“I turned off the ’lectricity--the boys was always runnin’ up big
’lectricity bills on me--but when they didn’t come back, and didn’t
come back, I begun to get scared and fiery mad at ’em at the same time,
what with the window busted, and all. I figured they had most likely
skipped out to beat me out of the rent, but at the same time I was
scared somethin’ had happened to ’em. I sold all their stuff to the
junkman before Mr. Jarvis got here to claim it, but I’m within my
rights, an’ I know it. I don’t know no more, s’help me.”
The two detectives walked together, very slowly, to report. It was a
strange case.
