“About what I expected. Well, let’s get along here. What happened?”
“You’ll learn all that in good time,” said Bob’s uncle. “Right now I’m in charge and I want to know why Tully came up to the office tonight and why he tried to look through the radio file. Speak up, Tully.”
“There isn’t much to tell,” began Tully. “I was going by and when I saw the lights on in the office I came up. Just curiosity, I guess.”
“Sure it wasn’t anything more?”
“Sure.”
“Then why did you try to look into the radio file?”
Tully shot a bitter glance at Bob for he realized that Bob was the only source of information on his activities while he was in the room.
“That was curiosity, too. You know there’s been talk around about some important papers coming over.”
Arthur Jacobs wrung his hands.
“Talk, talk, talk. Are there no secrets any more in this department?”
