Lfthec: British agent, the Irian Petrel loves, Petrel the JJdpett, but her love Tony it Chapter 32 'I've Had WOUND L- not serious. Has- gan is badly injured. He is in that car." Her voice sounded hard, small. There were sobs feady to rise and choke it, unless Ihe controlled herself rigidly.

"what happened?" asked Tony. Petrel related the occurrences, is though she were submitting a NpWt. "We drove without lights until We.Saw the plane in the moonlight. We had expected it to be guarded by police, with camels and lanterns. Instead we thought we saw iglires moving.

There were no ights. I told Hassan to turn on his leadlights, and make a circuit, to iistract the unknown men, so that could search near the plane. I Umped off the step of the car. The wo men ran after the car, and shot Hassan. When I reached the plane, I found one guard gagged and tied up.

The other was murdered. I took his rifle. Fired it, to get them back. Ran to the car and managed to get away. They fired at us as we drove off.

That is all." "All!" muttered Michael, gripping her tighter. Petronella turned her head. "Will you go to the car and wait lor me? I want to speak to Tony alone for a minute. Then I want you to take me back to the hotel." "All right." He looked strangely at them, and obeyed. She waited for a moment.

The sergeant followed, as his men car- itled Hassan to one of the police cars. She was alone with Tony. She laced him. "Here are the papers you would have risked Peter's life 'to get, £Tony," she flashed. "Luckily my right wrist wasn't broken, so I could fire a rifle and drive a car.

Hassan is dead, or wounded. But for some reason or other, I'm still alive. But I've had enough, Tony. JThank God I shall never know iwhat lies you would have used to explain it to me, if Peter had gone 'out there and been killed, as the guard was killed!" He stepped close to her. "Petrel, you're hysterical.

You don't know you're saying. You don't un- r.derstand. How was I to know the papers were out there, in the sand, bidden? When he heard that, Peter jwpuld have phoned me, and gone an escort." She laughed in hard, bitter disbelief. "Peter! Peter, wait! He'd lihave gone as I did, alone. Well, 'Peter didn't go.

I don't believe you'd have cared if he had," she' laged coldly. "You'd thought of Ithe possibility, you didn't Perhaps she was hysterical, as he had told her. Her nerves had gone. She must get away from JTony, from this hateful scene, from Everything. "It was only when you discov- that I had gone instead, that you were afraid of a scandal.

Because you can't let a girl get killed, people asking awkward questions. If you hadn't discovered that, you weren't coming, yourself. You were going to wait for the pa- in the room at the 'Continen- they are take them! 'The'y have cost two lives, perhaps To Be Alive' i CLINGING them on to the ground i 1 at his feet, she turned. She 'went to the car, and climbed in the door Michael held jiopen for I "Take me away quickly, Mike," ishe whispered. Tony was at the door.

"Wait a iminute. She has got to listen. Petrel, you've got it all wrong. Peter will confirm that. You have got to believe two things.

That I had no Sdea'Peter was really injured. He forgets to mention things like that, when he is keen to be given a job." "Yes, I'll believe that," Petronella answered, stonily. "Secondly, that I acted quickly, Without realizing the possibility that the dispatch might still be in the-plane, and Peter, being crazy, might go straight after it. I can never forgive myself for not of that. Unhappily, the is true.

Papers like these do 'cost lives. It is a fact. I can't deny tUt, YOU did an amazing job. But it iwas right that you should hate it. iYou ore lucky to be alive." "I don't feel lucky." "You are hating me, now.

But it my job you hate, Petrel. When 1 you realize that the things you said were unjust, and bitter, remember Think it over." Fetronella met his eyes. Her 4iwj only half grasped what he bad said. But the chief thought up- jrjjiost in her mind was that she not want to believe, or trust "Peter wouldn't have waited for escort," she repeated. "He wpyld have been dead.

He is alive. ant 0ur papers, That is all These last days you vaguely, meant to marry me, But I no longer want you. I do job, And you put it first, first. I thought I loved you, put up with that; and were worth it. fiut you're ftbt We had enough.

You gave me some good advice. I'm going to take it. I'm going back to England tomorrow. To stay there. I've had enough!" Tony stepped back.

The expression in his eyes was strange. "I can see you ftave, Petrel." He spoke to Michael. "Take her home, Mike. Give her a stiff drink. Get a doctor to that shoulder.

See that she sleeps. Good night. Petrel. Thank you for these. They cost a lot." Petronella wept quietly, against Mike's steady shoulder.

His arm encircled her. He did not speak. A.t last she said: "Will you try to book me a passage home from Port Said? If Peter is all right, I'll leave by train tomorrow," "Why won't you believe Petrel?" "Everything hangs together. He's very plausible now. But he can't cancel out nightmare, Mike.

No, he just didn't think it mattered letting Peter take a risk. Some men are like that. Danger is part of existence. He'd have done the same lob himself, if he had thought he could succeed. But he was being followed everywhere.

He always is. That is his life, Mike. And I can't face it. I couldn't be happy with' him. Not now.

I suppose I still love him. I can't help it. But I know that he is hard, and insensitive. I'm going to cut him out. Otherwise, Peter will be mixed up in his jobs, from now on.

I know it. He admires Tony already. I want Peter to live, Mike, not die with a knife in his back." She broke down again shivering and crying. As best he could Mike comforted her. When they reached the "Continental," Ted Masters told them, "Rene is dead." It was true, what Tony had said.

That dispatch from Moscow had cost a great deal. Off Without Me' ONY stood beside Peter's bed in the white private ward. There was beating sunlight outside. It was afternoon. Petronella had packed, and left the mid-day train.

Tony spoke, "There's a very flat feeling about Cairo today." He walked to the window, and stood looking out. The bright light revealed the.lines of weariness in.his face. "You've said it," agreed Peter. "I'm sorry about last night. I feel it was my fault.

I ought to have guessed she was going herself, and stopped her." "You couldn't help it. I'll never forget what it was like, though, getting your message that Masters had gone. When there he was, having a drink with me!" "Of course I'll write and tell her you were speaking the truth. You couldn't have known Ren6 would bury the things. If I'd stopped to think, I should have phoned you, and taken an escort." Tony flung round.

"Don't write. I've told her. She knows. But she was right. There was still danger.

There is always danger. I take it for granted. The issue seemed'suf- ficiently important, to me, to make the job worth anyone's while. I'd no idea about your injuries. But knowing you, I might have foreseen, as she did, the way you would have acted.

The thought of an escort never occurred to you, did it?" "No." "I'm going to let her go, without trying to justify myself. She has showed me up. What should I have felt, if you hadn't got through alive? You see? ohe's better without me!" Peter groaned. "I can't stand the thought of her going off alone, like that. These last few days she has been so happy.

Happier than I've ever seen her before. Now, I suppose she is feeling equally miserable. Couldn't you send her a radiogram? Just a word or two, to soften it; to suggest the break needn't be permanent?" Tony sat on the edge of his bed. He pulled at a cotton which hung from Peter's bandaged wrist. He shook his head.

"I can't believe it would be for her good. That dispatch gives me orders for Russia; after that, Spain. And tells me there is trouble ahead. Especially in Spain. Reading that document is like looking into the future.

And it isn't any better than the past. Last night, when she was nearly hysterical, it all came tumbling she hates horror, suffering, trouble. Fascism and Marxism are bound to go on clashing, Peter It is a fight which will have to be fought to a finish. I don't want to drag her into that. I wouldn't recall her, even if could." Peter tossed restlessly.

"I suppose you're right. I hope so. But this needn't prevent our being friends, Tony. Do you think they would find any sort of a niche for me in your service?" He sat up, waiting for his answer. Tony laughed.

"Your sister knows you pretty well. She said you would feel like that. But she had a horror of your getting mixed up in it. The least I can do for her is to refuse you." "But, damn it, she isn't my nurse." "Sorry, Peter. She also told me Believe It or Not by Ripley Qing on leading the last years, I thought you something else; besides being impulsive, you are not sufficiently discreet when you're drunk.

And you are bad on detail. For all three reasons, I'm refusing." Peter threw his head back on to his pillow disgustedly. "Women are better at home!" hi declared, 19)9.
