A glance at his watch told him that he had no time for his usual leisurely lunch. He had instead a sandwich and a glass of milk, then went to the station. The Chief was pacing the floor of the detectives' room.
"Hello, Charlie," he cried. "I've been wondering where you were. Pretty busy this morning, I take it?"
"Like fly on hot griddle," Chan answered. "And just as eager to get off."
