To the greater Southwest Insurance and liability company, Kingman Arizona Office. Following his account of expenses incurred during my further investigation of the Mojave Red Matter. Expense account item 120 cents for the phone call to Jake, Kestler, and Kingman.

I made that call in the office there at Lake Mojave Resort. And needless to say, Jake didn't quite believe me at first. Jake, I'd bet my last buck on it. You've got no evidence of foul play.

That's simply because they didn't know where to look. What do you mean? You know, Red Barrett, the old fishing guide over here? I've heard of it. Well, Red found the boat that Hobbs used that day.

It was lying on the bottom of one of the coves up in the big basin. Sure, because of the storm that drowned, Elmer Hobbs. Because somebody sank it, that boat had a couple of air tanks on it that would keep it afloat even if it was swamped.

But Jake, those tanks were cut open by whoever killed Hobbes. Good Lord. But who did it, Johnny? That's what I'm going to find out. I'll call you later. I hung up on Jake Kessler, then walked on back to the dock where I found Red Barrett and Buster Faver waiting for me.
