Chapter 208
Fannie replied. “Yeah… yeah…”
She seemed to hesitate, a frown creasing her brow.
A few seconds passed, but she still didn’t say the name.
Looking at her, Astrid softened her tone, “You look beat. Once we’re done here, you can get some shut–eye.”
After a few moments, Fannie finally spoke, “I don’t know who he is. That day, Warren Santos got the rooms mixed up. He sent you to a stranger’s
room.”
Astrid had suspected that Fannie might not know the man’s identity, but she was still a bit bummed. “Warren Santos said you went to the hotel the next day. Did you see the guy from the next room?”
Upon hearing Astrid’s words, Fannie fell silent.
She furrowed her brows and was lost in thought.
After a while, she said, “I saw him.”
Astrid got a bit antsy, “What did he look like? How old was he?“–
“When I came out of the elevator, he was coming out of his room and heading down the corridor. I didn’t see his face. His clothes were baggy, and he had a hat on… I’m not sure if his leg was injured or if he naturally limps.”
Limping?
A cripple?
Astrid frowned slightly, then asked, “Any other details? Was he with anyone else?”
“People?” Fannie paused for a moment, “There were two guys following him, one fat and one thin. The thin one called the fat one Quincy. Yeah, Quincy. And they were going… somewhere, I didn’t catch it…”
Quincy?
Doesn’t sound like a real name.
