Eyes in the Night Page #5

Wall on your right,

big full-Length window.

Small table with a lamp

on it. Big fireplace.

Wall ahead of you. A glass cabinet.

Door leading to a bedroom, I guess.

Big chair.

Over the chair is a picture of a...

a reclining tomato.

Wall to your left. Baby grand piano.

Small round table with a

lamp on it, another chair.

Wall behind you. Wooden chair.

There's some kind of a screwball statue

Sitting in a hole in the wall.

It stinks.

Go on, go on.

Well, that's about all, I guess.

I'll take a look in the other room.

Haven't you forgotten

one important item?

What? The body?

Nobody here.

Nobody!

It's gone!

She said I it was in

front of the fireplace.

It ain't here now, Mac, I assure you.

Any bloodstains on the rug?

The rug is like the

body - There ain't any -

Not in front of the fireplace.

Okay.

Hmm, polished floor.

A lot of dust.

Hmm.

Seems to form a curved line.

There was a rug here,

and it was taken away,

Recently, after he was killed.

He ain't in there. They

must have carted him away.

I don't get it about the rug.

I catch. Bloodstains.

They're gonna get it cleaned.

Did it ever occur to you

That they might have used

the rug to carry the body out?

Right. Right!

Get a hold of the janitor.

See if he can get a

line on Gerente's friends

Who might have visited him tonight.

Right! And I'll see if a

stiff was taken out in a rug.

No! Don't mention

anything about a stiff!

You want us both thrown into jail?

Don't you know what we're doing

May be termed conspiring

to defeat justice?

Certainly I know it.

Turn out the lights.

Come on, Friday, through the door.

Let's see what we can find out

About the late, departed Mr. Gerente.

Ahh, here's the clothes closet.

When Marty gets back,

We'll have a look

through Gerente's effects.

Under the bed, Friday.

Keep your mouth shut.

I want Rossmore 555.

My number?

Murray hill 44598.

Hello, Rossmore 555?

This is Gabriel. That you, Vera?

Yes, I'm all right.

I know, but somebody

has to do the dirty work.

It's part of the job.

All right, I'll be back soon.

Now, baby, stop worrying about me.

Just a minute. I don't

know yet. Call you back.

Let go! Get away!

Friday, get out of the way!

Let go of my neck.

Now, you better lay quiet,

or I'll disconnect it for you.

Thank you, sir. Now,

go get Marty, quick!

Get up on your feet.

Get up on your feet and face that wall!

Come on, who hired you?

I bet you've been questioned a lot.

You know how to keep your

mouth shut, don't you?

What's this? Marty.

This is Gabriel.

He gossips like a magpie.

Oh, charming!

Mac, you're gonna have

to give up popcorn.

You get the dizziest prizes.

Come on, Gabriel, tell us
