Appointment with Danger Page #2

---

20 minutes, not my fault.

During that 20 minutes

did you see a

nun get off the train?

You got me.

I was too busy.

But she should've gotten off,

walked into town, and gotten

back here before it left.

Well, I guess so.

Well, suppose that happened and

she got back on the train.

From here on could there any

other station she'd get off.

No.

That train doesn't stop until

it gets to fort Wayne.

What's this?

Fast freight to fort Wayne.

Thanks.

Hey!

You see a nun get off the

special yesterday?

No.

How about you Charlie?

Well they usually

travel in pairs.

Did you see a pair then?

Yeah, they got on a bus.

What bus?

Belle isle.

Like the one that's loading

over there.

Thanks.

Sister Augustine.

I work for the post office.

Well, that's very nice.

My name is Goddard.

I'm here investigating a murder.

Oh, I'm sure we wouldn't know

anything about such a thing.

On Tuesday night you saw a

man dumped in an alley of

Laporte, Indiana.

I got off the train to get

sister Paula some medicine.

She wasn't feeling so well.

Neither was the guy

in the alley.

He was a dead government agent

by the name of Harry Gruber.

Did he have a family?

What's the difference sister?

He's just as dead either way.

Not quite Mr. Goddard.

Well the point is, the night

his luck ran out you had a

grand stand seat.

I don't understand.

Could you identify any of the

people in the alley with him?

One at least. He was

very helpful.

Would you mind coming downtown

and checking the

state police files?

I don't think so Mr. Goddard.

I have classes in a few minutes.

I have children to teach.

Sister, it's your job

to go down there.

Isn't there someone

else you could get?

Even if there were you

should know better.

Letting someone else do your job

is a design of the devil.

All right, I'll see

mother Joseph.

You're right about letting

someone else do your job.

It's not original sister,

merely a quote.

Well, whoever said it,

it was very true.

It's from the writings

of Martin Luther.

Oh.

From his earlier writings

I imagine.

I'll be there Mr. Goddard.

My, there's an ugly one.

Most of them are sister.

I suppose so.

But you wonder how when you

see them as small boys.

You wonder how they can

ever do anything bad.

But they usually do.

Here you are sister.

All right Joe.

I had a laugh a while ago.

She was looking at a picture

of that hammer murderer and

said, maybe he didn't get

the proper training.

Well maybe he didn't.

In a pig's eye, he

was a carpenter.

Mr. Goddard.

I think that's the man

I saw in the alley.

You're not quite sure?

Almost. If I could

see him in person.

George Soderquist.

The helpful one.

How's he read?
