I have no idea where to go. If someone was following me earlier, it seems pretty clear that it won’t be safe for me to go home. Instead, I head for the library and use a computer to try to look up this Martin Keller guy online, but all I can find is a reference to some guy with the same name who disappeared around here in the 40s. Giving up, I head over to a cafe to get a soda. I only have about $2 in my pocket, but I can make a cheap soda last all afternoon while I try to work out what to do. Still, as I head along the street, I realize the car that was following me earlier is back.

I head straight down an alley, figuring that there’s no way the car can follow me. Hurrying along, I come out on another street and glance around, just as the car comes round the corner. I turn and walk away quickly, wondering what to do. Ever since I found Martin Keller in Vincent and Patrick’s home, I’ve been feeling increasingly that there’s something very wrong. And why did I get that note, asking me to help, when the only thing I was going to find down in the house was Keller?

I turn down another alley, figuring I can try to lose the car again, perhaps by taking a backdoor into one of the buildings. But as I try to work out a route, I feel a hand on my shoulder and I turn.

“Relax,” says Vincent, who has snuck up behind me.

“What’s happening?” I blurt out, relieved to see him but worried by the serious expression on his face. He’s such an old man, clearly in his 70s or 80s, but he usually has young-looking eyes. Right now, however, he looks haunted and tired.

“We need to talk,” says Vincent, glancing over his shoulder. “Somewhere safe. Come with me”.

He starts walking past me, but I grab his arm. “I’m being followed,” I say.

“I know. Come on”. He starts heading down the alley and I follow, We soon reach a large iron door in the back of a building. Vincent reaches into his pocket and pulls out a long, thin key which he inserts into the lock. After a moment, there’s a click and he pushes the door open. We go inside.

“They won’t find us here,” he says. We’re in what appears to be a small storeroom of the Marrimont Hotel, one of the biggest and most upscale hotels in town. All around us, there are shelves full of toilet rolls, towels and other items.

“What’s going on?” I ask. “Where’s Patrick?”

“One thing at a time,” says Vincent, looking about as if he’s still worried that we’re being followed. “Have you been to the house today?”

I nod. “There was this guy -”

“Martin Keller,” says Vincent.

“Yeah. Who is he?”

Vincent seems preoccupied. “He’s a very dangerous man. You’re lucky to be alive. There must be a reason”.

“A reason I’m still alive?”

Vincent nods.
