‘Mr Dal as wanted you. I told him you’d gone home. He said he’d try your apartment.’
‘Got another car, Rico?’ Baird asked sharply. ‘We may have to go out again.’
Rico gulped.
‘There’s the Packard.’
‘Get it around the rear entrance,’ Baird said to the parking attendant. ‘We may be leaving in a hurry.’
‘Yes, sir.’
Baird caught hold of Rico’s, arm and hustled him to the rear entrance.
‘Can we trust that guy?’
‘Yes,’ Rico said. ‘Tim’s al right. He’l do anything for me.’
‘That’s swel ,’ Baird said sarcastical y. ‘Dallas fired that shot! He must have come here to see the red-head, found her missing and traced us to the waterfront. I must have been crazy to have used that damned car of yours. A blind man could identify it.’
