The Ghost Breakers Page #2

Yes, sir.

Gettin' up 6:
00 in the morning,

climbin' in and outta windows.

If only you had some

relative to go with you.

Don't worry about me. Poor

working girl, honest but tough.

I can take care of myself.

That must be he now.

That must be he now.

Come in, Mr. Parada. I'm sorry to

be late. L... Oh, am I intruding?

Not at all. This is Mr.

Havez of the Cuban consulate.

This is Mr. Parada.

Senor.

How do you do?

I presume you are here to witness the transfer

of the estate to our charming friend?

Yes, as a matter

of routine.

Very well. Here are all

the rights and titles...

to the Castillo Maldito

on Black Island...

and to the island

itself.

I am sure you will find them

all in good order. Gracias.

And here, my dear, is your

transportation to Havana,

if you still care

to use it.

Outside of the ghosts, are there any

new reasons why I shouldn't sail tonight?

Maybe this is

a good reason.

I just received this cablegram

giving me the authority...

to offer you $50,000

for your castle.

Fifty thousand dollars!

This doesn't

make sense.

Why should anyone offer so much for

a castle full of secondhand spooks?

Who's making the offer,

Mr. Parada?

I'm sorry, I'm not at

liberty to tell you that.

Excuse me.

Hello. Yes.

You don't know me, Miss Carter.

My name is Ramon Mederos.

- I want to warn you against selling your

castle to Parada. - What did you say?

Well, I...

I can't see you now.

Where are you?

I'm in the hotel.

When may I see you?

In 20 minutes?

I'll be there.

In the meantime, be cautious.

Everything's in regular

order. Thank you.

And now if you will witness the

transfer with your signature Senor Havez.

Just a record for me to have in case

anything should happen to Miss Carter.

Thank you. The Castillo

Maldito is now your property.

Oh, what do you wish to do

about that offer?

Well, must I decide now,

this minute?

After all, anything over four dollars

calls for deep thought on my part.

Take your time, my dear,

until sailing time. Thank you.

I hope you'll

change your mind.

I'll be in my room down the

hall if you wish to reach me.

Senor.

Adios.

Well, good night. And if you

don't change your mind, bon voyage.

Thank you for everything.

It's been a pleasure.

Well!

Is your decision to go to

Black Island? More than ever.

Then let me

wish you good luck.

Thank you, Mr. Havez,

and you've been swell.

As you Americans say, watch

yourself, and let me hear from you.

I'll send you a snapshot of the

sunrise over Castillo Maldito.

Gracias.

Adios.

Good night.

And now for another story...

from that sun-dodging prowler

of the underworld.

That slaphappy habitue

of Manhattan nightspots.
