SYNOPSIS: Masters has told Coke that Hugo had planned what had happened to Coke in Epping Forest. He thought Coke would be killed in the crash and that the police would think he was the spy when they found the documents in his car. Coke wants Masters to take him to Hugo.
Masters told Coke that Hugo owned a large garage in the North of London. Cars that had been damaged were taken there to be repaired. It was also where the secret documents Hugo sold were kept before they were-micro-filmed and sent abroad.
They got into Masters' white Jaguar and drove there. Coke sat in front with Masters. Kate sat behind. It was almost evening when they got to the garage. It was at the end of a street and was surrounded by shops and small houses. They parked at the end of the street. People were beginning to close their shops and go home. The garage stayed open until six. Coke sat and watched the lights go off. When the last one had been turned off and the garage [bad word] dark. Coke turned to Masters again.
"Now tell me exactly where the documents are kept before they're sent off," he said.
At first Masters did not answer. He had [bad word] a little braver again.
Coke pressed the pistol into his stomach.
"Because of you, I've been kept in prison for four years. Because of
you. my life has [bad word]  I'll kill you here and now if you don't
answer!"
Masters looked at the pistol and went pale.
'They're kept in Hugo's office, in an ordinary file in his desk," he
answered. "And the microfilms?" Coke demanded. 'They're kept
there, too."
"Do you know if any documents have been sent off recently?"
"Some were sent last week. 1 know. I sent them myself," Masters
said. "And will there be any there now, waiting to be sent off?" Again
Masters hesitated. Coke pressed the pistol even harder into his stomach.
"I don't know. There might be. Hugo told me he was going to give
me some soon," he said.
Coke gave Kate the pistol. She was still sitting behind Masters. "Keep
him here until I get back," he said.
"But what are you going to do?" she asked.
"Break into that garage if I can. Perhaps 1 can find proof that Hugo
sells these things. If I do, I'll phone the police."
"But what if you don't? What if you're seen and caught before you
can find anything at all?" Kate asked. But Coke had already started
walking towards the dark garage. In the dark winter evening, it looked
very much like a prison.
