"Kenneth Robeson - Doc Savage 011 - Brand of the Werewolf" - читать интересную книгу автора (Robeson Kenneth)"You did!" Renny gulped. He had not seen Doc show any surprise, whenever it was that he had made the discovery. "That same mark was on the other door," Doc Savage said. He stepped close to the hideous smear. His eyes measured it "It's exactly the same size' too." Renny nodded. He could not tell, himself, that this mark was the same size as the other. He knew Doc Savage could judge the relative sizes within fractions of an inch. "Two men have been accompanying this girl about," Renny rumbled. "I wonder where the other one is." With a rather unpleasant jerk, the train got into motion. "We'll revive this man and the girl," Doc declared. "Then we'll hunt the other one." "Yeah!" Renny boomed. "We'll get that gink!" Outside in the passage, a man yelled shrilly. "Help! Help! They're going to kill me!" RENNY and Doc bounded to the door. They expected to see a murder scene - or at least a fight. They got a shock. The swarthy, girl-faced man stood in the corridor. He leveled an arm at Doc and Renny. "You heard them!" he bellowed. "They said they would gel me. Sabe! That means they plan to kill me!" Wilkie, the conductor, stood just behind the girl-faced man. Wilkie looked flabbergasted. "Now, now, mister," Wilkie said soothingly. "There's some mistake here." "It is no mistake!" wailed the dark man. "Look quickly! They must have killed my friends, Senor and Senorita Oveja!" Wilkie advanced. He mumbled apologetically to Doc: "1 sure don't know what this is all about." The swarthy man yelled: "I know what it's all about, senor! This bronze man is trying to kill my friends and myself." He came to the door and looked in. "Eo es terrible! It is terrible! What did I tell you? They are murderers!" Renny made big square blocks of his fists. "You'd better dry up, girl-face!" At this point, Senor Corto Oveja and his daughter showed signs of reviving. Doc splashed more water on them. They stirred about, and finally opened their eyes. Senor Oveja pointed weakly at Doc. "Seize that caballero!" he cried feebly. "It was he who attacked us." |
