“Sure, Isabelle. Don’t you know how, after my radar set had been blown up, I looked so long for the three parts that might give our secrets away?”
“Oh yes. You found two of them, but—”
“But the third was gone. It was while I was looking for those parts that I first saw that woman in purple. She too appeared to be looking for something. I always have thought that she found that part. I am almost sure of it now. It would be terrible if she succeeded in getting all three secret parts. The Jap’s radar is a poor one, but with those secrets—”
“They’d be shooting down our planes in the fog and the dark,” said Isabelle.
“That’s what they would. Tell you what!” Gale exclaimed in a hoarse whisper. “I am going down there and demand the right to see the contents of that case!”
“Oh no!” Isabelle whispered. Her eyes were on the dagger and the automatic.
“You will not get inside the walls,” said Than Shwe. “At sundown the gates are locked. They are opened only at sunrise.”
“And there’s a day’s work waiting for each of us!” Isabelle suggested.
“Oh yes! A day’s work!” Gale murmured. “I’ll report this to the colonel or the army intelligence office first thing tomorrow.”
