"Good. And the Hamilton building?"
"It is surrounded. At exactly eleven my men will raid both places. It's a cinch we'll get Rap Molberg and his gang this time."
"You're certain no hint of the raid has leaked out?"
Jerome Davis laughed confidently.
"Even now my men aren't sure what's coming off. This raid can't fail, Mr. Nichols. We had a straight tip where Molberg could be found and we'll get him!"
"Then go ahead exactly as we planned," Mr. Nichols directed. "On to the Blind Pig Café!"
Jerome Davis returned to the waiting cars, relaying the detective's orders. In single file the police automobiles moved forward. They rounded a corner and bore down upon a brightly illuminated restaurant.
With a start Penny recognized it as the same place where she had met Betty Davis the previous evening.
"What a coincidence!" she thought. "How embarrassing it would be for Mr. Davis if his son should be found in there tonight!"
The appearance of the first officer in the doorway of the Blind Pig was sufficient to give warning that a raid was under way. The few persons who were dining inside made wild dashes for the doors and windows. They were quickly captured by officers stationed at all the exits. Although the room lights had been snapped out, no shots were fired.
