make out what they were saying. Frustrated, he rushed back down the path to the

entrance into the garden. He poked his head around the brick column in time to

see Myers reach into her pocket and take something out. He snapped several

pictures as she handed it across to the man.

 

The man pocketed it and they both stood and headed toward where Puller was

hiding. Puller nipped around a large holly tree just before the pair appeared at

the garden entrance.

 

They passed by him and reentered the inn’s lobby. Puller followed and saw the

man head up the stairs while Myers left by the front entrance, no doubt headed

back to her car.

 

Puller debated what to do next. Follow the man or follow Myers?

 

He finally concluded that he knew where Myers had come from.

 

He figured he needed to find out more about the man.

 

Puller sat in the lobby and waited until the man came back down rolling a small

suitcase and carrying a leather briefcase over his shoulder. He headed to the

front desk. Puller got up and went out to his car. He watched a minute later as

the man came out and said something to the doorman. The doorman waved at a

waiting cab. It pulled up and the man got in.
