The_Midnight_Visitor

The knocking at the door became louder and a voice was raised. “Mr. Ausable! Mr. Ausable!”
Keeping his body twisted so that his gun still covered the fat man and his guest, the man at the window seized the frame with his free hand to support himself as he rested his weight on one thigh. Then he swung his other leg up and over the window sill.
“The report,” he said in a quiet voice. “The report that is being brought to you tonight about some new missiles. I thought I would take it from you. It will be safer in my hands than in yours.”
White faced and shaking, Fowler stared after him. “But... but... what about... the police?” he stammered.
The door opened and a waiter stood there with a tray, a bottle and two glasses. “Here is the drink you ordered, sir.” He set the tray on the table and left the room.
