“Why were you intending to intercept Dr. Letheny—or rather, the man whom you thought to be Dr. Letheny?”
Corole leaned forward.
“Look here, I know that Louis Letheny was in Room 18 that night!”
“I know that, too,” agreed O’Leary quietly.
She leaned back on the cushions, her eyes puzzled and her swinging rhinestone heels catching red and green lights.
“Why did you intend to intercept him?” repeated O’Leary.
“Because—Dr. Hajek felt he should know the reason for Louis’s strange actions.”
“Dr. Hajek being an interne and Dr. Letheny the head doctor,” commented O’Leary skeptically.
Corole’s eyes shot a vicious, sidelong look at the detective but she said nothing.
