Appointment with Danger Page #3

---

Hmm, nice pedigree.

Armed robbery 1938, armed

robbery 1939,

armed robbery 1941.

1940 must have

been a slow year.

Invasion of national service

act, 1942 convicted, released

April 1947.

Arrested drunk driving 1948.

Last known to be in

Gary, Indiana.

That turns into a big town.

I'll, uh I'll notify your boss.

While you're on the phone

call homicide at Gary.

Tell them to put a tail

on Soderquist.

Anything else?

Yeah, brief them on the

case until I get there.

Oh, and tell them I'm arranging

to have sister

Augustine report to Gary as

an identifying witness.

Oh, I don't know Mr. Goddard.

I'm afraid the church

authorities would frown on

such a thing.

Not if the matter's

murder sister.

I'll have Washington contact

the chancellery.

Very well.

But I don't think that I'm

going to be much help.

You identify him and I'll see

that he gets the chair.

Thank you.

Good evening, I'm

mother Ambrose.

My name's Goddard.

I have a letter from the bishop.

Sit down sister.

Is this Soderquist a friend

of yours sister?

No.

I picked him out of the mug book.

Mug book?

It's a phrase she picked up.

Will you be here long sister?

Until we can proffer charges

against Soderquist for murder.

Are you sure he's the murderer?

That's the way I'd vote.

He'll get a trail and everything

the law allows.

But not one drop of charity.

I'll have them set us up

a place for you sister.

You don't think very much

of me, do you sister?

I think much of everything

Mr. Goddard.

But I feel sorry for you.

I don't think you have a heart.

Call it muscle.

That's the way it is with a cop.

I don't believe it.

When a cop dies, they don't

list it as heart failure.

It's Charlie horse of the chest.

Thank you.

You Goddard?

Yeah.

I'm Dave Goodman,

local homicide.

Oh, how do you do?

Sister Augustine

I'm glad I caught you.

We got your boy Soderquist

staked out

at a downtown pool room.

It's fine.

We can't move until sister

Augustine identifies him.

Would you like to come

down and have a look?

How about it?

All right then.

Oh, mother Ambrose?

May we borrow sister Augustine

for a while?

Where will you be?

If the bishop or someone

should call.

Say I'll be back shortly.

I mean specifically, what

shall I tell them?

Just tell them I'm

down at the pool.

Sister.

Oh, I'm sorry.

That's the man.

The man with the coat on.

He's the one that spoke

to me in the alley.

George Soderquist. What

about the other one?

No, I've never seen him before.

It's a hoodlum hang out.

He may have a record.

Let's find out.

Have you got a tail

on Soderquist?

Sure.

Is that all.

For now.

I'll have to take you back

to St. Michael's.
