street's lousy with a herd of cars. A Ford shoots over to the left, trying to pass another. Paul hits the Ford
and wraps himself round one of the El's pillars. There's a mess. I'm a minute or two getting out the jam.
When I do, the coupe's outa sight.
"I hop down an' telephone Rod. I tell him to get the wench when she shows up, even if they have to rope
her off the steps of the doll-shop. An' when they get her, bring her right here.
"I come up here. I figure maybe she's headed this way. I coast along by here an' then take a look in the
Park, I figure the doll-hag's been getting all the breaks an' now one's due me. I get it. I see the coupe
parked under some trees. We get the gal. She don't put up no fight at all. But we gag her an' put her in
the car. Tony rolls the coupe away an' searches it. There ain't a thing in it but the two suitcases an' they're
empty. We bring the gal here."
