"Ten dollars' important?"The Phantom took a ten-dollar bill from the wallet.Collin said, "They got a place belonging to a guy I know. It's kind of isolated, off the end of a deadend road and sort of by itself. But her sweet Andy claims he likes privacy," "Where is it?"Collin tore a memo off the pad next to the register, and slowly hand-lettered an address. "Thereyou go."The Phantom exchanged his ten-dollar bill for the slip of paper. "I'd like to surprise Andy. So don't call him.""That'll cost another ten bucks," Collin told him. "To keep it a surprise."Hearing the fire engines shrieking up behind him, the Phantom pulled his black coupe off to the side of the curving hill road.Two scarlet engines roared by, heading in the same direction he was.The sky up here was a smoky orange; cinders sparkled in the air. The Phantom was three blocks from the cul-de-sac block where Anderson might be holding Diana. He continued his climb. Pie was able to drive another block and a half.Two uniformed men were setting out yellow sawhorses, closing off the street.One of them waved him back.
