- CAME THE DARK....
- ONE
- He looked at the wall clock. "About three this afternoon be okay?"
- The man spat on the garage floor. "I guess George knows how it was."
- He looked at me calmly. "Out of your system?"
- He sat very still and watched me. "You have something to work on."
- TWO
- I felt uncomfortable. "Business is bad, I guess."
- He turned back to me and said, "How do you figure on writing up Timmy?"
- THREE
- Her face showed immediate concern. "That's too bad."
- Her eyes were evasive. "No one."
- I lowered my voice. "He told me about Eloise."
- I frowned at her. "What do you mean, Ruth?"
- She watched me gravely. "Are you, Tal?"
- He leaned on his car. "You have a nice gentle snore, Howard. Soothing."
- I shrugged it off my mind and began to think about Leach again.
- FOUR
- He shook hands without enthusiasm. "An ex-student who is in trouble?"
- Mr. Leach looked up at me when I stood near his table. "Any luck?"
- She hesitated for a moment and then said, "Won't you come in a minute."
- She was very pleasant. I smiled back at her. "You got over it."
- She smiled broadly. "You haven't told me who you are."
- FIVE
- I stared at him blankly. "No."
- SIX
- Ruth, smiling, asked in a low voice, "More questions?"
- I felt again a quick, sharp pang of guilt.
- I realized the woman was calling to me in her thin voice.
- I turned and said, "What?"
- He leaned across the empty seat and said, "What's the trouble?"
- SEVEN
- I told him what Mrs. Doyle had said about how to find her.
- She stopped smiling. "What about her? You looking for her?"
- She looked at me carefully. "Do I know you?"
- EIGHT
- Her voice was blurred with sleep. "Whozit?"
- I believed her.
- I waited a moment. "Yes, it is."
- I felt uneasy. I said, "I'm not that attractive to you."
- NINE
- Ruth frowned. "He didn't seem worried about money."
- TEN
- They looked at me oddly. Peary shrugged and said, "Sure."
- He got out of the car. "I think I can get it. I'll be back in a minute."
- The woman had a harsh voice. "How do you come into this?"
- I suddenly felt very cold. "What girl?"
- ELEVEN
- TWELVE
- She answered the phone at once. "Hello?"
- At nine-thirty I tried again. She answered on the second ring. "Hello?"
- I speeded up. She was looking back. I heard a hoarse shout.
- I sensed a new wariness about her. "Just what do you mean?"
- She stared at me. Her eyes were hard. "You arranged this?"
- I followed her.
- THIRTEEN
- FOURTEEN
- A doctor came into the room. Marion stood up. "What's the score, Dan?"
- I stood up. "Where is she?"
- I moved closer to him. "I want to see her."
- He turned to the captain. "This man should be in bed."
- Marion sighed. "Have you got a bed?"
- He stared at me. His eyes were cold. "I don't think that's very bright."
- His face flushed. "Stay then, dammit. Stay! It will do you no good."
