Chick waited, still with ominous and doubtful mien.
They left the hotel five minutes later, however, and Murdock led the way to the waiting car.
Chick hesitated again when he saw the chauffeur and another man in the conveyance, but Murdock said quickly, in a confidential way:
“That’s only my chauffeur and one of the gang. You might do worse, Kennedy, than to join us.”
“That would hit me all right,” Chick said quickly.
“It could be arranged, I think.”
“Go on, then. I’m with you.”
Murdock introduced him to the two men—Dick Bryan and Link Magee, both in disguise.
Chick recognized both, but did not betray it. He shook hands with them, then took a seat in the tonneau, with Bryan and Murdock on either side of him, Janet riding in front, with the chauffeur.
Chick knew precisely what he was up against, and he went against it willingly.
