“Well, how do you feel ?” she asked, going over to him.
“Lousy,” Johnny said, and forced a grin. “Thanks for fixing my arm. I guess I must have bled a lot.”
“What do you expect?” she turned to Ken. “If you want to skip, handsome, you can get away over the roof. I’ll look after this guy.”
Ken didn’t hesitate. If he could get clear and telephone Adams and tell him where Johnny was holed up, he would solve a problem that had been nagging at him ever since he and Johnny had left Willow Point.
He looked over at Johnny.
“What do you say?”
“Sure,” Johnny said. “You skip.”
“What about you?”
“There’s something I want you to do for me,” Johnny said. “Come here.”
Ken went over to him.
