Right after lunch you go to the boss's garage and wait for me. I'll take care of your grips and camera. I'll follow on your heels." "Anybody would consider that Karlov was after me instead of Hawksley." Bernini smiled. "Miss Conover, the moment Karlov puts his hands on you the whole game goes blooey. That's the plain fact. There is death in this game.
These madmen expect to blow up the United States on May first. We are easing them along because we want the top men in our net. But if Karlov takes it into his head to get you, and succeeds, he'll have a stranglehold on the whole local service; because we'd have to make great concessions to free you." "Why wasn't I told this at the start?" "You were told, indirectly.
Still within his rights, he could use another operative to conduct the negotiations. If in the end Karlov strayed into the net the use of the service for private ends would be justified. Lord, those green stones! Well, why not? Something in the world worth a hazard. What had he in life but this second grand passion? There shot into his mind obliquely an irrelevant question.
Federal property, in that event. If ever he laid his hands upon the drums he would buy something gorgeous for Kitty. Little thoroughbred! Time for work. Without doubt Karlov had cellar exits through this warehouse or the other. The job on hand would be first to locate these exits, and then to the trap on the roof.
Liberty? You choose license. Equality? You deny it in your acts. Fraternity? You slaughter your brothers." "Be silent!" roared Karlov, wavering. But Gregor continued with a new-found hope. He saw that his jeers were wearing down the other's control. Perhaps the weak side was the political. Karlov was a fanatic. There might yet be death in those straining fingers.
Out of those dark red bits of wood some of them bearing the imprints of hobnails Cutty constructed the scene. A wave of bitter rage rolled over him. The beast! Karlov had done this thing, with poor old Gregor looking on, too weak to intervene. Not so many years ago these bits of wood, under the master's touch, had entranced the souls of thousands.
Had Cutty gone through life without looking at some woman as, last night, Two-Hawks had looked at her? All the rest of her life she would see Two-Hawks' eyes. Abysmal fool, to pit her wits against such men as Karlov! Because she had been successful to a certain extent, she had overrated her cleverness, with this tragic result... He had fiddled the soul out of her. But death! She sprang up.
"What the dickens have you been up to? My man has just telephoned me that he lost track of you in Wanamaker's." Kitty explained, delighted. "Well, well! If you can lose a man such as I set to watch you, you'll have no trouble shaking the others." "It was Karlov, Cutty." "How did you learn?" "Searched the morgue and found a half tone of him. Positively Karlov. How is the patient?"
Doubtless they had or Boris Karlov would not be in this room. "We killed him to-night, Stefani, in your rooms. We threw out the food so he would have to seek something to eat. The last of that breed, stem and branch! We are no longer the mud; we ourselves are the heels. We are conquering the world. Today Europe is ours; to-morrow, America!"
The bullet nipped the left shoulder of Hawksley's coat and shattered the laths of the partition between the attic and the servant's quarters. Under the impact of the human catapult Karlov staggered back, desperately striving to maintain his balance. He succeeded because Hawksley's senses left him in the instant he struck Karlov's knees.
