“If you knew what you were looking for, it might not be so tough.”

“Well, I can dig a little.”

“This guy Gomez seems a tough egg.”

Davis grinned. “I’ll say. You met him? Take my tip and| keep out of his way. He’s dynamite.”

“I’ve met him,” I said, shrugging. “I was with Lois when he blew in. It took my reputation and the Luger to hold him. I thought I’d have to shoot him he was so mad, but Lois grabbed him and I got out. He was the one who started the Law on the move.”

“He’s a bad guy,” Davis said, shaking his head. “He doesn’t I like anyone hanging around Lois unless it’s strictly business. One guy thought he was soft. Gomez shot him. It was fixed to look like suicide, but I know how it happened.”

“Kind of jealous, eh?”

“He certainly is, and as hot-blooded as a stove.”

“What do you know about a cat-house along the waterfront? Who owns it?”

“Speratza.”
