The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The White Moll by Frank L. Packard: coolness. "There are two men in our organization from whom it is
absolutely impossible that that leak could have come. Those two
men followed you from Perlmer's office to this place. They are in
the next room now waiting for me to get through with you, and ready
for anything if they are needed. But they won't be needed. That's
not the way it works out. This gun won't make much noise, and it
isn't likely to arouse the inmates of this dive, but even if it
does, it doesn't matter very much - we aren't going out by the front
door. The two of them, the minute they hear the shot, slip in here,
and lock the door - you see it's got a good, husky bolt on it - and
then we beat it by the fire escape that runs past that window there.
