yljlgff Ol' AWA' I guess I must have known it immediately. From the moment I awoke behind the wheel of a '49 sedan, I must have sensed it. But it takes a little while before a man's ready to admit he has amnesia. I took a quick look around and saw that the car was parked in an alley. I was still foggy. I tried to recall something, anything. The next thing I knew, I was sitting in a diner drinking a cup of coffee. I looked up from the coffee and found myself staring at the mirror. I was looking at somebody who could have been anybody. but turned out to be me. I was still studying myself when I was interrupted. I heard the radio blasting. I only caught a few fragments, but they were enough. Enough to tell me that john Sloan, President of the Acme Life Insurance Company, was missing. Enough to tell me that john Sloan might be the person I was staring at. Feeling relieved, I put a quarter on the counter and got up. Say Bud, the old man behind the counter said. Is that your car outside? Yeh, sure, I answered. Well, seeing as you acted real good to me just now. I might as well warn you. They say that Price is headed this way. Better not give any stranger a lift. Price, I asked. Wl1o's he? uWho's he? Who's Frank Price? Why he's just about the toughest con in the state. just broke out of the State Pen this week. I mumbled a half-hearted thanks, and rushed out the door. I had to have time to think . . . to ponder. To wonder if in warning me, the old man had actually been warning Frank Price. I jumped into the car and jammed the gas pedal down to the floor. As I rode on, I had plenty of time to think. That was the only thing I dared do. I was stuck, and yet, maybe I had no right to be. It was pretty funny. I might be an arch-criminal, and, then again. maybe I was a Wall Street tycoon. I didn't get much of a chance to think before I realized that I was headed straight for a road-block. As I neared it. I noticed a few troopers in front. I had no time to back out. I was trapped. As a trooper approached., sweat began pouring down my back. and my hands grew cold and clammy. In the eternity of time that it took him to reach the car, I found myself alternately thinking . . . hoping . . . dreading, and finally, I found myself praying. As the trooper opened the door, I sighed. In another second I would know. I would know if I was a respectable citizen. or a number in a prison file. IXIANFRED SAFFERN. thirteen
