“Just get in there and guard him,” Dan urged. “Don’t let him get a chance a throw.”
Dan gazed at the caretaker in sheer amazement, wondering if he were ill. Why this sudden change of heart toward the Cubs?
“Thanks for the tip about the door,” Terry said. “I’ll check up on it right away.” He started off, then paused and said awkwardly: “About that suit the trustees are threatening to bring—”
“Yes?”
“Just wanted you to know, I kinda changed my ideas about the Cubs.”
“Then you realize we had nothing to do with wrecking that building or taking the freezers?”
“I been checkin’ around,” the caretaker admitted. “Folks everywhere have a good word for the Cubs.”
“I wish you could convince the trustees they should drop their action.”
“That won’t be so easy, Dan,” Terry sighed. “Mr. Maxwell is a determined man. I’ll put in a good word though for the Cubs.”
“Thanks,” Dan said gratefully. “Thanks a lot.”
