They Never Looked Inside (2013)
“McDowall. Careless as ever, he had forgotten to locate the loose furniture in the crowded back room of the pawnbroker’s shop, and had kicked over a chair.
Rod cursed silently.
The entry had been easy enough. In fact, it had been effected for them by Busty, who was a kingpin on outside locks. He was one of the curious specialists who flourish on the fringe of the kingdom of crime; he was infinitely patient at “casing” a job and infinitely crafty at finding or making a way in, whether it was an o...ffice, a warehouse, or a private dwelling. Yet he never set foot in one of these premises himself. He sold his knowledge and his special skill to the best buyer. Wisely, too, he insisted on cash payment in advance.
Rod and Curly knew from Busty that the only person in the house was “that old — McDowall”; that he was a crusty customer, but could probably be relied on to sleep soundly if they didn’t start throwing furniture about; that he had no dog.
Rod, since his experience in Stumpi’s Café, had always felt nervous until he had a line of retreat mapped out.MoreLess
