“Darling, where's you maidenly magnetism? Of course he'll do it. He has to. Go up there and wave your
eyelashes at him.”

Kathy swallowed her doubts.

“I'll try,” she agreed.

She was right. The pilot was stunned at the idea. “My God, there's regulations against that,” he told her.
“National and international regulations, to say nothing of company regulations.”

Kathy got down to business with him.



“DARLING, it's over,” Kathy reported to Abril. “We land at Key West. It's not a scheduled stop. You
get off there. I continue with Square.”
“I get off?”

“Yes, you. How far do you think I'd have gotten persuading him to stop to let me off, my dear?” Kathy
said sweetly.

Abril put a hand on her arm. “You really do all right, don't you? In your barracudaish way.”

The girls sat there for a while. They became sober. The grimness of the thing in which they were involved
took hold of their nerves. The terrible mystery that had surrounded them, and it was a mystery and it was
terrible, depressed them.

“Kathy,” Abril said, “I wish you luck. And I mean it.”

“Sure, Abril. Thanks and the same to you.”

“There's probably no danger,” Abril said hopefully.

“Don't kid yourself,” Kathy told her.

“You've got the dangerous part, I'm afraid.”

“I have Square to help me. Square is a one-man army.”

“Yes, he is.”

“Don't let anything happen to you, Abril. Charter a plane as soon as you get off in Key West. Head for
New York, but take an out-of-the-way course. So they can't catch you.”

Abril nodded. “Don't sound so worried, Kathy. We'll make it to New York.”

“All right,” Kathy told her. “Of course we will. I'll see you in Doc Savage's office in New York, then.”

“Doc Savages office. Right.” They shook hands gravely.
