I sat back and sighed, oh Kathy, I said. For a moment I was planning how to spend that reward money Kathy looked coldly at me. Then her face changed. All right, she said, a little hopelessly, "Maybe it's a crazy idea it was a long time ago, and a lot of people have looked for those pearls. But he's a nice little guy, and believe him He knows where Sype is.
"Did he say all this in his sleep? of course not. But you know me. An old policewoman's got ears, I guessed he was an ex-con and sometimes I stopped outside his door and listened to him talking to himself when I'd heard enough, I made him tell me the rest. He wants help to get that insurance money
I sat forward again. So where's sype? Kathy smiled. He refused to tell me that, or the name that Sype's using now. But it's somewhere up north. near olympia, Washington, Peeler saw him there. and he says Sype didn't see him. I lit another cigarette and had another little drink
ok, I said. Will he talk to me? I guess he wants help with talking to the insurance company. After, of cousre, he goes to see Sype, and Sype just puts the pearl straight into his hand and walks away. Is that it?
Kathy sighed, Yes, he'll talk to you. she said. 'But he's really frightened about something will you go and see him? sure- if that's what you want. Kathy took her keys out of her bag and wrote her address
