"Well, here we are."
It was Reed's voice sure enough.
King immediately got out and ordered Bob to follow him. "You put the car up, Bill," he said, "and I'll escort our guest into the house."
So saying, he took Bob by the arm and led him forward.
"Now, step up," he ordered; and a moment later he announced, "Now we're going upstairs."
As soon as they reached the top, King led him a few steps and then said:
"Now we'll have a light and then I'll take off your blinders."
He lit a small lamp, and then, to Bob's great relief, removed the gag and blindfold. Bob looked about him and saw that he was in a small bare room containing only a cot and a small table.
"Say," he asked, "what's the meaning of all this, anyway?"
"Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies," answered King. "You'll know all about it in good time."
