“No crime at all, Stan. You won’t even have to act as front. We’re letting you out easy; that is, the bigshot is. He just wants to be sure that you stay around, and when everything has blown over; you’ll get your bum checks back.”

Stan waited, knowing there would be more. Frack added it, coolly as ever.

“All you have to do,” he said, “is ask Helene Prendle—”

Frack’s words ended in a choke, as Stan’s hands caught the fellow’s throat. Flaying the man back and forth beside the booths, Stan grated in his ear:

“You leave Helene out of this!”

With that, he relaxed his grip. Frack sagged against a phone booth, clutching his throat to ease the pain.

His eyes glared; then, finding his voice, he panted:

“You fool! Why couldn’t you hear me through? You wouldn’t want Helene left out of it, not if you knew what we’re asking. We’re giving you the chance you’ve hoped for. We want you to marry Helene Prendle!”
