...discovered that no one was in school that day because of flooding and the tornado watch. We toured the town of three or four thousand a little too thoroughly for my taste, then holed up at the Kentucky Fried Chicken place by a pay phone to call Penny's go-between Jilly. There weren't many other places. A Spin-a-Pin six-lane bowling center, a few 7-11s, and the remnants of a destroyed drive-in movie screen torn up by a tornado while Gone With the Wind was playing, said Jilly. It's that kind...

He requires Julie as a go-between to trade for his asylum a nice piece of intelligence: the name of Russia's top agent in Britain...
...next day the kidnapers' plan went off with suspense-novel precision. Still blindfolded, the editor was driven from his second night's lodging-which he thought was "an out-of-state motel"-toward Atlanta. At intervals, the kidnapers stopped to make telephone calls-once to find a go-between, who turned out to be a 17-year-old high-school senior named Pam Grant, another time to let a friend of Minter's hear Murphy's voice...
