"Guess who I saw in the lobby, when I got back from selling war bonds.

They were in the bathroom now getting ready to go out, Louly plucking her eyebrows, Carl patting Aqua Velva on his face.

"Teddy Ritz. I forgot to tell you. He was talking to a couple of gangsters.

"Why do you think they're gangsters?" "They look like gangsters, and they weree with Teddy."

"You talk to him?"

"He looked over, but he wouldn't of recognized me in my uniform.

I'm surprised you didn't go up to him.

"If he doesn't remember me, what's the point? But listen, Teddy wasn't checking in, the two hoods were checking out. With big suitcases they wouldn't let the bellboys get their hands on. But now I didn't see Teddy. The two guys were leaving the hotel.

Carl said, You followed them.

To see if Teddy was outside. He was standing by a Packard, the high-priced one. The two guys put their grips in the trunk ... The car was delivered by a hotel valet, he's standing there waiting for a tip. Teddy and the two guys got in, one of them driving, and took off. The valet still waiting for the tip they didn't give him. I went over and asked him, 'You know where they're going?'

No beating around the bush, Carl said. The valet said Okmulgee. I gave him a quarter.
