—No luck then, John
—I’m afraid not, sir. Net yet, anyhow. We’re still checking on stolen cars.
—Mm.
—Where do you think he’ll head for, sir
—Well, he definitely won’t try to leave the country yet. tie may try to get a passport, and he’ll certainly need clothes and money. He’ll probably get in touch with Cornfield for those, so I expect he’ll make for Birmingham.
—Right. I’ll pat some men on the house.
—Yes, do that. Mind you, I doubt if he’ll show up there in person. Hammond’s not fool, you know. I think he’ll probably telephone.
—What about his wife
—Mm. I don’t think he’ll go anywhere near her, hough he might get her to join him after he’s left the country. And when he leaves, he probably won’t use a major airport, either. So you’d better alert the coastguard, and keep an eye on the private airfields.
—Right, sir. I’d better get his description circulated.
—Yes. He may change his appearance, of course, but I don’t expect he’ll be able to de much about the tattoos... And John be careful... He could be armed. As I know about Hammond, he certainly won’t give himself up without a fight.
