Malone and Sheryl Dallen delivered Kylie Doolan back to the Magee apartment, where Paula Decker was waiting for them. Malone had phoned her before leaving Minto and she had sounded as if she was jumping at the chance to being involved in the Magee case again.

‘I’ll move in with Miss Doolan,’ she said, looking around the apartment like a prospective buyer. ‘My boss okayed it.’

‘Nobody asked me,’ said Kylie.

‘Miss Doolan,’ said Malone; his patience with women had been long learned, ‘this is for your protection. You may still be on the kidnap list.’

She stared at him as if he were threatening her; then she abruptly turned and went into one of the bedrooms. It was the wrong room. A moment later she came out and went into the main bedroom.

Malone looked at Sheryl and Paula Decker and shrugged. ‘Don’t let her out of your sight, Paula. I’m going to make a call.’

‘The toilet’s that way,’ said Sheryl, nodding.
