HART was seated at a desk in his factory. Hart had his jaw shoved out, and he was doing things to papers with a pencil. He was plainly visible because the entire wall of the room was windows.

"That all he’s been doing?" Johnny asked.

"Yep," said Long Tom.

"You sure?"

"Listen!" Long Tom said belligerently. "We ain’t taken an eye off him since he left Doc Savage’s headquarters!"

"I’ll be superamalgamated!" Johnny complained. "I hoped he’d lead us to Monk and Ham."

They stood there gloomily, thinking of Doc Savage and Monk and Ham, and the fate that had befallen them.

"Well, Hart hasn’t made a guilty move," Long Tom said finally.

Johnny sighed. "We might as well get him and take him with us. He said he was willing to help. As long as he’s with us, we can watch him."

"Take him with us where?" Renny demanded.

"We’re going," Johnny said, "to interview a man named Birmingham Lawn."

When Johnny, Long Tom and Renny walked in, William Henry Hart flung one hand on a handkerchief lying on his desk. Hart glared at them, a burly and belligerent young man.

He pointed at Renny and Long Tom. "Who are these guys?"

Johnny explained that Renny and Long Tom were more Doc Savage associates.

Hart then took his hand off the handkerchief, picked the handkerchief up, and disclosed a large automatic pistol under it.

"I ain’t takin’ chances," he explained. "I’ve had enough funny business to do me for a while."

Johnny said, "We hope you will join us."

"I got work to do!" Hart said.

Johnny said, "We will look for Miami Davis among other things. We thought you—"

This had an immediate effect on Hart. He put down his pencil, kicked his chair back, and picked up his gun and tucked it in the waistband of his trousers.

"Let’s go hunt bear," he said.

They left the smoke-digester-air-purifier manufacturing plant.

"We’ll start our hunt," Johnny said, "with Birmingham Lawn."

"He’s one of our bears, if you ask me," Hart said.

They reached Johnny’s old car and got in.

When the engine started, it shook the whole elderly vehicle, and when the conveyance got in motion, there was a suspicion that one or more of the wheels were square.

William Henry Hart took his gun out of his belt, and began unloading it.

"What’s the idea of that?" Johnny asked.

"I’m afraid this car will jar it off!" Hart explained unkindly.
