Johnnie
“FERENZ ROCKED TO his toes. He was wrapped in disdain. “You are being absolutely absurd. I shall speak to my friend J. Edgar Hoover about this. I shall speak to Attorney-General Biddle. I shall speak—”
“Speak to everybody,” Johnnie cried blissfully. “Speak to Mayor La Guardia and Mr. Hopkins and Eleanor Roosevelt and Senator Knox and General MacArthur and my top sergeant—” He grinned. “They won’t speak to you.”
“Ferenz Lessering.” Lefty was dubious.
“I suspected him all along,” Johnnie said sage...ly. “Any guy that has as much food stored away as Mr. Lessering couldn’t be any good. He smuggles coffee too. He said so tonight.”
“I said no such thing!” Ferenz denied. “I am a coffee importer.”
“Tell that to the Marines,” Johnnie advised. “But tonight when he came sneaking up to Rudolph’s room to get the gun he’d hidden in the bed, then I knew.”
“This man is insane!” Ferenz quivered. “I don’t believe he’s a soldier at all.”
“I am too!”MoreLess
