Speed Saunders: The Grogan Case (A Seamless Transition)

Disguised in his overalls, Speed advances carefully through the counterfeiters' lair.

Guess they got a new door after Speed atomized the previous one.

I like to stop and wonder where Speed got overalls. You know he doesn't own any. I bet he simply walked into the very first store he passed, which turned out to be a garden center, and bought the first thing he saw in his size. Think of the time he saved!

No closet jokes; Speed deserves better.

Right on time, Central Casting sends in the least reputable-looking counterfeiter-type on their books.

SURE HOPE NO ONE IS IN, SAY, THE CLOSET, LISTENING TO ME COMPLAIN ABOUT MY OCCASIONALLY INTERRUPTED COUNTERFEITING JOB.


Oh, I see now. Speed's wearing the SAME outfit as the counterfeiter.  Like the extra-terrestrial saying "I SHALL PASS AMONG THEM  UNDETECTED."  As if anyone's not going to recognize Speed Saunders!


Huh. I guess he doesn't recognize Speed Saunders.
Must be the overalls.


Again, Speed reassures the crook that he won't get hurt.  Speed's actually pretty nice when he's not shooting you.



Then Speed does what he certainly could have done the first time he entered the room; looks for he secret catch that activates The Revolving Wall, because OF COURSE there is a revolving wall.

If Speed says that something MUST BE, then the universe will make sure it happens, because the universe is not ABOUT to get on Speed Saunders' bad side.

Turns out it's... pretty easy to spot. It's the thing that looks like a secret latch.

Ace Investigators can distinguish SUSPICIOUS wall buttons from innocent ones with practiced ease.

After all, this isn't Speed's go round with
secret

panels.

Suddenly a rotating section of the wall magically has NO SEAMS.

I wonder whether it conveys.


Tomorrow: SPEED TRAP!
