Chapter 29 RUSH left the hotel by the service door at the rear. By back streets and alleys he came to the back door of the Padgett House, Robin’s hotel. There he did a bit of lock picking ef his own and entered the room lock- ing it behind him. He picked up the phone and gave the number of the. .Chronicle. He asked for Bill Prime. “Where are you?” asked the editor. “At the Padgett, where I can’t be found,” said Rush. “Has any- thing come in on me from the law?” “Where I can’t be found,” said Rush, “Has anything come in on me from the law?” “Yeah, they’ve got a general order out to pick you up on sight. The warning says that you may be armed and to shoot at the first sign of trouble.” “T’ll fix Hacker’s wagon later. I’ve got a nominee for Chief of Police who'll run him out of town.” “Anybody I know?” “No. Just an honest cop I ran into in my hotel room. Look, take notes on this, will you? I’ve got an idea for an election morning edition,” Rush said. “Shoot:” “Two column pictures of Gunn, Carver’and Hacker on the front page.

Rush grinned at him. “Have you got anything Bill can use in his first edition tomorrow morn- ing? We're blasting the lid off of this town. I want him to print everything Patrick Gunn, Mark Carver or Tom Hacker ever did that missed the straight and nar- row by even inch. What have you got?” “Tll dig in my. files,” said Ped- rick. “One y or another I eventually snd out everything that goes on this town. I’ve picked up a lot of stuff I’ve never dared to use before. Maybe I can clean out my _ on tomorrow’s first edition.” QUSDERLY the sound of a blast poured into the room. The two men looked at each other and as one man turned .and ran to the window. Two blocks away and to their right a column of smoke rose slowly into the air, lazily drifting north on a slight breeze. “Now that could: be the Chron- icle Building,” said Pedrick. He dove for the phone but it rang before he could reach it. Rush pushed past him and picked up the receiver. “Yes,” he said. . “Prime here, Rush. I’m afraid your election morning edition is out. Some one just dropped a pineapple in the press room. We won't get to press for a couple of days, I’m afraid.” “Okay, we've got to work fast. Get the pics I wanted and all the dope you were going to use. Send me mats and a masthead for a small special edition. I'll get them printed.” “But how can—” “Don’t ask questions.

Rush called Prime to send a truck to the airport. Then he left the ho- tel the way he had come and by more back streets and alleys made his way to the back door of the Chronicle. He slipped in- side without having been noticed, “Hello, fugitive,” said Prime “Did anyone see you: come in here?
