At the same time, both Savoli and Borrango were practical minded. They realized that The Shadow was no common adversary.
“Put him on the spot,” was Savoli’s terse command.
Mike Borrango nodded his agreement; at the same time he raised an important objection.
“Who will do it?” he asked.
“You have the men,” replied Savoli.
“There are four,” said Borrango, “Who are the best of all. Steve Cronin, Machine-gun McGinnis, and the other two — Genara and Anelmo. You saw what happened last night. Three of them failed.
“We have one other man — McGinnis. Yet he was in the car with Cronin that night when The Shadow prevented both of them from putting Clarendon on the spot. So we cannot rely upon McGinnis.
“You are right when you say that I have men. But I do not have the one man we need.”
“Find him, then!”
“Who is he? He must be equal to any one of the four who have failed. He must be better than any of them. More than that, he must have the ability to discover this Shadow — whoever he may be.”
