Just give me the address, I said. Ill get you into protective custody, in a hotel somewhere, with room service, as soon as youre able to leave the hospital. No one will know where you are but the DA and me. I found his home number in our address book and called that. It rang three times before Marjorie answered it. Marjorie wanted to talk about the death of Arch Mix, which she had just heard about. She had some interesting theories about it, most of them involving the Palestine Liberation Organization. After we ran through those, I asked if I could speak to Ward. Something to do with good works, I said. And taxes, too, I imagine. Good works and taxes often seem to go hand in hand.

He seemed like a hell of a nice guy. I wonder whatever happened to him. Did he have many friends? Devine and Montgomery exchanged glances. He said,Maybe I should go check the place out. He might get a lead, Mason said, because you got Ruth Marvel to go in that taxicab with you when you went out the second time. The way Hamilton Burger is preparing this case, I wouldnt be too surprised if he hasnt had detectives scouting the neighborhood and then letting the taxi driver — Whats the matter? Mason asked, as he saw the expression on her face. Just one thing? Wow, youre way ahead of me. Maybe, I said, but it probably would mean a lot more to somebody else we know. The dog gave a growling, angry bark, whirled and grabbed the blade of the paddle with his teeth, hung on. Tutor nodded. What about that taxi driver? Valentine smiled.I can find out in about one minute, dude. But if you dont want my help? Mason said,Apparently it was found in a bottle that had drifted ashore and was picked up by a beachcomber who turned the thing over to Alder. Now, thatll show you something of what I have in mind. What did you leam just now, anything new?.
