Let's get to our car the nearest police station I have to throw a half tumbler of that good whiskey in the guy's eyes Casey. Oh, well, it was worth it I'll say what happened after you made your escape from that joint last night 20 minutes later We were back at the five-spot cafe with a carload of cops have it shark yardling his gorillas were gone How you figure blood got on that key of the body of Chuck tumble was found in a vacant lot way over on the south side this morning Chuck tumble He's the character who's been trying to bust in on shark yardley's racket shark paid him off last night Trumbler was stabbed to death with his own knife Police found it sticking in his body and Trumbler lived in room 1118 to the Harwell Hotel Well, I'm not key a phone when he hardly learned that we had the key with the blood on it You would put him on the spot for Trumbler's murder and as he'd planned the murder There was to be no evidence that Trumbler had been anywhere near the five-spot cafe In fact shark yardley's alibi would be that he was at the five-spot when from boy was killed someplace else Yeah, but that key to Trumbler's hotel room found in shark's parking lot was proof Yeah, that's it and when yardley's brought to trial casey's testimony in mind about that key will send him to the chair The cops ain't caught up with the shark yet. No, but they will until they do I'd be pretty worried If I was you worried the sharks a bad baby casey This trouble ain't the first guy. He suspected of bumping off. No Cops think he got ad-clive last year with Clive's own gun like you think he carved Trumbler with Trumbler's own knife There was that gambler a couple years ago. I forget his name. Oh, uh Ernie Hastings. Yeah, and the cops could never prove nothing What I mean is shark yardley ain't gonna like having a couple of witnesses loose that can finally fry him as he deserves to be fried if they stay loose I'm not worried about the shark Be too busy dodging cops to bother and me besides we've been witnesses against his kind of rats before He's a special mean kind of rat miss Williams a special dangerous Look any it's after midnight's time.

Oh, he and his mom have got to keep themselves under cover any If it looked tomorrow morning, I'm gonna ask headquarters to put a guard on you for a while. How about you? Oh, I can take care of myself. Well, so can I wait a minute women are different. Really? I Wasn't sure you were aware of that. What do you mean? I?

I'm not now won't stand for it I could have one of your cops my elbow 24 hours a day Logan I'd feel like a sap rather feel like a dead sap who don't feel anything at all Listen the driver of that car may not have been shock yard. Oh, yes He was the driver, and I don't think this will be his last attempt to get you two are the key witnesses against him And while he's on the loose you're on the spot Okay, all right you and aside from bodyguards. I'm giving each of you a gun to give one of them to Ann I'm not looking to get around hey KC please. No, no, no, I don't like to think They're even won't shoot All right, bullhead. Now look since I must have bodyguards Give me guys. It won't be hard to take love and what do you know? I mean preferably bad pinnacle players now put Bradley in charge of your guard detail. Does he suit you? Yeah, that's okay But will he get worn out following me on assignments Hurry up Brad. Did he desk said there's a rest job? We left my car down the street here. Oh, where are we going now? City Hall Appointment of sign that takes pictures the mayor's newly appointed Park Commissioner. Hey, you get all the dirty work Who takes all the pictures of those pin-up gals I see in the papers very old press photographers Well, you've been my shadow for five days now Brad. How do you like it? I'll be glad to get back to the straight detective business. Yeah, they look, you know Logan's making saps out of both of us Shark Yardley hasn't tried anything and he won't try anything. They tried to make a hit and run mortgages out of you Yeah, I think this Williams only imagined that shark was in that car And nothing's happened since Logan's just wasting your time in the city's money Brad and that's a fact. Well, here's the old bus Get in get going. Okay Casey, huh? What's up, and I started huh? Don't touch the starter We left this car half an hour ago. It's hood was covered with snow. Yeah, most of the snow is falling off Maybe because somebody raised the hood I'm gonna see well, why would anybody raise the hood? Somebody did and put this underneath. What is it Brad? look That's your starter. I think it's a little TNT of Bomb huh? Uh-huh the old gangster gag when you started your car blui Blui, yeah No, thanks, Brad It's maybe Logan was right Okay, okay, Logan. All right. I've been the sap and you've been the wise guy. You will finally think so Don't rub it in now. Why not even after Bradley found that bomb in your car two weeks ago You gave me an argument since then 45 slugs going through your head and a knife spin thrown at you But still you argue Even with all the luck of the Irish you've got you should be dead by now My luck can't last forever. Yeah, plenty jittery right now Yeah, since this morning after you learned miss Williams and received a box of candies with the males it turned out to be poison Look if she'd been sappin up to eat one of those candies. Fortunately. She wasn't you've probably a swallot a couple We've got to stop this you know we got a nail this guy Yardley, huh? You know we've turned this town inside out trying to find him we've got to make him come to us That's a beautiful idea. Just what method will you take to wait a minute? I think I've figured a method The sharks got a big fat grudge against me Logan He's a guy who always settled his grudges in person when he could Well, I want him to have an opportunity to get into my apartment at night un molested What do you mean? I want the guard who watches my fire escape To apparently sneak away from his post every night and do a little guzzling at a bar around the corner Like him to make a special habit of doing it between 2 and 3 a.m Oh shark will be tipped off and they will call by way of the fire escape right Then what? Gonna take that gun you offer me He's the eye doubt if you shoot a guy even to save your own life I'll kill shark Yardley if I have to but You ought to save me that trouble you know crooks and killers usually follow a set pattern They stick to old habits. I don't get you. Well, I'll explain it later But right now you tell my fire escape guard to play hooky between 2 and 3 a.m. And do I get a gun? I'm always a sap for you pal All right, I'll instruct the guard and I'll give you my best gun 38 positive on a 45 No, no, I don't want a revolver. I want a rifle Rifle yeah Big caliber rifle with a silencer attached silence. Yeah And Logan look we'll have to let Bradley and the rest of my shadows in on this of course But don't let it go any further especially Don't tell Anne Williams about my plan. I'm not to tell miss William Suppose you tell me about your plan and now Okay, Brad here's the old homestead again and to go through our usual routine Yeah, well, I don't like the routine. It's become usual during the last week Casey Taking a big chance of nobody watching that fire escape between 2 and 3 in the morning I'm what but you're not used to handling gun now. I can handle a rifle looking gave me also I've had lots of experience handling crooks All I can do is hope you'll be okay Shark may show up anytime now Casey maybe tonight as soon as a better William's losing a lot of sleep. She's got nothing to worry about. She hasn't a fire escape Well, come on Brad get out of this car My apartment is usual look the joint over as usual then come back here down the street Then you turn out your lights as usual, and I'll seem to be sleeping soundly between 2 and 3 a.m What if you do fall asleep Casey? Well in that case, uh Well, I won't Who's behind that flashlight only me Shark don't forget with that gun beside your bed Yes, I won't don't Turn that table lamp on so I can see you in that gun a little better Thanks Well, you look like just the same sap who butts into things you can keep away from Now that gun of yours nice high-powered rifle that can make a big hole in a guy Why the silencer on it? Well, they Had the attachment when I got it the cops wasn't that nice Revolver I brought along as a silencer to Always like to use the other fellas weapon if he has one I'm unlucky and fall into a pinch good lawyer may convince a jury that the other fellow was Suicide you're gonna shoot me with my right. Yes, Casey After I've made sure it's loaded It is Now don't shock yellow aren't you afraid to take it put down a gun with the muscle against your head the cops will be Sure, this was a suicide. It will be if you squeeze that trigger your suicide. I mean you look to see if it was loaded It is You didn't look to see if the barrel is clear. It isn't it's been plugged So the shell of the chamber will blow up the gun. Yeah, this is a fluff.
