“What is that?”
“That Colonel Menendez is not afraid of Bat Wing, whoever or whatever Bat Wing may be.”
“Not afraid?”
“Certainly he is not afraid, Knox. He has possibly been afraid in the past, but now he is resigned.”
“Resigned to what?”
“Resigned to death!”
“Good God, Harley, you are right!” I cried. “You are right! I saw it in his eyes as we left the library.”
Harley stopped and turned to me sharply.
“You saw this in the Colonel’s eyes?” he challenged.
“I did.”
