“He’s right over there,” Jack declared as he turned to the left.
“Got away all right, did you?” Bob’s voice greeted them close at hand.
“Sure. What’s up?”
“There’s a lot up, or there soon will be if we don’t prevent it,” Bob declared in a low tone, and he told them what he had heard.
“What do you know about that?” Jack sputtered as soon as he had finished.
“It’s no more than you would expect, is it?” Bob asked.
“Guess not, but it’s pretty dirty work at that.”
“I should say so,” Rex broke in. “I didn’t suppose they did such things as that now-a-days.”
“You don’t know Big Ben Donahue,” Bob told him.
“Well, what about it? I suppose it’s up to us,” and Jack waited for Bob’s answer with an anxious mind.
