They went to the other end of the patio and through a gate to a kind of alleyway that led down to Fountain. They went down the alleyway and turned west on Fountain. They went into a drugstore on the corner and Kells drank a Coca-Cola while Borg called a cab.
While they were waiting for the cab Kells bought some aspirin, swallowed two tablets.
Borg said: “That’s just a habit. That junk don’t do you no good.”
Kells nodded absently.
In a little while the cab came along.
Kells and Granquist and Beery, and Borg sat in Kells’ room at the Ambassador.
“Here’s the laugh of the season...” Beery tilted his chair back against the wall. “The apartment at the Miramar was in Fenner’s name. We had the maid service cut out — none of the help ever saw you there...”
Kells finished his drink, put the glass on a table.
Beery went on like a headline: “Fenner is being sought for questioning in connection with the Woodward murder.”
Borg chuckled.
