an android, Resch, is human-like and should be treated as a human.
