From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Deller.
Johnny, this is George Reed.
Well, hiya, George. What's troubling Floyd to me on this time?
Johnny, one of our clients, only quite frankly, he's far more than just a client. Oh?
Yes, his life is being threatened. Oh. George, you know I hate these bodyguard assignments. Every time I handle one of them, it ends up with my own life being in danger. I fully realize that. Yeah, one of these days, my luck may run out.
Why is Johnny Dollar hesitant about bodyguard assignments?
Heaven forbid.
Nonetheless, Johnny... If somebody needs protection, why don't you just call in the police?
Well, there are certain, well, confidential aspects of this case that... Well, if any sort of publicity can be avoided... Johnny... Yeah? If it can in any way help to minimize the danger to yourself, I'll gladly go along with you on this one.
You...
You mean literally, physically go along with me?
Yes.
Well, now, George, that's not the way I usually like to work.
I know, but as I told you, this involves a man who is more than just a client.
Yeah? Then what does that mean?
It's my brother, Johnny.
My own brother.
Oh. Yes. Okay, George. I'll be able to see you. Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of a man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
The End
Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Floyd's of England, North American office, Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the twin trouble matter. Expense account item one, $1.20 for a taxi over to George Reed's office at Floyd's of England in downtown Hartford. I found him pacing the floor waiting for me. And needless to say, he didn't waste any time getting down to business. As I told you over the phone, Johnny, this matter involves my brother, my twin brother Adam. Oh, you're a twin? Yes, we're identical in every way, except perhaps for our manner of speaking. Why is that?
What past events led to the current blackmail situation?
Well, you see, Adam completed his education at the University of Dublin, whereas I stayed on in England, then did postgraduate work over here. Oh, I see. About 18 years ago, Adam and his wife came here to the United States. Is he also with some branch of Floyd's of England? No, Johnny, Adam owns a small brokerage office down in Newark, New Jersey. He lives in a nearby town called Upper Montclair. Say, tell me, has this business of his anything to do with the threat against his life? Everything, I'm afraid. Now, don't tell me he went around selling a lot of worthless stocks and bonds and now somebody wants to get even with him. Of course not. Adam is a completely honest, reliable dealer in legitimate security.
Then what's the trouble? Well, you see, when he first arrived in this country, he traveled around quite a bit, not only sightseeing, but looking for a good business connection. I guess. Well, on the West Coast, he met two men. Shockley and Barron, independent stockbrokers. They seemed to like him immediately, offered to take him in with them. Well, since his funds were beginning to run out, he jumped at the chance.
