The Phyllis Files Ch. 04

"Yes sir, I'll do that." Murphy said happily.

"Okay, thank you Austin." Wargrave said. "I'll talk with you again tomorrow." Murphy left, and the guest came out from behind the heavy curtain.

"Brownlee is a hopeless fuck up." said the guest. "But maybe he'll agitate the Iron Crowbar and keep him occupied."

"If the Iron Crowbar returns from Alabama alive." said Wargrave. The guest said nothing, knowing that the Iron Crowbar was a step ahead of Wargrave, who added "By the way, sir, I don't know anything about this Edmonds woman. Does she ring a bell for you?"

"If memory serves me correctly, she was a problem of the late Nathan Allen's, may he rest in peace." said the guest. "He had her put in the Asylum, as he did Phil Kearnes. Allen was a very stupid man, very stupid. He has cost us tremendously, much more than the Iron Crowbar has. But still... the Iron Crowbar is formidable man, a foeman truly worthy of our steel. If he does survive Alabama... then this could indeed become the winter of our discontent..."

Finis.
