Now they got the head man and twenty of the boys in the can. Looks like we ought to take some measures, huh, Chimp?” Dominic “Chimp” Rosario, six feet, three inches of brute brawn and habitual bewilderment, frowned heavily at his small, dapper partner, indicating that a thought was struggling for a pre- carious anchorage in his mind. “Yeah, Rocky, yeah,” he agreed after an interval of in- tense concentration, “That must have been it.” “Sure that was it, you big dope,” said Rocky scornfully. “Ain’t I been tellin’? you? The point is, are we gonna just sit tight and let Dawson get away with it?” “Naw, Rocky,” Chimp agreed. ‘“But' the head man’s in the pokey, like you said. And we ain’t had no orders .. .” “Orders?” Rocky was furious. “You gotta have orders, you big cluck? Wanna be a small time punk all your life? Listen, if you figure to get some place in this racket, you gotta hit while the iron’s in the fire, see!” He put his arm around Chimp’s_ shoulder like a father forced at last to admit that Santa Claus was myth. “The head man’s in the lockup, see? None of his hot shots can help him, on account of they're in with him. So we got a} chance to do him a big favor and get ourselves in solid, like con- crete.” Chimp weighed the matter in a deep but slowly-dissipating confusion. “Sure,” Rocky resumed, ing his argument. “The g for a fayor like man’‘ll pay off that; maybe he'll even give you that bookic joint in Joisgy you} necks. | always wanted!” SPECIAL LOW-COST. RADIO STATIONS FOR SCHOOL US al; | THE KEY WEST CITIZEN By Gene Gleason “You think so, Rocky?” Rosario asked _ eagerly. Rocky nodded. “Sure, Chimp—no doubt about it.” He took a long look at the $200 wrist watch he had recently obtained from a friend going out of the jewelry business in great haste. “It’s 12:30 now; we can catch Dawson in his office about 2:30. Then we'll scram out of there and lay low in the hideout until the heat’s off.” |), pwr and Rosario had com- sh pleted their plans by the time they reached the TN offices. Both of them carried large fiber envelopes addressed to “Charles Dawson, City Desk”’—that being McGann’s idea of an effective en- tree. The elevator operator, who had learned to expect almost any- thing in the way of early-morn- ing messengers, obligingly point- ed out the direction of the city desk. : Dawson was not so gullible. Ever since the raids, he had feared some type of reprisal from the gambling mob. He and Jean were alone at their end of the office when McGann and Rosario appeared in the hallway. Daw- son, seeing them first, almost leaped from. his chair and ran toward a fire exit stairway. Rocky, recognizing his fleeing victim, shouted to Rosario as though he were a bird dog: “There he goes, Chimp! Go get him and keep him in the stair- way. Tl be right after you.” MeGann, whose calculations had not included the presence of Jean Saunders, ran tothe city Jean had begun to pick up ephone, suspecting the pur- pose of their visit. “Put down that phone, sister,” Rocky ordered, his hand grasp- ing the pistol in his coat pocket. Jean put down the phone, her hand trembling violently. Me- Gann leoked at her with undis- guised annoyance. “Wouldn't you know there’d be a dame to louse things up,” he id sourly. He motioned with 1c gun in his pocket. “Okay, sister. I ain’t leaving you here to gct the whole office on our Get going!’ “But why?” Jean demanded, ~ jen Mae 7] 4 AP NewSfeatures despite her terror. “I don’t even know what this is all about! “Well, I ain’t runnin’ any quiz-bee,” McGann said, jabbing her with the pistol muzzle. “Shut up and get going!” Jean, wanting desperately to scream, opened her mouth a lit- tle. McGann read her intention immediately. “One peep out of you, Blondie, and you get this gun over the head!” _He prodded her back with the pistol and she moved ahead of him, in a kind of terrified trance, to the stairway. On a landing two floors below, they foun Rosario and Dawson _ rolling around the floor, with Rosario on top. His long, thick arms swing- ing savagely, he pounded Daw- son’s face repeatedly with a set of brass knuckles clamped on his right fist. “Stop, stop!” Jean called out involuntarily, “Don’t, you'll kill him!” Chimp looked up in stupefied wonder. What’s_ the “A dame! Rocky?” “Don’t ask dumb questions,” McGann told him caustically. “Give that guy another wallop and put him out.” Chimp swung the brass-knuc- kled fist with crunching force against Dawson's chin. He ceased to resist, his head falling back against the floor. Suddenly the stairway was filled with the measured clang of a loud bell—the automatic sys- tem, working by photo-electric cells, which rang when anyone passed certain points on the stairway at night. “We've set off the damn fire- bell!” Rocky said, cursing. “We'll have to scram fast. Pick up that guy, Chimp and I'll bring the dame; we'll beat. it out the side door to the car.” “But—but that’s kidnapping,” protested Chimp. “If we turn this dame loose now, it’s suicide. We’re takin’ her with us; we can handle Dawson later.” He prodded Jean down the stairway while Chimp, | still grumbling bitterly, followed with Dawson slung over his shoulder.
