Jake Randolph in "The Eternal Night" Pt. 217

I went back out the door and headed for the stairs. Mason was about to get a crash course in how to stall someone.

I took the stairs down to the lobby and found a payphone. I called Detective Lyman.

"Yeah?" he said.

"Lyman, it's Jake Randolph. We've graduated from busting a still image pornography ring and about to enter a new phase: pornographic movies."

There was silence and then, "Is this tied to Gertie's bunch?"

"Yep. It's all a coordinated effort. I need you on Lombard Street like yesterday."

I gave him the aparment's address.

"I'll be there soon."
