"Ghost" of "Haunted" Denver House Chapter 39 Trapped JOYCE MURDOCK put down the telephone and went to the hall closet She pulled out her tweed coat and a dark ureen felt hat that tipped up in the back and down in front. At the mirror the adjusted it, aware now of a feeling of excitement. She lipped on her coat, went back to the desk, and picked up the rolled photographs. Mannish in cut. the coat had a deep inner pocket and the out the pictures there, buttoning only the lower button so as not to crush them. She inspected her handbag, stopped with her hand on the doorknob to see if she had for gotten anything, and went out Kent had said he would bring the car around for her. and she found it parked between two others. She started for it opening her handbag and taking out her keys. The doors were locked and she opened the right-hand one ind pushed over behind the wheel rolling down the window ss she inserted the ignition key. When she reached over to close the door a man was standing were watcning ner. "Oh!" Her voice caught on that startled orv and for an instant her heart stopped. Fear streaked through her and her body froze. She tried to And her voice again and it failed her and there was nothing she could do except stare. Don Raeburn was standing with one hand on the car door and the other deep in his pocket His topcoat was buttoned, the col lar upturned. His hatbrim was low, and beneath it the swart, sharp-featured face was a para dox with its smiling lips and grim. metallic eyes. "I have a gun here." He was very polite about it and his voice was as she remembered it bis pronunciation studied and precise. He moved the pocket of his coat so she could see the outline of the muzzle. "Please do not make any noise. Unfinished Work CURIOUSLY, his voice brought relief to her. She began to breathe again and her heart took up Its beating. Warmth returned to her cheeks and only the thin line of her spine remained cold. He was waiting for me. she thought Down the street or be hind one of these cars. And now he's going to get in. He sat down beside her, one hand on the gun. He closed the door and sat back. "What do you want?" she asked, ashamed that her voice should sound so weak and Inane. "First" he said, "we will drive away from here, I think. I know you'll be .careful." She started the engine, worked her way out of the parking space, and with the iob of driving occu pying some of her attention she louna u possible to think again. now long naa you oeen wait ing?" T'Not long. I was trying to de cide what to do." "You're taking rather a long ehance, aren't youT With the po lice looking for you?" "One has to take chances some, times." Joyce turned downtown. The thing to do was talk and keep him talking until she knew what he intended to do. "What do you want with me?" (he said. "You told the police you saw me last night?" "Yes." "I was afraid you might" "You saw me?" "NtV hilt T know that vmii miA the Stewart girl were friends. I1 was afraid you might have been in one of those cars along the street but 1 could not wait to And out." He hesitated, continued slowly. That is unfirtunate. But for you there world be no evi dence against me. '' Joyce swallowed and tried to keep her voice steady. "Wouldn't it be better for you to try and get away alone?" "Please!" They were at an in tersection and he reached over and turned the wheel. "We have gone far enough in this direction. . . . That is better. . . : It would be easier, perhaps, but my work is not finished. "Oh," Joyce said, her heart sinking. "And until it Is I must make sure that you do not make it more difficult for me," Nazi Business VHEN Kent Murdock realized ' ' that Joyce had hung up on him a growing uneasiness began to eat away at his thoughts. He put down the telephone and reached for a cigarette, but even after he had lit it he stood there, his face somber and his eyes dark with doubt Ward Allen was running away and Joyce was going over to talk him out of it What else had she said And why did she want him thre and Fenner and Hestor? Although he could find np answer for this last, the impression per sisted that there was more to this request of hers than she had in dicated. He started along the hall, his irritation mounting. That there was some connection between her request and the mur der of Clarke and Hardacker, he had no doubt; what bothered him was that she persisted in partici pating in the investigation. Grunt, ing aloud, he wheeled and went back to the telephone. He gave his number and listened to the distant ringing. After five such rings he hung up. John Nason was pacing the floor and Hestor had seated her self again. "It was Joyce," Murdock said, and went on to tell what she had wanted. "Go to Ward Allen's apart ment?" Hestor was indignant "Why should I?" Her look and caustic reaction fanned Murdock's already smold ering irritation. "Because maybe she thinks she's got the answer to those kill ings." "Suppose she has? How does it concern me?" "You'd like to know about It wouldn't you?" Fenner asked. "Not particularly." "I think you would." Murdock said. "And 1 think you ought to come along too. Nason. "Nonsense." "No." Nason looked at him sourly and Murdock waited, re calling the things he knew about the lawyer. "You've done a lot of business for the German gov ernment in the past, Nason, haven't you? I remember before war started you straightened out some trouble for the captain of a German freighter. And later, there was some tanker that put in the harbor. Something about in- ...... 19 A I .....

Until re cently I understand you've had pretty close to unlimited credit at certain banks." Nason's eyes were veiled. "Tm afraid I don't follow you." "Ward Allen was mixed up with the Nans in Caragua. So wys Per ry Clarke. You represent the buy ers of Mrs. losado's estate when she gets it. You do business with Nazis. Could it be that the Nazis want to buy that estate? Or would that be too coincidental?"
