“Oh, no.”
He nodded in understanding. “Oh, a Communist, eh?”
Susan Self was indignant. “Daddy thinks the Communists are strictly awful, really weird.”
Steve Hackett came back into the office. He said to Larry, “I sent a couple of the boys out to pick him up.”
Susan was on her feet, a hand to mouth. “You mean my father! You're going to arrest him!”
Larry said soothingly, “Sit down, Zusanette. There's a lot of things about this that I'm sure your father can explain.” He said to Steve, “She tells me that the money belonged to a movement. A revolutionary movement which doesn't use the term revolutionary because people react unfavorably to that word. It's not Commie.”
Susan said indignantly, “It's American, not anything foreign!”
Steve growled, “Let's get back to the money. What's this movement doing with a lot of counterfeit bills and where did you find them?”
She evidently figured she'd gone too far now to take a stand. “It's not Daddy's fault,” she said. “He took me to headquarters twice.”
“Where's headquarters?” Larry said trying to keep his voice soothing.
