The Veiled Lady
“"Yes, two hundred dollars. With a family, you know, that-" "Who gave you the money?" "Well, I'm not sure who he was," said Orlando. "A big guy, Portuguese, I think, has a left eye that's always half-closed. He hangs out around the field now and then. I think he might be tied in with one of the shipping companies down by the harbor." "Lemos," said Sergeant Barnum, recognizing the man from the description. "That sounds like that 33 guy Lemos." "Yes, it could be," agreed the colonel. "Now, Orlando..., why did he pay you to quit the flight?" "He wanted Gabe to take it," said Orlando. "He knew if I backed out at the last minute Gabe would be the one to pilot Doctor Love and her buddy." "Why did they want Gabe to do it?" "I don't know, Colonel. I really don't know." The colonel studied the pilot's face for nearly a half minute. "Did you talk to Gabe about any of this?" "No, sir, I never saw Gabe after this guy-Lemos, is it?-aftar he paid me.
