CHAPTER 8

Stone was showered and dressed and waiting nervously within fifteen minutes, and he knew it would take Tara Lee the full half hour. He decided to go down to the desk and get the directions now to save time as well as give him something to do. As he left the elevator he noticed two men starting toward the desk. They turned suddenly when they saw him and came toward him instead.

“Hi, Stone. Heard you were back. Come outside a minute, will you? We want to talk to you.” One man got on either side of him and walked him toward the exit as Stone kept looking at the guy who had spoken to him trying to make him look familiar. He hadn’t said a word, it happened so fast. Suddenly he stopped, and said, “No, if you want to talk with me, it can be right here in the lobby. He started toward a row of comfortable chairs on one side. The man who had spoken to him said, “Look, Stone, you’ve got to get out of here before the police come.”

“No, I’m not going anywhere,” said Stone as he sat down in one of the chairs. “Tar…my nurse is waiting for me and I have to tell….”

“But it’s all right, Stone.” said the man who had spoken to him, “Clem and I are trying to help you. We have to get you away from here before anyone knows you’re staying here.”

“Help me? How? Who are you anyway?”

The man suddenly sat down beside him and stared at him with his mouth open, then, “What do you mean, ‘Who am I?’ Good Lord, man, you know me. What’s wrong with you? I’m your friend.”

“Maybe I’m supposed to know you,” he said, finally resigned, “but I don’t. I have amnesia. I was in that Grayline plane crash.”

The man groaned. “That’s all we need. Oh, boy, I heard about the crash but didn’t know you were on that plane. Selina was telling everyone that you were going to France with her. I wondered why you didn’t tell me.”

“Do you mean I didn’t go to France?” Stone asked.

“Apparently not this last trip anyway, or you wouldn’t have been on the Grayline. Man, are you lucky! A lot of people died in that crash.” He stared at Stone, then added, “You really do have amnesia? You don’t know Selina? You don’t know us? Clem Rainer and Ray Chelsea?”

Stone said, excitedly, “Well at last—a connection to something. I got my last bank statement and found out I had written a check for $1200 to a Raymond Chelsea, but I had no idea who he was or why I had written him a check.”

Chelsea was still staring at him. “Well, I’ll be damned!”

He puzzled for a minute, then said, “I wonder why you were going to New York.”

“You know as much about that as I do,” he said, “but I would have thought I was going home to Colburgh except it’s not home any more. I’ve got to get back upstairs.
