to arrest Mr. Devlin for kidnapping. There's a few other charges we can tack onto that, too, if the women will be your witnesses."
"Kidnappin's all we need right now to arrest him!" the police officer told him. "I'll have some men over right away!"
"All right! See you there!" Mike cried, and was gone.
When he got back to the building he noticed a large truck at its rear entrance, with its trailer doors open. He knew he'd have to hurry and do something before it was too late....the girls would be rolling down the highway in the back of that thing, terrified, in the dark. He materialized in the secret office again just in time to see Mr. Devlin trying to leave with a briefcase and a large box containing files in his arms.
"Hold it right there!" Mike shouted. "Just what kind of business do you think you're running here, mister?
Devlin jumped, almost dropping the box. His face was etched in fear. He didn't dare turn around.
"You saw the sign," he stammered, "I'm in the computer dating business. I've got all my papers....perfectly legit. Want to see them?"
"Not right now. What I want to know is what you're doing with those girls you were speaking to in that room over there."
The man was becoming frustrated. He couldn't understand how anyone could have seen them in the room! No one could possibly have!
"Oh, they're just some satisfied customers who are getting married soon. Yes, very soon, indeed. We found their perfect matches."
"You mean you were paid big money to find THEM! You know, Mr. Devlin, that's against the law. I recognized some of those women from their pictures in the paper....kidnapping victims. And if your company is legitimate, why are you right now, preparing them to ride in the back of that vehicle parked in the back lot? Why should you hide them? I think, Mr. Devlin, you're in big trouble. You see, I know all your little secrets! You can't escape now. Soon the police will be here and they'll put you and any of your friends where you belong....behind bars!"
Mike loved the suspense...liked to make the guy sweat for a few moments wondering who it was telling him all this. Then he said, "You'll never forget the day you met Spirit Lad!"
