PAGE FOUR EVER MUD THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY, ~ NEVER MIND THE LADY - NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY (NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY BYNOPSIS: Terry Willett’e first meeting with Allaire West was in the tropics, upon which occasion she shot a man to save Terry's life. They met again in Washington, and the meeting wae a failure. But La- Marr is trying to blackmail Ray ‘West, Allaire’s father. over the tropical shooting, and Ray és trying to find Allaire, and through Puff Harrington. who chased Willett to New York. Ray has found Terry dnstead of his daughter. G Foz of the diplomatic service his way to see Terry for Ray. Chapter 29 TENSE MOMENT 'T WAS around fifteen minutes later that there was a knock on the door and the knob was rattled imperatively. Puff jumped up quick- ly, her lips forming the words: “Who is it?” “George Fox, I guess,” he said. looking at her in surprise. She skipped discreetly across to the door of the bath, touched her Ups with her forefinger in warning, and then closed the door behind her. Willett smiled slightly. Hurray for the United States Senate; he’d forgotten about that. Her action made him feel a party to backdoor intrigue. He went over and opened the room door. Fox and two other men were standing there. “Hullo, George!” he greeted. “This 1s a surprise. The Ambassador from Wayback! How are you, boy?” They grinned tensely at each other and shook hands. The other two men brushed by Willett and went into the room. They looked keenly around and suddenly one of them uttered a triumphant exclamation and picked up Puff’s cigaret case from the table. It was a thin gold thing with a smal] vanity mirror set in plati- num on the cover. Terry regarded them unfavorably. “Who are those birds, George?” Fox closed the door behind him. “They're private _ detectives. Terry. They want to ask you a few questions. Allair2 West has disap- peared, and her father has an idea you know something about it—” “And he does,” said one of the men, holding up the case. “This is no mat’s trinket. There’s been a woman here. Where is she, buddy?” “Wait a minute,” ordered Fox. He turned to Terry. “Don’t get angry, son. Allaire’s been missing two days. Have you any idea—where she is?” “Disappeared?” repeated Terry. Somethin; seemed to chase up and down his spine. “Disappeared!” The detectives were inspecting the room. One of them started for the bathroom door. Willett acted swiftly and headed the man off Puff had put him in a rotten position. “Hold on!” he said, “who asked you in?” “Oh—! So that’s where she is!” “Terry—!" It was Fox’s voice, despairing, disappointed, the voice of a man stricken. “It isn’t Allaire,” steadily. “Yeah? We'll believe it when we see her. “It isn't Allaire,” repeated Willett steadily. “I give you my word.” “Well then, what's the harm if we see who it is?” “Because,” said Willett, “it’s none of your damned business. “That don’t suit me—,” began the detective, but Fox stepped in. “I know Mr. Willett and he's a straight shooter. If he says ft isn’t Miss West—it isn’t. I'll take the re- sponsibility with Mr. West.” There was a brief discussion. Clearly, the operatives thought it their duty to make certain, but fi nally they left. “Pardon it, Terry. We're all wor- ried sick. Allaire disappeared right after you left the house the other night and Ray had an idea you knew something about it. You don't, 80 we'll have to start over again. Let’s go. You're needed.” said Willett N THE taxi Fox explained swiftly. He'd come to New York to warn Ray West that LaMarr was contem- plating blackmail. He found LaMarr had already seen him. “That business at the docks has come up. LaMarr’s threatening to release the story—” “What kind of a story?” “Hildez died of his wounds, Terry. That cLanges things. And nobody could prove why Allaire shot but} you.” “The hell he died! He pulled through. Probably back double crossing everybody right and left again.” “But, Terry—how could you know?" “I don’t get it.” “You left town. Hildez was still @irting with death then.” by David Gart he’d forgotten. They thought neva | NEVER MIND THE LADY NEVER MIND THE LADY (NEVER MIND THE LADY left town on the “Parajaibo.” “And I let the case slip past.” Fox shook his head wearily. “We can't prove LaMarr wrong and Ray hasn’t enough time to take the chance. LaMarr wants thirty thousand dol- iars right away. What I can’t figure | is why LaMarr approached me be- fore he went after Ray. That’s both- ered me, something funny about it.” Willett laughed shortly. “It’s simple. He wanted to be sure of how much you knew. You prob, ably appeared on the scene just as he was about to spring this story and he wanted to make sure nobody could call his bluff.” “Bluff!” Willett put a hand briefly on the attaché’s knee. “Let me take care of this, George. That girl saved my life and neither she nor anybody connected with her is going to suffer for it. Where | can I find this LaMarr—I’ll damn soon convince him he’s got no story. Forget him, but—about Allaire.” Fox swept a hand across his fore- head. “I haven't slept in two days. I’m so afraid she’s cracked up some where—the thought drives me crazy. She loves to drive fast, Terry, and she can’t beat that game forever. She doesn’t care about any- thing else in life. Her parents starved her for affection when she was young—.” His voice faltered a moment, then he gained control of himself and went on. “She’s often gone off by | herself in the past and turned up when’ she was ready. That’s my hope now. But it seems tied up with this demand by LaMarr—Terry, I've got to find her. I’ve got to.” Willett had never seen this com- posed, strong man flustered before: he was always so steady under fire. “Easy, George,” he said. “Easy be damned. I’m in love with that girl. You don’t know how 1} feel.” “No,” said Willett thoughtfully, “I suppose not.” ND again that haunting voice of Tommy Speede with the same despairing note a8 was even now in George Fox's tone quivered in his ears—: “You don’t know anything about those things, Willett. You're a fighter. I saw you go after a man tonight—” Fox was calm again. “You haven't told me how you happened to be in the States. They spike you down there?” “] spiked myself.” And the job?” “Still waiting.” Willett looked out of the window at the long promen- ade of lights that flashed down the avenue. “I'm going back soon.” “What's the sense? You can’t get into Propionoire. It's blocked and at war.” “I can get to the capital though, and I have plenty to do there. Have to get this contract reapproved and things under way. Need new appro- priations from the coffee company.” That was all. Fox relapsed into silence. They arrived before Ray West's town house. It was a fine grey stone building, tall and nar row; the windows on the ground floor were protected by bars. Ray's valet, a silent little Jap, let them in and they went down a long hall to a big study. The house was still and seemed pervaded with an air of desertion and stuffiness as though it hadn't been used for c long time. Allaire’s handsome father was walking slowly up and down a hearth rug, smoking a cigar. “Here be is, Ray.” said For “You've met him—Terry Willett?” Ray didn’t make a move for a moment. “My men phoned there was 4 woman with him, but you wouldn’t let them investigate. I don’t like that interference, George.” “Terry said it wasn’t Allaire.” Fox returned quietly. “And hie word's good enough for both you end me.” They looked at each other, ane then Ray's glance fell. He shook hands with Terry. “Can you help us? George sald you knew all about the facts of this Totten business.” “I know enough,” said Willet= “Where's LaMarr?” “He’s coming here soon. I'm about ready to pay him off and get rid o? that worry at least.” “You won't pay bim a nickel.” Ray looked doubtful. The front door bell pealed dis- tantly up the hall. Ray looked at his watch. “LaMarr,” he said. (Copyright. 1985. by David Garth) “Oh,” said Willett That's right. Carteret, Va.. comes back Into the picture, Monday.
