So Jonner's suspicions were that definite. It was to be expected after the words Stein had been able to shout into the microphone. Jonner was nobody's dumbbell.
Kraag tired once more.
"That's a ridiculous idea, Jonner," he said. "I can't figure why you'd say such a thing."
"You shot Stein," said Jonner positively. "There's no use your denying it. I know you shot Stein, and I'll know it until Stein himself tells me it isn't so."
Kraag knew Jonner too well to try to keep up the pretense any longer. He tried another tack.
"Okay, so I shot Stein," he admitted. "That doesn't mean I'll shoot you. Come on in and talk it over. We can make a deal."
"If you shot Stein, why wouldn't you shoot me?" asked Jonner logically.
"There wasn't enough air for three. There is for two."
Jonner was silent for a moment.
"So that's why you did it," he said then. "Figured it pretty close, didn't you, Kraag?"
