I was talked out of making the trip By home bill Blakely. I watched her swing down the slope live erect and lovely a Strange girl with an air of aloneness about her an air that I felt would be with her even in the crowd Strange but also compelling exciting She might be involved or she might not I didn't know But I was sure of one thing in either case. I was going to see her again An hour later Chino Romero and I were heading back toward the city and the government chief Leaving behind us the wreck plane the crushed trees and the lonely slope on the mountain You have found the young lady of interest in your yeah, I found her of interest Always she's doing the crazy things They're never flirting with the eyes looking for danger playing the game. She calls it. She's in your playing the game Lastima It is too sad that ten persons are not be playing the game now anymore. Oh, it's all right, you know I'm not that much under a spell. Okay. They say if she's guilty in any way I'll pin it on her just as quick as the next one, but I didn't all right forget it No, I do not think she's guilty. It is not the thing she will do and she does not need the money She's very rich. Do you know that everybody says so. Well, that's what I mean. It's worth checking into Possibly, but I still do not think she will do such a thing. It is too terrible and she's too beautiful Maybe I ought to give you the advice Do you know before the beauty of a woman Seniors? We are all as brothers like Seniors Blake Blakely I See he was look very distant. Yeah, he did get a little hot under the collar. What do you know about him? Do you know almost nothing?
