"Who is that?" asked Abdul.
"Pedro," replied Harry. "An enemy. We can leave him where he is."
It required two or three minutes to force Duncan's body through the opening in the side of the house.
When Harry and Abdul had brought him to safety, the young man came to a state of semiconsciousness.
This enabled them to help Duncan walk, one supporting him on each side.
Harry left Abdul with Duncan at the side alley and hurried to the corner where he found an empty taxicab.
He returned for the others. Duncan seemed fairly well roused. But he slumped in a corner of the cab.
Harry glanced from the window as they went by Isaac Coffran's house and he blinked for a moment as he noticed the front door. It seemed to be closing. On the steps was a shadowy form that seemed to flit toward the sidewalk as they rolled along.
Harry told the driver to take them to the Metrolite Hotel. Abdul offered no objection.
