He paused in front of her, his face showing alert interest. “How do you figure that out?”
“Uncle Mose told us Beeson comes here to the hospital for food scraps for his hogs. Brad and I figure there’s obliged to be a middleman to make the contact between the hospital and the spies from the subs.”
Chief Carter’s face was eager as he said, “Kitty, you may have picked up a missing link!”
She jumped to her feet now, and stood facing her father. “Dad, you’ve been keeping something from me, too!”
“You May Have Picked Up a Missing Link!”
“I’ll have to admit I have, Kitten. You had enough on your young shoulders without being burdened with my problems.”
