And why should Pat threaten? The answer to that was apparent "She want me doesn’t to ask questions about her father But why not? What Is she trying to conceal?" That too was easily answered Of course there had been no taxi accident In Times square It was absurd to suppose that two cabs had mounted the pavetfient and killed two women almost simultaneously The Judge’s accident had been at Sixteenth street What was he doing down there —a hundred yards from Mike Kelly’s —at two In the morning?

Barry st himself "I’m not a desnapped tective" But why should Pat be afraid of Investigation?
