THE CLEAN-UP By Joe Barry Chapter 30 USH walked down the hall to Pedrick’s empty office and appropriated a bottle from his wall bar. He carried it back to Prime’s office and poured drinks in spills of copy paper. They smoked for a half hour, eyes con- stantly straying to their watches. Then the phone on Prime’s desk rang. It was Robin, »* “Someone hijacked the pa- pers!” he exclaimed. “They shot the truck driver and got away with all 30,000 of the sheets!” The phone rang again. Rush reached for it. It was Smoky. “Lose something, chief?” he asked. “Yeah, thirty thousand news- papers.” “They looked like they might be yours so I followed them.” Again Rush looked at the phone. “Smoky,” he said. “Do you know where those papers are?” “Sure. I thought they might need a convoy so I followed them from the airport. They are now in a basement about three blocks from you. I’m in a cigar store corner of Eighth and Center.” “Stay right there. I’ll be there with a truck in two minutes.” tvs minutes later one truck carrying Rush and six truck drivers armed with clubs picked up Smoky at the corner of Eighth and Center. He directed them south on Eighth Street for a block and a half. The truck rolled to a stop, in the canyon formed by the rear walls of buildings on either side. Smoky led the way in single file along one of the buildings. They came to a freight door set in the wall with its bottom at bed level with the truck. “They're in there, Rush.” “Okay. Wait here.” — ———— BEAUTY M How to Pack YOUR BEAUTY KIT! Rush took a pencil flashlight front his pocket and a *g from his shoulder holster. He crept ahead to the cornet of the build- ing and turned into a narrow pas- sageway between two buildings. ntering by a window, he stood fot a moment absolutely still, listening. No sound came for five seconds. Then from below in the building somewhere a whisper of an echo of. voices. Rush slowly relaxed. Lightly he moved toward the sound of the voices. Without hesitation he flung a door open and walked into the room, his gun fanning the room in front of him, Two men, on either side of a rickety table sat dealing rubbery cards. Their faces, turned to meet Rush, were studies in arrested emotions. Rush wasted no words. “Open the freight door,” he ordered. They continued to stare at him. His finger tightened on the trig- ger and a bullet tore through the top of the table spattering cards on the floor. A nainute later the door was open and Smoky led the truck drivers into the building. They found the papers still in their original bundles stacked in a corner fifteen feet from the door. Rush looked at his watch. “It’s three forty-five. The car- riers will be ready for them in fifteen minutes. Get them to the Chronicle building fast. I want to look around here for a minute.” The truck drivers took the two men with them and left. Smoky tstayed behind with Rush. They found lights and began a search of the building. Smoky found steps to the basement and went on a side trip alone. Rush was work- ing toward the front of the build- ing when he heard Smoky call- ing. He went to the steps and} down into the basement. In a far corner behind a mammoth heat- ing plant Smokey was on one knee bent over what looked like a pile of rags. He looked over his shoulder at Rush, By BETTY CLARKE at the hotel. fifty bucks them around W. C.

He grabbed the tele- phone.

Here he is.” Roswell’s voice said, “Hello.” “This is the ex-resident of 715 Catch?” “Catch,” said Roswell. “Can you find a half dozen honest cops, at least honest-enough t it o do a job if they get paid for 9” ’ “Can do. Six but no more.” “Okay. Get them. Offer them for the night. Put “On the face of it you could use about six cops yourself. Your Mr. X might decide to dispense with your services the easiest way,” said Prime. “Let him try. It’ll save me the trouble of going after him.” Rush got up then and walked to the door. With his hand out- stretched for the knob he turned and with that same hand swept up the unfinished bottle of whis- uae he had taken from Pedrick’s ar.
