Chapter 12

Rick Deckard returns early from Seattle and prepares to hunt the Nexus-6 android Polokov, who has disguised himself as a scavenger but has disappeared from his apartment. Deckard is instructed to work with a Soviet observer, Sandor Kadalyi, who arrives to assist with the hunt. Meanwhile, Rachel Rosen from the Rosen Association offers Deckard help, suggesting a Nexus-6 android could better approach the escaped models, but Deckard declines.
