1956 - There's Always A Price Tag - Plot & Excerpts
'We're going to have visitors. There's no news of an accident. It beats me what's happened to them.'Looking worried and a little scared, Marian left the lounge. I turned up Edwin Burnett's number in the telephone book and called his house. I got him out of bed after a long delay and told him the news. He seemed pretty startled.'You say the police are coming over?''That's right. I thought maybe you'd want to be here.'But he hedged. It was just after three o'clock, and I guessed he didn't want to make the trip at that time in the morning.'You can handle it, can't you, Nash? Give me a call at ten o'clock at my office and let me know what's happening.' He gave me the number. 'It may be they have only had a breakdown. If the Press get on to you, don't tell them anything.''That's easier said than done, Mr. Burnett,' I said.'I know, but we've got to be careful not to embarrass Mrs. Dester.'I suddenly heard the faint note of an approaching siren. The sound chilled me.'I think the police are arriving now.
