"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-

just like you defended that Bund
leader, Dorstmann. . . . 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."
