They changed the subject, then, to the variety of pistols developed and
used by the opposing nations in World War II, and the difficulties ahead
of Cabot in assembling even a fairly representative group of them. Rand
promised to mail Cabot a duplicate copy of his list of the letter-code
symbols used by the Nazis to indicate the factories manufacturing arms
for them, as well as copies of some old wartime Intelligence dope on
enemy small-arms. At a little past one, he left Cabot's home and returned
to the Fleming residence.
There were four cars in the garage. The Packard sedan had not been moved,
but the station-wagon was facing in the opposite direction. The gray
Plymouth was in the space from which Rand had driven earlier in the
evening, and a black Chrysler Imperial had been run in on the left of the
Plymouth. He put his own car in on the right of the station-wagon, made
sure that the Leech & Rigdon was locked in his glove-box, and closed and
locked the garage doors. Then he went up into the house, through the
library, and by the spiral stairway to the gunroom.
The garage had been open, he recalled, at the time of Lane Fleming's
death. The availability of such an easy means of undetected ingress and
egress threw the suspect field wide open.
