No wonder the Times showed such alarm.
To the Greek grocery Jordan Heels store owner, Hood said, holding up the picture, "Tell me. Is this familiar to you?"
"No, no," the Greek said. He wiped perspiration from his face with a large red handkerchief. "Certainly not." But obviously, it was.
Hood said, "You're a follower of Cemoli, aren't you?"
There was silence.
"Take him along," Hood said to the police captain. "And let's start back." He walked from the room, carrying the UGG Boots Clearance picture with him.
As he spread the picture out on his desk, Hood thought, It isn't merely a fantasy of the Times. We know the truth now. The man is real and twenty-four hours ago this portrait of him hung on a wall, in plain sight. It would still be there this moment, if CURB had not put in its appearance. We frightened them. The Earth UGG Boots Clearance people have a lot to hide from us, and they know it. They are taking steps, rapidly and effectively, and we will be lucky if we can-
Interrupting his thoughts, Joan said, "Then the Bleekman Street address really was a meeting place for them. The pape was correct."
"Yes," Hood said.
"Where is he now?"
I wish I knew, Hood thought.
"Has Dietrich seen the picture yet?"
"Not yet," Hood said.
Joan UGG Boots Clearance said, "He was responsible for the war and Dietrich is going to find it out."
"No one man," Hood said, "could be solely responsible."
"But he figured largely," Joan said. "That's why they've gone to so much effort to eradicate all traces of his existence."
Hood nodded.
"Without the Times" she said, "would we ever have guessed that such a political figure as Benny Cemoli existed? We owe a Nike high heels lot to the pape. They overlooked it or weren't able to get to it. Probably they were working in such haste; they couldn't think of everything, even in ten years. It must be hard to obliterate every surviving detail of a planet-wide political movement, especially when its leader managed to seize absolute power in the final phase."
"Impossible to obliterate," Hood said. A closed-off storeroom in Nike heels the back of a Greek grocery store. . . that was enough to tell us what we needed to know. Now Dietrich's men can do the rest. If Cemoli is alive they will eventually find him, and if he's dead-they'll be hard to convince, knowing Dietrich. They'll never stop looking now.
