Kenneth Malone here.

Trouble?

Nope, Malone said. Pelham looked even sadder.

Just checking out for vacation. You can tell the Chief I'm going to take off for Las Vegas. I'm taking his advice, tell him; I'm going to carouse and throw my money away and look at dancing girls and smoke and drink and stay out late. I'll let the local office know where I'm staying when I get there, just in case something comes up.

O.K., Pelham said unhappily.

I'll check you out. He tried a smile, but it looked more like the blank expression on the face of a local corpse.

Have fun,
gpt
Thanks, Malone said.

I'll try.
