Jeff Regan, Investigator - The Man Who Liked Mountains

Jeff Regan was at home last Monday night about six o'clock when the phone began ringing. It was Melody calling for Mr. Lyon. Jeff says "Tell him I'm out and you can't find me". Melody says "That's no attitude, here he is". Mr. Lyon says "Regan, I got a job for you to do". Jeff says "You can tell me all about it tomorrow morning. So long". Lyon says "Now wait a minute. It's got to be taken care of now, tonight". Jeff says "Look, I worked hard all day. I'm tired, get somebody else". Lyon says "I told him you'd be there in 15 minutes. Now, take this down. His office is in the Taft Building, right by your place. He's an attorney named Collins Knight". Jeff says "Collins Knight? What rock did you look under for him?" Lyon says "Now, don't be smart, just because the guy serves little time once". Jeff says "And gets himself disbarred, re-entered, and tied up with every piece of gambling from here to Reno". Lyon says "I'm not interested in who they are or what they've done, as long as they can pay the bills. Collins Knight is the one who can do it, so hop over there and find out what's what. And call me if you run into any trouble". Regan goes to see Collins Knight. He says "Regan, I asked you to come here because I want you to find Big Ed Kitteridge for me. He's been missing for three days, according to his wife. Jeff says "From pictures I've seen of Big Ed he'd be a hard man to miss". Collins says "Yeah, I figured the same way, but, being gone for three days. I think someone's either cooled him off or he's on the lamb".
