CHAPTER XXXVI I ria stood, clutching her puree tn both hands, as she looked slowly around the apartment. “So this is where you live. as," Her voice was halting. She swayed a little. Mike eaught her breath and realised that Iris had been drinking. Iris laughed. Perhaps she had noted the growing concern in Mike’s wide open eyes. “You’re seared aren't you?” Mike Ignored her question, asking instead: did you some?" “Oh. you know well enough why I earns." Iris had to steady herself with the back of a chair. The telephone rang. Mike started toward the phone. "Don’t answer that!” Iris's eyes were biasing. She drew a tiny automatic pistol from her purse. Her hand waverel, but Mike realised that Iris’s aim might be recklessly accurate. The phone rang for quite a time. “1 just want to tell you: You think you're smart, going after Larry. Well, you're not!" Iris waved the pistol She seemed suddenly to become sober. “You got Wish Malone to snoop around, because you wanted my Larry. I know how you found out about Alfredo! Carol told you.” Mike was so stunned she could not speak. She just stood there looking at the blonde girl sheathed in black velvet. “1 came here to find out one thing. Where did you find out Alfredo and I weren't divorced?” Ins rasped. Mike tried desperately to think. What would happen if she rushed past Iris to the door? Would Iris really • shoot? Mike figured she would not, but—- “ Tell me!" “What?” "How you found out about Alfredo and me?" “I didn't." “Don’t he to me!" Mike tried another tact “Mrs. Regar, thia is all very siUy." “Don't you ’Mrs. Regan’ me.” Just then the buxaer sounded. Both stood rooted to the spot. “Who is it?” “I don’t know." “Keep sti!l!“ Iris warned. The bell sounded again and then became silent. Irish resumed with, “Yes. I'm going to shoot you. You can’t have Handsome. 1 can t either, but I’m not going to see you grab him.” There was a slight noise outside In the hall. Mike tried to keep her face blank as she realised with alarm that Mr. Regan. Sr., had a key to the apartment. Iris did not seem to notice anything. But Mike was sure she heard faintly preceptable sounds. There was a key in the lock on the other side of the door, Slowly, quietly, the door began to open. Ina turned toward it. “Don’t open that door!’’ Mike's voice broke the silence in a crescendo of warning. Too late! The door swung wide. But Mike had jumped quickly enough to strike Iris’s arm upward. There was a ear-splitting explosion. It seemed to come from somewhere else in the apartmenL . . . Then Wish was there at Iris’s side; Mr. Regan, Sr, and Handsome rushed straight to Mike. There was also a strange man who banged the door shut, commanding sternly, “Be quiet!** Ho turned to Mike. “When anybody comes to that door, you tel! them that Wish dropped his gun accidently and It went off.” There was the sound of exerted voices outside. The strange man

Sr, spoke for the first uase. “She is ready to leave now," said the strange man. “And she wants to tell you all how sorry she Is." He turned to Iris, whe spoke up: “I just had too many cocktails, and then I saw a chance to get away. Gave Wish the slip. He’s too smart, anyway!" "What about Um gun, Iris?" She laughed at him: “I had that al! the time." The man who was introduced to Mike aa “Mr. Johnson, the club's lawyer,” broke in with: "Mrs. Her nandes promisee to remain in Califorma for a year. There won’t be any repetition of thia." , Iris turned toward him: "Where is Alfredo now?” “Immigration has him." Iris shrieked: “You doublecrossed me!“ “We didn't How did we know he’d overstay his permit?" “They’ll deport him I” Tears filled Iris’s deep blue eyes. “Probably. But remember, he’s the boy that finally talked Not anybody else." “He always was . .bet Iris stopp 'd at that pmtrt and turned to Mike aa though she were making a social call with. “1 am so sorry to have caused so much excitement. Please forgive me." “Certainly," said Mike as everyone present began to laugh over the nerve-cracking strain. “Maybe the boys would tike a drink, skipper?" Handsome suggested. "i'U * tr *f ~ Mike responded and hurried around, got glasses and 1 ice. It might have been any casual cocktail party except that Iris broke into hysterical tears now and then, accusing Wish and Johnsen with “You promised you'd no* tat them send Alfredo to jail!" “I know. Iris. I tried to play fair, but I didn't know ho was in this country illegally until afterward," explained Johnson. “When I begun to eheck, the Immigration authorities got interested and the fat was in the fire.” “Cant you save him?** "Wo can try." In the little kitchenette, waiting for coffee to beU. Handsome he'd Mike in his arms. "You're wonderful, Skipper. Nobody like you in the whole world. You turned the trick." “What do you mean?” “About Iris, and the South American," he explained. “Then it’s true?" “Os course, it's true, I knew that the mossent Wish spoke to me. It was the ealy possible explanation of where my money went.* Mike still eould not understand. “But what does it all mean?” “Darling, perfectly simple," He kissed her between bites oa a sand

with. "She married me and Alfredo agreed to say nothing, if she'd pay him off regularly. Only trouble was, ho wanted more as I made more." “Then they were never divorced?" "That’s it I" “ Maybe she didn’t know that" “Nonsense! Alfredo was with her tn New York whea she met ma.” "I can hardly believe IL” But Hau taoms continued his reassurance. “She figured it would be worth-while publicity being my wife.

"So that's what Wish has been doing?" Handsome threw back his head and howled: “Most of the last few days he's been playing nursemaid to Iris! Mr. Crisp was afraid there’d be bad publicity during the Senes." “It won't be so good now.” “Oh, well, there’ll be some newspaper noise over the annulment; ' then It will drop." He went on to add: “Johnson is Mr. Crisp's personal attorney." Shortly Mike mme tn with the coffee and poured a cup for Iris, who seemed quite contrite over the sensational scene she had caused. “They all ganged up on me and wouldn’t tell me where Alfredo wan That made me sore,” she explained ar she set down her cup.

Just to get the record straight. Lawyer Johnson's going to ask for an annulment. The story will haUe to eome out." Mike's head was against his shouL der. “That shouldn't take mors than a eouple of months.
