CHAPTER SIX

Robertson looked up from the radio console. ‘Chief McGarrity.’

Mitchell took the phone. ‘Mitchell? We’ve found the kidnappers’ estate wagon. Down by the Wyanee swamp.’ McGarrity sounded positively elated. ‘I’m going there personally. Tracker dogs. I’ll wait for you at the Walnut Tree crossing.’ Mitchell replaced the receiver and said to Roomer: ‘McGarrity’s got it all wrapped up. He’s found the estate wagon. Well, someone else did, but it will be made clear eventually that McGarrity did.’

‘Empty, of course. Doesn’t that old fool know that this makes it more difficult, not easier? At least we knew what transport they were using. Not any more. He didn’t mention anything about bringing along a newspaper photographer that he just sort of accidentally bumped into?’

‘Tracker dogs were all he mentioned.’

‘Did he suggest source material for the dogs to sniff at?’ Mitchell shook his head, Roomer shook his and after a few minutes Jenkins appeared. ‘Will you get Louise, please?’

Louise appeared very quickly. Roomer said: ‘We’d like an article, a piece of clothing, that the ladies used to wear a lot.’

She looked uncertain. ‘I don’t understand–’

‘Some things we can give bloodhounds to sniff so that they pick up scent.’

‘Oh.’ It required only a second’s thought. ‘Their dressing-gowns, of course.’ This with but the slightest hint of disapproval, as if the girls spent most of the day lounging about in those garments.

‘Handle as little as possible, please. Put each in a separate plastic bag.’
