 Gary at Faroq's. You might see him. I've got... Betsy, you think I'm... Don't keep quiet, you're a baby. Inside of that car, because we can't see it from here. We're sitting on the floor of the truck. All right, we've still got him in view. There, Lord Osh! Oh, what's up? A big car got between me and him. Well, that's all right. You don't want to let him see us anyhow. It's easy to see, MacLeod, that you don't know much about the tactic to wreak annoyance. No, and if it's anything to do with war, I... I don't want to know anything about it. Well, even in peace times, it comes in handy once in a while. Just like now, it's a good thing that car did come between us. That rascal up there, where Jason happens to see us, he'll throw him off the scene. I didn't see the connection. Oh, plain as the nose on your face, man. Plain as the nose. Go on, go on, go on with your story. Don't you see? We don't make any attempt to pass that big car up ahead. He won't get the idea that we're a follower. Why? You're right there, Corporal. I must admit it. Oh, good. What? The big car turned off to the right. Now I could see the man's automobile again. Very clearly. He just turned on his light. He did. Look, now he's making a turn to the right. That's the street that leads onto the highway, the main highway to Wardville. Oh, so that's where he's going, eh? What, to Wardville? How can we tell so soon? Well, it's a logical thing to suppose. Wardville's a large city, much larger than Fair Oaks. And it'd be reasonable to suppose they'd take Harold Linwell where they'd be easier lost than here. Oh, I... Hey, are we turning? Hey, Jerry, the man on the other automobile turned ahead of us. He's turning up Elm Street. Oh, I see. Want me to drive for a while, Mac? No, no. I'm doing all right so far. Well, sure. I just meant that maybe you were tired. No, not yet. I'm not. I didn't think the youngster like you could drive a car, Lee. Oh, sure, Corporal Dent. I've driven cars since I was 12 years old. Oh, what they don't allow young striplins to do nowadays wouldn't fill a postage stamp. Now, on our days, MacLeod. Well, I can. In our days, the baronies were tied to their mother's apron strings, and then dumped out onto the world without training to take care of themselves. Now, I'm in favor of the new way. I'm in favor of progress. Oh, what you used to try and argue with you. Say, Doggonnet, you turned out the lights. You want us to run into something? I turned out the lights, and for a very good reason to... Well, what is it I'd like to know? It's because at this time of the next, if that man in that automobile ahead saw a small hardware delivery truck coming out upon the highway, he'd think something was muck or queer. That's a swell idea, man. Gee, I think it is, too. Well, I don't know now. I remember one thing. Oh, mind, mind. This is another time, another place to be spilling any of your recollections. We've got a job in our hands and a mighty big one and a hard one. Oh, all right. Jay, you better come to a helpful cloud. That fellow's driving into that gasoline service station. Oh, yeah, I will. Hey, what's the matter? The man's driving into the service station, Jerry. We've been waiting till he goes on. Oh. Is he getting gas or oil? Jerry, for the love of Mike, what else would he be going into a service station for? Well, gee, he might be going to use the phone. And that's exactly what he's doing, Jerry. He's telephoning to somebody. Well, how can I tell this far away? Why, I tried to heat better than you on my cloud. I can see him get his plane his day. Well, is the station man inside with him? Yes, he is, Jerry. Yeah, he's sitting right there in his chair reading something. Well, then that's swell. What do you mean, that's swell? Don't you see, Corporal Dent? We can stop there and ask the station man where that fellow was born into. Well, I don't think we'd better do that. Why not? Well, because we might lose sight of the other car if we stop to talk. Oh, yeah. No, I think Corporal Dent's right, Jerry. Well, all right. Say, McLeod, if you thought to notice how far we've gone, there'll be mighty important factor in tracing these fellas when we tell the government man about this thing. Oh, Lord, sir, I didn't think of it up to this time, but we can watch from now on. Would you mind covering it? No, no, no, no. I'll keep the log from now on. Keep the log? Jerry, you know what he means? Like on a ship. Oh, you mean a record of how far we've gone as we passed, well, landmarks on that. Charmaboy, now let me see. 24,792 miles on this thingamabob. I guess to make we've traveled almost... Oh, there it goes again, huh? Oh, about a mile. Now let me see, yeah, Jackson service station. All right, now I'm all set. Now, why don't you drive in back to that service station, McLeod, and decide instead of turning that corner with the lights of the station full on it? Give that couple, I'll do just that. Golly, I sure hope we can find out where that man's going. I'll bet then we'll be right there where Harold is. Corporal Dan, the Mac, you're not thinking of going into a house where those men are, are you? Not a bit of it, Lee. Nope. All we want to do is to find out where that rap scallions are going, and then go back and tell the government man about it. Oh, yes, I see, but suppose they might get away in the meantime? Well, I've thought of that too, Lee. I'll get back with McLeod here in this truck. I'll ambush myself and keep watch. Yes, but you haven't got a gun or anything to protect yourself with in case they happen to see you. No, sir, nary a weeping. But Benjamin Franklin then don't need nothing like that to guard himself. No, sir, e-bob. Give me a good, cleanish shrubbery and nobody in the world could furt me out. Hey, rain in there, McLeod. What's the trouble? Why, he's turning right into that side road. Oh, I do see him in the know. We'll wait here just a half a moment and then drive on and follow him up there. That's the tactics, McLeod. You'll have to slow down on that dirt road, which it must be because there ain't no sign. Are we stopping again? No, lad. No, the other cars turned into a side road. We're waiting a minute or two to let him get ahead of it. Oh, I see. Well, gee, well, let's don't lose him. We won't, Jerry. We won't. Don't worry. Not with the eagle eye of Benjamin Franklin and Dent on him. All right, McLeod, now we can go on. Hmm. We'll see now. To this turn, it's 24794. Yep. That's what I'd recommend. Two miles from the gasoline station. Say, it's getting awfully bumpy. Are we on the dirt road now? Yep, that's where we are, lad. Say, you better take it a little easier, McLeod. I will. I look. Yep, yep, yep. I see him. What's the matter? What happened? Well, the fellas just turned off the road, Jerry. Is there another road up there where he turned? I don't know, lad. Can't quite see it. Say, you better come to a halt now, McLeod. We don't know what that critter's up to. You're a cop. All right, lads, get out. Now, wait, I'll open the back and you can get out that way. Now, don't make too much noise. Oh, Lord. What's up, McLeod? Come here quickly. Keep your voice covered, man. We don't know what's lying in ambush around the sector. He's turned on a flashlight. A flashlight? Yes, sir, I can see it. Oh, yeah. All right now. We'll keep going. Yeah. All right now. We'll keep close to this line of the bushes along the side of the road and advance slow-life onto the enemy. Now, no talking in ranks. All right now, come on. All right. I'll be right with you. Hey, he's knocking up through the clump of trees. Yeah, we can tell by his glasses. But he's knocked up for a while, lads. Yeah. There's a house with some kind of a building up there in them trees. You're absolutely right, couple. It looks like a ship. I know what that is. It's an old outbuilding on the Hazlett farm. Hazlett farm? Yes, sir, Rebob. That's what it is. This is the road that runs along the north side of Aaron Hazlett farm. I recollect now I've seen that from the back stoop of the barn house. Well then, that must be where they're keeping Harold. No doubt of it, Lee. No doubt of it. Well, now to get back to Fair Oaks and tell them government men about this. All right, all right, come on. Hey, hey, wait a minute. Hey, what's up? What's up, Jerry? Well, listen, what's to prevent those men from leaving here while we're driving back to Fair Oaks? Hey, that's right. I got absolutely correct, Jerry. Hey, I've got an idea. Yeah, what, Lee? Well, I'll crawl up to that car and take the distributor head on. Oh, no, no, no, Lee. You might not do that. It's too dangerous. Engerby hang the lads right, MacLeod. It's the only way to be sure that the rascals can't leave without walking. And you can mark my words, that bunch won't risk walking down a lonely road this time of night with a young lad wearing a Fair Oaks uniform. Well, no, I didn't think it. Oh, you're just nibbling, MacLeod. You're worse than an old feebearer with an old-born cub. Hey, Lee. Yes, sir. You're moving that, uh, that, uh, what you call it? The distributor head. Yeah, yeah. Will that keep the engine from running? Oh, you bet it will. It won't run at all. Oh, then go do it, then. Go do it. I'll go with you, Lee. Okay, come on. Oh, shall not we be afraid? It's all right, Mac. We'll be careful. Come on, Lee. We'll be standing guard. Careful of that vine there, Jerry. Okay, got it. And here's a little gully here. We'll have to be careful. It's awfully dark down there. Come on. I got hold of your coat. Okay. Now, up the other side. Oh, swell. We made it. Oh, there's the car just ahead of us. Yeah. Hey, Jerry, you stay here right behind this bush. And I'll sneak up behind the car and along the side. Whoa. Why don't I go with you? Because they're more liable to see two of us that just me alone. Well, okay. All right, here I go. Get it? You bet I got it. Come on. Careful. Here's the little gully again. Yeah. There's Corporal Dent and Mac right over there. Yeah, I see them. You believe? Ah, good work, lads. Good work. Oh, Los Ladys, I'm glad you're back safe and healthy. Now, Macleod, you take the two boys and drive back as fast as you can to Faroaks. Get that government man to bring all his forces here as quick as possible. I'll stand watch here till you get back. Gee, Corporal Dent, aren't you afraid they might see ya? Oh, what if they do? Don't make no difference. If I'm here when you get back, you'll know that they didn't see me. If I ain't here, well, I'll be on the inside of that there cabin. Now, go on, get. There ain't one minute to lose. All right, lads, come on.
