Boston Blackie - Millicent Bromley Kidnapped

Inspector Faraday is talking to officers of the Homicide Department. He says "We have to find that woman, you understand. We have to find that girl!" Carlson says "Inspector Faraday, we can't hear you when you pound your desk like that". Faraday says "You'll pound a beat, if you don't find the Bromley girl, Carlson. And the same goes for the rest of you". An officer says "We're the Homicide Department. How come the pressure's on us to find her?" Faraday says "Because the pressure's on the whole force. What have we done so far?" Thompson says "We've got every radio car in the city in operation. We've called in all off duty men, and cancelled all...."Faraday says "I know what we've done, Thompson, and I know what we haven't done too. We haven't found Millicent Bromley. She's just a 22 year old, see. A girl who's done nobody any harm, see, and she's in the hands of thugs, see. Now, we're supposed to be policemen. We're supposed to protect the people of this city from accidents and crimes, yet we can't even help a 22 year old girl". Suddenly, Faraday's telephone starts ringing. He picks it up and says "Faraday speaking". The voice on the line says "Inspector Faraday, this is Shorty, you know, Boston Blackie's friend". Faraday says "Yeah, I know who you are, Shorty. So, don't bother me. I'm busy". Shorty says "Yeah, I know that, Inspector Faraday, that's why I'm calling. I can make you un-busy". Faraday says "Oh you can, can you? Well, isn't that nice. Now, look, Shorty, I've got...." Shorty says "You've got to listen to me, Inspector Faraday, Blackie's out of town...." Faraday says "Oh, Blackie's out of town is he? That's wonderful. Now, why don't you get out of town, too?" Shorty says "I just talked to Blackie's girlfriend, Mary Wesley. She talked to Blackie in California". Faraday says "So what? What do I care? I'm looking for a missing girl". Shorty says "I know you are. You're looking for Millicent Bromley". Faraday says "Yes I am. And I suppose you know right where she is". Shorty says "I sure do, Inspector Faraday. She's right here in my room".
