 The attendant at the mermaid bit told me that Frank Jessup had gone home early. Expense account item 16, 75 cents cab fare to Frank's bungalow in Venice. The place was dark. No answer. You looking for Mr. Jessup? Oh, yes, ma'am. Oh, he just left a few minutes ago. Out for a walk, I guess. Oh, that so? Do you know which way he headed? Down the street. That way. Good, thanks.
