He knocked on the door.

"Mr. Arnold Haatz?"

"Yes."

"You are the Haatz who works for the governmentтАФyou are in Russel KinnerтАЩs office, connected with
the superintendent of prisons?"

"ThatтАЩs right."

Arnold Haatz was a placid-looking goose of a man. His skin was pink, his eyes were as pale and
pleasant as August sky. His body was thick, and his hands were small hams.

"IтАЩve got a message for you, Mr. Haatz."

"Message?"

"From Audine Million. You know her, donтАЩt you?"

"If itтАЩs Jerry MillionтАЩs sister you meanтАФyes, I know her."

"ThatтАЩs the one. SheтАЩs in a jam. She wants you to help her."

Haatz narrowed his blue eyes. "Where is she?"

The man who was made of bones and dry brown hide hesitated for a grim instant.

"SheтАЩs at a tourist camp north of town," he said.

Haatz did not answer immediately. He was puzzled. "I donтАЩt understand why she should send for me," he
said.

"I was just around handy, so she sent me."

"What is this trouble?"

"DonтАЩt know. She didnтАЩt tell me."

"Is it her brother who is in trouble?"

"I donтАЩt know."

Haatz said coldly, "I wouldnтАЩt give that brother of hers a drink of ice water if he was in hell. Jerry Million
is no good. I would rather help a snake."

"It ainтАЩt her brother."

"Jerry Million is as low as they come." Harshness was in HaatzтАЩs voice. "A man who would do what he
did should be hung."
