Chapter 72

“How did I meet the informant?”

“You ran into him at a bar and recognized each other since you both worked at a hotel down south. Now he’s the desk clerk at the Madison Hotel, but he’s quitting so he’s going to recommend you to the owner.”

“Back where I started,” Dylan said with a ghost of a smile.

“So I heard, but trust me, this hotel is not even close to the class of the one you were at.”

“Yeah, so I gather from the information I was given. When do I get to meet my new friend?”

“Tonight. His name is Frank. Then tomorrow he’ll take you to meet his boss. Any background checks the man runs on you will show you’re who you say you are.”

“Where do you fit in?”

“I have an apartment here, too. On the third floor. Anytime you find physical evidence on the men we’re after, you let me know and we’ll arrange to meet in the elevator so you can give it to me.”

“Cute,” Dylan muttered.
