Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. A time and life insurance company, Las Vegas office. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the two steps to murder matter. Cab the Bradley field, 193.49, fling fare, Hartford to New York to Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Nevada.

As Pete Breneman had promised, I got there in time for breakfast. A very early one. He met me at McCarran Field and drove me into the Silver Dollar Cafe just around the corner from his office on Fremont Street.

Okay now, Jerry, let me, uh, what's the matter? I just don't get it, please. Hmm? Don't get what? That's sweet little old lady. She looks like somebody's Sunday school. Right there at the front door and it's this time of the morning.

I thought you were in a hurry for me to get on it. No, I was. I am. But Janie, well, I just talked again to Sergeant Kyle. He'll look headquarter. He's here to come out here for nothing.
