When the dryer stopped running, he pulled out his vintage M11-B pistol and held it in his hand
The door opened and she appeared wrapped in a towel When she saw him she leapt back and screamed
He said nothing, did nothing
When she saho it was she stopped screa and stared incredulously at him
“P-Paul? W-what are you doing here?”
Her gaze fell on the gun and she took another step back
He stood and gripped the pistol
“What are you doing here? How do you even know about this place?”
“I followed someone here once”
“Why?”
“Because I needed information”

“I need to find Quentin Where is he?”
“I don’t know But why do you need to find him?”
“He knows somebody I need to find”
“Who?”
“He works for Atalanta Group Did you know that?”

“Claire Jericho”

“So you know her?”
