"I really don't know what to do" Russ said. "They are rough custo- mers. They really intended to kill me for someone else." Then he told her the whole story. After it had been repeated, with her asking for details and descriptions, she decided that it would be best for him to stay in the room. "You can sleep on the bed" she offered, “since you are hurt, I'll doze in the chair."

He wouldn't have it, so he slept fitfully until daylight in the chair, after she had cleansed the shallow wound and bandaged it with a strip from one of her white blouses. She was awake first and had dressed again before approaching where he slept. "Russ", she called softly. “Wake up. Maybe we can get your clothes from your room now. At least, maybe I can." Getting up, Russ used the wounded arm and gasped when he discovered that it was very sore.

"It probably needs a doctor's care" Russ was told. "When we get your things, I'll drive you to my Aunt's Doctor if you wish."

"We had better see if we can get my things first" he suggested. Those guys were so determined that they could still be around the hotel."

She agreed: "I think I'll go to the lobby first and see if I see them. Describe each of them again." When he had done so, the lovely Janice, who was so very nice in addition to being pretty, eased out the door and made her way to the lobby. Minutes later she was back with a newspaper and excited. "They are still herl At least two of them are. One, the big one, is seated where he can watch the elevators. The other is the real small built one. He's at the first table in the cafe, where he can watch all

doors.

"How are we going to get you out even if we get your clothes?" She was sincerely worried. He could tell that.

"Gee Janice, I don't know. That Muggsy must be wanted awful badly for them to stay around after shooting at me. Wasn't there anything in the paper about it?”

"Not a word. I guess it happened too late for printing, if it was even reported. These hotels are close to soundproof. We have to get you out somehow. Even if we managed to get your clothes, they would recognize you. We could get a bellboy to get your things, but I would imagine that one or two of them are in the room waiting for you to come back."

"You're probably right Janice", Russ agreed. "If they stayed after one attempt to kill me, they will have every angle covered."
