The fat man sighed. He knew from

his mind was made up, was inn
pervious to pleas and arguments.
"Why don't you just sit Tight" was
his final attempt. II don't see what

An odd smile played about the
Phantom's lips. Wrong. Wade. 1t
goes against the grain To have foul
murder linked to ones name. but 1t
isn't that. I'm not lying awake nights

had closed behind him, and the Gray

he paced the floor. his eyes were soft
