"How do you know?"
"I just know it."
"You mean you just hope it. Who's writing the letters? Who's threatening me?"
"No one. It's some kind of silly joke."
"A joke! That filth?"
"So it's a filthy joke; but we can't take it seriously."
"I'm taking it seriously. I want to meet the joker who's picked me out for his filthy humor. I'm going to meet him tonight."
"Jordan, please! I want to go to Mexico tonight."
"If he doesn't show up," Lennox continued grimly, "I'll drag Aimee Driscoll down to the precinct and we'll beat the truth out of her. We'll pry it out of Sam, too. There's got to be a pay-off tonight."
"Jordan!" Gabby shook his arms frantically. "I want to leave tonight. I want it more than anything else. Will you do this for me?"
