He nodded. “I’ll try.”
“Then there’s Brodey. I’m thinking about the little girl. We promised to find the old guy. Maybe you’d try to get a line on him.”
“I reckon he’s dead,” Davis said.
“I guess so too. They wouldn’t let him loose if he knows anything. Anyway, see what you can find out.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m going to see Tim.”
“Where’s he got to?”
“He’s looking after the Wonderly girl.”
Davis grinned. “Well, I’ll be damned. I ought to have thought of that. You watch that girl. Flaggerty wants her bad.”
“He won’t get her,” I said grimly. “Now beat it, and see what you can dig up.”
