With everr lent alert he tried
to nroiect Bis perception! in rough
the darkness, and suddenly be
had the feeling that someone was
here. He listened, hearing noth
ing, then moves aside away from
the door and pressed the switch.
After that there was nothing be
could do but stare.
Smack in the middle of the
double bed lay Jack Fenner. both
pillows under his bead and his
race turned towaras me winaows.
On the bedside table was a pack
of eicarettes. a Ditcher of water.

scotch, nan iuil
"Well, now do you like that?1
MurHnrk eaid aloud.
Nothing happened. He walked
around the foot of the bed. Fen
cer's eyes were closed
"Hey." he said, and stood there
another moment or two, running
his fingers through dark hair al
ready tousled, frowning, watching
the detective with mild annoy
ance. Finally he picked up the
bottle of whisky ana uncorked it.
He held it under i enner s nose.
Fenner stirred, muttering soft.
ly. He licked his lips and opened
one eye: then ne opened both and
turned oer on his back.
Without a word he reached for
the bottle. Murdoch put it back
on the table, r enner signed loua
lv and Tinned.
"It was a swell dream," hi said.
"All about a robbery in a aistu
lerv."
"Nuts," Murdoek said. "You
were playing possum."
"Ho-hum, said Fenner, stretch
ing. "What time is Jt7
"After three."
"My. bit."
Fenner reached for a cigarette
and lit it, propping the pillows

undress and his grin went away.
A soberness came upon his face
and trouble touched his eyes for

Jack Fenner was merely here as
an overnight guest.
"What's u. Jack?"
"I guess they wanted a man
In the house. We got in little
after one and sat around."
"Who you protecting them
from?"
"The guy that killed Clarke. He
was at it arfain tonight." Fenner
hesitated and his voice was sud
denly remote. "A guy 1 knew
Nick Hardacker. Joyce and the
Stewart girl were in on it. They
had a pretty rough time what
with that and a couple of hours
with the police. When 1 came
home with them they were still
Jittery and I told 'em I'd stick
around until you came. Your wife
pushed me in here."
The Story
MURDOCK put on his robe and
sat on the edge of the bed.
trying to put down his bewilder
ment, to speak reasonably.
"What did Joyce and Delia have
to an witn ur
"Plenty."
"But how, damn It? And how
did you get mixed up In it?"
1m working for them."
Murdoek peered at him." You're
what?"
Fenner nodded. "! told your
wife you'd probably find out
about It"
"Go on."
"1 told her you'd get sore too."
"Never mind that. What were
you doing for them?"
Fenner cocked a brow at him.
"Ordinarily a client's rights have
to be protected"
"Oh, sure," Murdoek said dis
gustedly. "but this time It's okay. Joyce
knew you'd find me here, so she
said I'd better tell you the whole
thing.'
"Well, that's big of you both."

saw he wouldn't be Interrupted
he said: "The way 1 get it is this
At first as Fenner began to un
fold the story, Murdoch's reac
tion was one of resentment but
as the details began to pile up
the feeling of resentment gave
way to one of worry. He had
known, of course, that Joyce had
been anxious about Ward Allen
and Delia Stewart but be'd had
no idea thai she would actually
involve nersjlf in the investiga
tion without telling him.
Actually he had had no opin
ion on the murder at all. He had
been so busv he'd had no time
to think about it But when he
heard what bad happened that
night a feeling of alarm and dis
may came over him. Jt was im
possible now to ignore the threat
of danger to Delia and Joyce.
"This Hardacker was a private
dick?" he asked when Fenner had
finished. "Do the police know who
he was working for?"
"They will," Fenner said. They
were trying to contact the girl
that works for him when we
left."
"Was he the man who hired the
apartment across the hall from
Clarke?"
"They don't know that yet
either
"How was Bacon?"
"Burning."
Enter Joyce)
FENNER reached for the bottle
of Scotch. He poured a little in
his glass, added water. "You?" he
asked.
Murdoek shook his head. TU
get a beer in a minute," he said,
and bis face was sombre and
grooved with wrinkles at the
brow.
For some moments he sat .here
trying to recall the things that
Hestor had told him in an effort
to see how they fitted the story
he had just heard. The result was
a merry-go-round of thought and
when he found no satisfactory
answers his irritation began to
mount again.
"A fine thing," he said. "Joyce
running around getting messed up
in a murder case and not even
telling me about it."
"That's the way it goes," said
Fenner.
"Why didn't she come to me In
the first place? Why"
"Because I promised Delia I
wouldn't" Joyce said through a
crack in the door. "Can 1 come
in?"
She came io Murdoek and
kissed him. She had on a navy
blue dressing gown and her arms
were hugging themselves in front
of her so that the collar was high
about her throat. Her smoky-blue
eyes were soft with sleep and a
flush lingered in her cheeks.
"Are you angry?"
"Certainly I'm angry," Murdoek
said.
Joyce sighed. "I was afraid you
would be.
"And why not? You knew
Delia'd been at Clarke's place
when 1 came home that first
night."
"t knew It before that" Joyce
said. "She was here, telling me
about the envelope when you
phoned."
Murdoek waved his arms "la
that something? I ask you? You
hold out on me even after I'd told
you all I knew. I even told you
wnat nestor said.
I d promised Delia, Kent
"So what? Am I the bogy
man?"
'You're trying hard." Fenner
said.
Murdoek glared at him: then
looked back at Joyce and found
her eyes rebellious.
"I asked you to help," she said.
"I asked you last night But you
couldn't be bothered, could you?
You said It was none of your bus
iness and vou "
"Why didn't you tell me the
truth then? That would have been
different."
"I couldn't tell you anything."
Joyce said, "until I knew you'd
help us."
