I arrived at midnight, once straight to the Beverly Hilton, had a good night's sleep, and woke up to an early spring heatwave. By nine o'clock, I had placed my call to Parsons, Stocks and Bonds.

At ten o'clock, I met Robert Ecker in person. He was a man about my age with a thin face and good clothes. Judging from his office, the job of secretary was a pretty responsible one.

I don't quite understand this, Mr. Dollar. What made you think that Mr. Parsons Jr. is missing? Is he around? Do you mean is he in town? Yeah, is he in town? Is he around? Can I see him?
