“Like to shoot a game of pool?”
“I don’t believe so.”
Blair Windsor sat in a comfortable chair.
“Phil and Garry have gone away overnight,” he remarked.
“They have!” exclaimed Harry.
“Yes. Bert Crull suggested it. Told them they would be foolish to try to get back here. It’s raining, and it’s liable to be a bad night. They followed his suggestion. They packed up before they left.”
“Where is Crull?” asked Harry anxiously.
“He had to go downtown,” replied Blair.
Harry arose and paced the room. He was sure that a plot was brewing. With Harper and Buckman out of the way, only he and Blair remained.
Why had Crull left? To summon the man who had captured Harry on that other night?
