Cardona reached grimly for his hat.
“One moment,” said Blake. “Has anything new developed?”
Cardona thought quickly. He remembered that Tim Malloy had wondered that Terry Blake was in town.
Joe’s face was turned away. He assumed a calm expression, so that his face would not betray the fact that he did know something which might be of interest to Terry Blake.
“Nothing has come up,” he said quietly as he faced the secret-service man. “Why?”
“I thought some business might be more pressing than this which I suggest.”
“Nothing could be more important than that.”
Joe Cardona seized the phone and called for two detectives. They arrived promptly. The four men hurried into a police car.
“Where to?” asked Cardona.
Blake gave a destination in the Bronx.
