TWENTY-THREE

After dinner, Clint and Temple walked back to their hotel. Clint kept himself very alert. The article may not have come out yet, but they had already been shot at once. Whichever of them was the intended target, it could happen again.

If it did happen this time, there’d be two policemen right behind them who might see something.

So Clint had to remain alert without letting the two policemen know that he was aware of their presence.

“You know that target you said would be on my back?” Temple asked.

“Yes.”

“I already feel it.”

“I know what you mean,” Clint said. “I feel one on my back, too.”

“Well,” Temple said, “at least I’m not alone.”

They got to the front door of their hotel without being shot at. Clint stopped just inside the lobby.

“What is it?”

“I’m just wondering if those two are going to stay outside all night.”

“Wouldn’t be a bad idea if they did,” Temple observed. “Would it?”

“Maybe one will stay and the other will go and report our movements,” Clint said. He slapped the younger man on the back. “Get some rest. Tomorrow could be a big day. And it could be just the beginning.”

“I just hope he’s not already gone,” Temple said, “because then it’s all for nothing.”

They went up the stairs together, each to his own room.
