The Surprise

"Genius, fucking genius," said Barry, "so that's why you excused yourself earlier, well played. But how do you know it's my room she's in?"

"Cam.1 is your room, see this," Brian showed him.

Barry nodded looking at the phone, then he sat back and drank his wine before raising his hand and waiving at Donna who had waved first.

"Boss, what does she want from you? Why's she following you around?" Asked Brian.

"Oh! I...it's my fault. I made a blunder, I told them I saw the shooter at the grocery store."

"Grocery store?" Asked Brian puzzled.

"Yeah, I happened to run into a Dragonian thug at a grocery store. He was robbing the place, so I shot him and his partner down."

"Oh!" Brian wasn't surprised.

"Yeah, so now they must think I'm in danger. They probably think 'the shadow' is after me. They couldn't have figured out that I'm the shadow."

Brian Hayes nodded in agreement.
