Cat And Mouse
“A LITTLE less than an hour later Mrs. Casey came out to tell me he was on the phone.
The owner of the Greek restaurant in Omega, he informed me, had told him that a couple of long-haired kids had bought a carton of Corinth cigarettes several days ago. “They could be the two who threw the dead sea gull on the lawn.”
“They could. Phone McClune.”
“I did. He’s sending a deputy to the restaurant with those two he’s holding to see if the owner can identify them.”
“What’s the name of the restaurant?”
...“The Athenian Café.”
“I know where it is and I know the owner. I’ll be out there as soon as I can get a guard here.”
“You’ve decided not to sit and wait?”
“I have decided this is heavy enough for both of us. You were out of town when I worked on the case of the Greek hoodlum who was murdered.”
“Chris Andropoulos? You told me about that case.”
“I’ll tell you more later. I have to phone for a guard.”
By the time the guard arrived and I had driven to Omega, the deputy and the two youths were on their way back to the sheriff’s station.MoreLess
