[Cabin Fever by B. M. Bower]@TWC D-Link bookCabin Fever CHAPTER SIX 3/19
He was not absolutely sure that they were the diamond thieves but it would be easy enough to find out, because officers sent after them would naturally be mistaken for first aid from some garage, and the cops could nab the men and look into that grip they were so careful not to let out of their sight. "Are you sure they won't get the car repaired and go on ?" It was perfectly natural that the chief should fear that very thing. "No chance!" Bud chuckled into the 'phone.
"Not a chance in the world, chief.
They'll be right there where I left 'em, unless some car comes along and gives 'em a tow.
And if that happens you'll be able to trace 'em." He started to hang up, and added another bit of advice.
"Say, chief, you better tell whoever gets the car, to empty the gas tank and clean out the carburetor and vacuum feed--and she'll go, all right! Adios." He hung up and paid the charge hurriedly, and went out and down a crooked little lane that led between bushes to a creek and heavy timber. It did not seem to him advisable to linger; the San Francisco chief of police might set some officer in that village on his trail, just as a matter of precaution.
