CHAPTER 16

Lilliana stood on the balcony of the room and looked out into the dark purplish sky. She was on night duty and would be there until 7am when Marta came in.

Lilliana walked back into the small darkened room at the front of the second floor of the Elsinor Hotel which Marta used as an office and registered hotel guests. She slumped down on the sofa then crossed her legs in a frustrated gesture. She looked at the clock on her cell phone. It was four minutes past midnight and he was already half an hour late. Five minutes later she heard the lock on the door at the bottom of the stairs being opened. She positioned herself by the door and grabbed Luis roughly by the arm and pushed him into the center of the room as soon as his foot touched the second floor.

“What the hell are doing woman?” Luis said with irritation in his tone.

“What am I doing? What the hell are you doing to me is what I should be asking. I got state police asking me about missing tourists. What the hell am I supposed to tell them?”

“Police talking to you, why?” Suddenly Luis was paying attention. First Antonio suddenly dead, now this.

“Why? I should be asking you why. You tell me to do things and I do them and the next thing I know people are acting suspicious of me. Marta is asking all kinds of questions about what I told them and everything” Lilliana said.

“What do you mean?” Luis said, not sure of what tack to take with her.

“I mean everything. You told me to fuck the British guy didn’t you? If you remember that wasn’t my idea, that was your idea. When he said he wanted the same girl the second night, you said that Chi Chi wasn’t available and asked me to do it as a favour to you, because you didn’t want to lose the money, remember. You never said anything about the guy was going to be dead did you” Lilliana responded.

“Dead? I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Who is dead?” Luis asked.

“Montgomery, the same one that fucked Chi Chi, and who you told me to fuck. He was found dead in Sancti Spiritus” Lilliana told him.

“When?”

“I don’t know, a couple days ago, I guess. All I know is that the state police came around here asking a lot of questions.”

“Why would they ask you questions?”

“Cos they found my door key on him.”

“Your door key? How did he get your key?”

“How the fuck should I know.”

“You didn’t mention my name when they talked to you did you?” Luis asked her.

“No but I should have. I should have told them everything about how you said Chi Chi wasn’t available of the second night and then you asked me to fuck him instead, and to look for things in his room.”

“You got paid well didn’t you so what you got to complain about?” Luis said looking irritated and concerned as he started to bite his bottom lip out of nervousness.
