ACROSS the town there was no laughter, no gaiety, no camaraderie in the cab that slowly inched its way up a steep hill. The cabbie said, “Look, I got a wife and three kids. I can’t louse around with you two guys. You’re hotter than a fire engine.”

“Don’t worry. Let us off at the top of this hill.” Cranston had spotted a bill board on the crest of the rise.

Cranston got Stanton out of the cab over his shoulder in a fireman’s lift. With his one hand he reached into his pocket. He took a fifty dollar bill out of his pocket.

He dangled it in front of the cabbie’s nose. “That hundred was for the ride. This is for you to forget all about the ride!”

“I got a sudden attack of amnesia,” the cabbie said.

“And get far away from here as you can without any cops spotting us.”

“Don’t worry. From here I should be able to get back to my garage.”

The bill board was lighted in the front, but pitch black behind. Cranston took his burden into the complete darkness. There was only one thing to do. That is, there was only one thing he could do. A stomach pump would have been the thing.

Under the circumstances, all he could do was to walk Stanton back and forth… back and forth… hoping that he could exercise some of the poisonous substance out.

For the moment they were in comparative safety. There didn’t seem to be much likelihood that anyone would meander behind the bill board.

But someone did.
