Wait Until Dark Page #2

lf you'd only said please.

And now l'd like the key.

Please?

Go look.

Well, she was trespassing, Mike...

...poaching...

...going into business for herself.

Bad news.

Things like that go on,

what do you have?

Anarchy.

No discipline, no sense of order.

Bad news.

Out!

-Haven't you forgotten something?

-We just earned the money.

l mean fingerprints.

You just signed your names

all over this place.

Even if you could remember, it'd

still take you hours to wipe them up.

lf not days.

As for me...

...well, l've only touched one thing

since l've been in here.

And now it's clean...

...like me. No police record,

no known associations with Lisa.

Nothing, in fact.

l could let you go and what would happen?

l'd evaporate.

But you? Bad news.

Don't forget this, sarge.

And the icebox, don't forget the icebox.

Carlino, knock it off!

We can prove where we were

when this happened.

Oh, and when did it happen?

-Just before you let me in?

-So?

So if you do exactly what l tell you...

...there will be no police,

there will be no problems.

Go on.

First, get her out of here.

Roll her up in this.

l got a van by the corner.

l'll bring it out front.

Why not the back, where

there's less publicity?

There's no back door.

We'll dump her where l found this.

Give me a hand.

-She'll be found.

-l hope so.

All she's got on her is a hotel key.

When they check...

...they'll see she's Mrs. Harry Roat Jr.

-From Scarsdale.

-Right.

This changes things a little, you know?

That's what l figured.

We'll talk about it later.

No, we'll talk about it now.

lt was 2000 each. Now it's 4.

Get behind the door, and, you, back there.

Stay dead still.

She's alone. Don't breathe.

Sam?

Sam, are you here?

No, Susy, l'm not here.

Gloria?

-Hendrix here.

-Hendrix here too.

l called to tell you l was the best

in blind school today.

-That's my girl.

-l really truly was, cross my heart.

And I believe you.

So can l tap my way over to your studio?

Not now.

Some female with the unlikely name

of Lejiana is due any minute for a sitting.

Well, l'll wait for you here, then.

Look, I'll tell you what. Since

this Lejiana character is already late...

...I'll just stick around

a few more minutes.

So can l come over and wait for you

in the coffee shop downstairs?

Sure.

Won't be hard to find me.

l'll be the one reading Peter Rabbit in Braille.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Damn it. You're supposed to be there.

Gloria, l know you're there.

Mr. Hendrix won't wait forever.

Shall we go to work, children?

Two plus two, 4000.

Two plus two, Mr. Talman.

Highly recommended.

Disposable, you buy them in enormous rolls...

...from Hammacher Schlemmer.
