Yeah, and a few others who might have had a hand in the explosion aboard flight six beneficiaries of the insured on that flight What others? Ramon de Lagos whose wife died in the crash Don Serrano her brother Bill Blakely whose business partners were aboard Well, have you and Gino learned anything from them from the girl? Not yet But you said she might know who caused that explosion aboard the plane, right and she promised to talk well Yeah, a little helper Gino and I just pulled her body out of the surf down below the hotel here Yeah Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. That's truly Johnny dollar From special investigator Johnny dollar location a capulco, Mexico to the home office guarantee transport insurance company Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the flight six matter expense account final page Item 12 a dollar and 80 cents for the phone call to Mac Macklin in Mexico City I had to get Mac out of bed to tell him what had happened that Marvel Terence had been murdered That somebody had silenced the girl around whom the whole case had seemed to center since flight six had exploded in mid-air three nights Before and carried the passengers and crew to their desks Mac was shocked and offered any additional help I might need But he had no new information at his end and it was obvious now that any answers would have to be found right here in Acapulco as I hung up the phone Gino Romero came rushing in from the hotel terrace What is it you know a problem is out on the hotel grounds the police cars go to block off the road at the bottom of this Good come on Right what you a little light wouldn't hurt anything down here It's no time this way into the brushes footpath. All right, leave the way Over there is only 100 feet to the cliff The other side is the road for the hotel. I hear is the only place anybody can go Down this slope. Yeah, but there are plenty of places to hide Listen We could hear someone moving through the jungle growth a few yards away moving swiftly, but cautiously Then a sudden silence Whoever it was it also stopped him was listening for Gino and me We waited for the fugitive to move again straining our ears trying to tag the location seconds past Then a slight rustle ahead of us Gino nudged me and we still slipped quietly taught the son Get your hands up When it's not just in your dollar you seem to be quite a night out on Serrano They're not ordinarily senior these circumstances which place me in this rather awkward position are not usual ones I assure you you were up there prowling around the hotel. Why I was looking for my Unmentionable brother-in-law Ramon de Lagos. Why what made you think he'd be here? I went to his hotel He was not in his room. I knew he had not been able to see Miss Terence since she had spent the evening with you So I assumed he might be waiting for her here at her hotel and My assumption has of course been proven correct. Did you see him? No, but I heard the police discussing the murder of Miss Terence It was obviously Ramon's handy. We're still after him, huh? My feeling about Ramon is not the secret senior nor his about you. So why did you go to his hotel to kill him? Why else? Time was running out so we took down Serrano back to the hotel to the police One very important person hadn't put in an appearance She now went down to Bill Blakely's room knocked on the door then opened it with a pass key and went in Blakely wasn't there We searched the room The bed has been sleeping, sir. Yeah, yeah, I noticed But for how long that's the question It's possible he was wake up when the senorita screams before she is killed. He might have been He must have dressed his pajamas are there on the floor. I wonder If it was a quarrel of lovers the jealousy he did not like it when the seniorita will go with you tonight I don't think it's that simple, you know Let's get this bag open have a look inside Maybe we can It's not even locked He seems to have been traveling lightly there on the top singer. Yeah, I see what is it box of 38 caliber cartridges spilled open And that piece of oil cloth Get a gun packed in here No, it's gone He got up loaded a gun and left took the gun with him If it was before the scream, that's one thing But if it was afterward then what are you thinking? I think we'd better take the police with us get over to the hotel Caleta and check up on our third suspect Don Serrano could say anything I think we'd better get over there, you know and do it fast Click said room 34. That's the second door down. Let's go Johnny dollar open up watch yourself. Do you see your Blakely? Yeah, better hand over the gun Blakely You won't get a chance to use it now the police are out in the lobby Okay. All right. Thanks Roman didn't show up, huh? I wish he had that's all I was asking just one clear shot at him Are you sure he's the one who killed her sure enough. Did you see him? No, but he's the one She was scared of him dollar. She told me earlier in the afternoon before you got down here to Ocapulco Told you what she said Ramon had followed her here from Mexico City They've been acting strange She said she was glad I was staying at the same hotel that she didn't want to see him or talk to him Yeah, it figures all right. It checks with what she said to me last night If she'd only given me a little more to go on she was a real great kid dollar The greatest as far as I was concerned. Yeah, as soon as I realized what had happened I loaded my gun and came here to wait for him. I figured he'd try to get back to his room But he didn't show It's too bad. She was a real great kid and I'd have died for her. She asked me to I Loved her. She was Come on, you know Ramon had been spotted he started down at the hotel saw the police turned and ran he was armed with a pistol He fired a shot at one of the police officers and then jumped over the balustrade and disappeared into the dark curve of Caleta Beach The police cars quickly threw a cordon along the Bayfront Street and blocked off both ends of the stretch of shoreline For the moment Ramon was trapped somewhere on that beach He tipped his hand now and he was desperate and dangerous and he had a gun Gina when I went out on the beach after Not for long They'll have some more police here within a few minutes. Come on Better we wait I do not think Ramon is plan to be take a lie. I can still see that girl She know lying at the foot of the cliff I remember What is it? By the water is No, I am wrong. He's only a boat pull up on the sun. Yeah, it's a part of both I think it's better. Maybe we separate I look in the pavilion the cavanias You stay close by the water in this way. We are having between us. Good idea, Gina But you've got the rough end of it. Take care of yourself Not much cover along the shoreline here Do not move senior do not make a sound Well, Roman So you were hiding behind that boat. I have nothing to lose now senior if you make one move try to call out I will kill you. Yeah, I think you would All right, then what comes next this boat you will push it into the water But be very careful if you make any noise even by accident. I will kill you quickly now. Hurry relax, Roman You don't have a chance anyway We will see Be quiet Good now get in quickly sure Take the paddle head out across the bay and be very quiet or I will kill you all right Roman They're just wasting your time They'll have a police launch out here within 10 minutes. I do not think so. They will not Quiet quiet one more sound from that paddle that I will shoot Marvel turns Why did you kill her Roman? She made me crazy. It's so beautiful It's very much money. I thought she would be most easy Maria my wife was dead then it was you who blew up the air liner in order to kill your wife and have a clear Field to go after Marvel I will did not know I was married Maria was going to tell so you sabotaged a plane and killed her along with Ten other innocent people And what happened tonight? Did Marvel turn you down? He said she was suspicious of me and she was going to tell you about it in the morning And she said she was falling in love with you I wish you had got back into that hotel Roman I wish you'd got there before I did while Bill Blakely was still waiting for you with a loaded gun in his hand be quiet And paddle faster. We must get farther up the coast in order. What is that police launch? What did you think I told you you didn't have a chance? No, they could not get here so soon Well, I forgot to mention the fact that they'd already phone for one and then they do not know yet We are out here good You have turned his head to look back toward the launch. I took a chance and swung the battle This shot went wild and he didn't get a second drive. I caught him back at the air and he dropped like a log The police located our boat a few minutes later and hauled him over the gunnel and into the launch And that should have been the end of it, but none of us realized Ramon's insane desperation He'd only been pretending unconsciousness On board the launch he snatched a gun from one of the officers and tried to take over the boat He didn't have a chance He took a full volley of shots from three police pistols square on the chest Expense account item 13 $312 and 20 cents hotel and incidentals in Acapulco in Mexico City and Plainfair back to the States Expense account total six hundred and eight dollars and ten cents end of expense account end of report remarks I'll never see another sunset now without thinking of her somewhere out beyond it.
