SHADE LOOKED AT HER WATCH.

It was 11:48.

“I’m starved,” she said. “Let’s get some lunch. My treat.”

“Funny.”

“I’m serious,” Shade said. “There are a few things you should know before you take me in—or kill me, my choice.”

Day Five

June 13, 1952

Friday Morning

THE QUESTIONS WERE PILING UP so thick and deep that Wilde could hardly see over the top. Who was Senn-Rae’s client? That was the big one. He lit a Camel, took a long drag and blew a smoke ring at Tail, who was sitting on the edge of the desk. The cat swiped a nervous paw at it then jumped down.

The toilet in the adjacent room flushed.

Two heartbeats later, Alabama came out, in the process of pulling her zipper up.

She caught Wilde looking at her and said, “You want this up or down.”

He blew smoke.

“Up.”

“You’re going to say down sooner or later.”

He shrugged.

“I probably am.” He flicked ashes into the tray and said, “I’m going to make an appointment with Senn-Rae for some time later today. While I’m keeping her busy I want you to get into her office and find out who her client is.”

Alabama picked up Tail and sat on the edge of the desk.

“I thought you liked her.”

“I do.”

“You’re going to drive her away,” she said. “A girl needs her privacy.”

Wilde wasn’t impressed.

“Not this kind. This kind will kill her.”

“I’m just saying,” Alabama said. “The path you’re on, you may end up saving her and loosing her in one simultaneous motion.”

“Then that’s the way it will be,” he said. He told her about the notebooks on Senn-Rae’s desk. If there was information as to where she went last night or something new about who the client was, that’s where it would probably be. “The important thing is to put everything back exactly as you found it. Don’t move anything until you study it first to see how it’s laying. I still don’t know how she knew I was in there.”

“I’ll be careful.”

She held Tail in front of her face, rubbed noses and said, “Do you want to come with me? Yes? Was that a yes?”
