Miss Callaghan Comes to Grief
“JAY ELLINGER parked his car in the big courtyard of the Preston Building and asked the commissionaire for Benny Perminger.
The commissionaire shook his head. “He left here a couple of weeks ago,” he said. “Mr. Caston would tell you where he went.”
Jay followed him into the reception hall. After a delay of phoning the commissionaire jerked his head to the elevator. “Third floor. Sixth door on the right,” he said.
Jay found Caston looking worried. He shook hands with him and accepted ...a chair.
“You a friend of Perminger's?” Caston asked.
Jay nodded. “I've been out of town for some time,” he explained. “I wanted to get in touch with him. It's important.”
Caston played with his penholder. “Well, I'm glad someone wants to find him,” he said. “I've been worried about that guy.”
