What's wrong? demands Sabrina, immediately becoming edgy. I don't know, says Quentin, and explains about the girl at the Eagle and the check Cyrus wrote yesterday. Cyrus was at the Eagle yesterday? Sabrina asks. No, says Quentin, he gave the check to some roughneck who tore up the place and gave a check in payment. I'll be able to tell, she says, I balanced Cyrus' records yesterday; he's one of the few scientists who can't subtract. . .there are two checks gone, she says--I know they were there when I finished--do you know this man's name? No, he responds, he said he was a friend of Cyrus', but the girl didn't seem to think he was Cyrus' sort, and found the connection odd. Sabrina thinks it over, and says, last week, I found an IOU made out to Cyrus from a man Cyrus claimed was an old friend--John Yaeger. You never saw Yaeger? asks Quentin.No, she answers, but it couldn't have been Yaeger--no friend of Cyrus' would come and take his checks--unless...something has happened to Cyrus--suddenly afraid, she says, I know something is wrong--he said he would call last night, but didn't--that Yaeger must have him someplace! Quentin tries to reassure Sabrina, and says, if he does have Cyrus, I'll find him, he promises.[/spoiler]
