Nick and Sam, the cook were sitting on the floor. * the time's up,and they stuffed a tower in their mouth. George cooked the ham and eggs. Put a * roller of bread and put the sandwish in a brown paper bag. The man paid for this food and left.
"This smart boy can do everything", Mac said, "he can even cook, you would make a girl a nice wife, smart boy. "
"Your friend O*E* isn't going to come tonight" George said, "It is already a quarter to seven."
"We'll give him ten minutes " Mac said. Max watched the mirror and the clock. The hands of the clock marked seven o'clock. And then five minutes passed seven.
"Come on now" said Max,"we're about to go,he is not coming tonight"
* came out of the kitchen. The small short gun made a little bump on the inside of its tied watercold.
"What about the three smart boys" * asked.
"They're all right" Mac said.
"Goodbye, smart boy," he said to George, "You will lucky tonight."
The two of them walked out of the door. George watched them through the window. They passed under the street lights and crossed the street.
George went back trough the kitchen's door and untied Nick and Sam.
"They were going to shot O E, " George said,"They were going and shot him when he came in here to eat."
"O E?"Nick asked. Georege nodded.
"Listen" George said to Nick "You had better go see O E."
"I'll go see him," Nick said, "Where did he live?"
"He lives at * Hotel" George said.
Outside the street lights were shining through the branches of the tree.
Nick walked up the street to * hotel. He walked in and saw a woman near the main desk.
"Is O*E* here?" he asked.
"Yes, he is in." she said.
Nick followed the woman up a flight stairs and back to the end of a dark hall way. She knocked on one of the doors.
"Who is it?" a voice asked.
"It is someone to see you, Mr E." |
