“You locate him, and I will attend to his case. Now, I want you to promise not to tell Mike Quick what I have learned.”
“I will not go near Quick’s.”

They then parted, after Cook had promised to hunt for Ajeeb. Enoch lied when he claimed not to know Kidd’s address. After leaving the detective, he visited his pal.
Dick was about to leave his lodgings. In his hand he carried a small package.
“What have you there?” asked Enoch.
“You have not recovered the diamond?”
“No.”
“Then Murphy shall never enjoy it! I have here a dynamite cartridge, with which I intend to blow him and his crib up.”
