We've got Disbrow you know; and the next thing is to get hold of some of those rotten San Francisco bosses.
Osterman will----" But Harran interrupted him, making a quick gesture with his hand.
"Don't tell me about it," he said.

"I don't want to know what you and Osterman are going to do.

If I did, I shouldn't come in." Yet, for all this, before they said good-bye Annixter had obtained Harran's promise that he would attend the next meeting of the Committee, when Osterman should return from Los Angeles and make his report.

Harran went on toward Los Muertos.
