From Hollywood, it's time now for...

Johnny Deller.

Lieutenant Lefebvre, New Orleans, Police, Johnny. How's that when you call?

Lieutenant, I think I've got a new lead on the whereabouts of Tom Chase.

I could use a new lead. Let me have it.

That room he leased into the name of Tom James. Remember that charred paper we found in the wastebasket?

Sure. Stuff he tried to burn after he took off in a hurry the night of Freddie Quintana's murder.

We could make out two numbers written on one scrap of paper.

Twelve and twenty-three. I haven't been able to figure out what they mean, though.

Neither had I, until I happened to look at the Harbor News in the newspaper.

Yeah. Do you think those numbers could refer to a ship sailing pier 23 at 12 o'clock maybe?

Could be, Johnny.

Sure could be.

I go to work on it.

Maybe I have something by the time you get here.

Lieutenant, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Tonight and every weekday night,

Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account,

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.

Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

Thank you. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, Location New Orleans, to the Home Office Universal

Adjustment Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment, the Phantom Chase Matter.

Expense account continues.
