The Serpentine Road
“It is nearly 1.30 a.m. when the local police get to talk with De Vries. Already, they have decided that it was an attempted robbery, and De Vries sees no reason to tell them differently. When the officer discovers his rank and standing, he defers to him entirely. What De Vries says, goes.
Eventually, the local officers amble away, seeming tired and aimless; there is no sign of Benny Louw. De Vries lies on his bed, gun in hand, dozing uneasily until about 6 a.m. He packs, walks around to recepti...on, finds it deserted. He enters the office in the back. There is no one there either, but he sees that the phone to the gate intercom is there, as well as a button to open and close the gates. He drops his key on the desk, returns to the front desk, then out into the courtyard. He looks over to the room adjoining the one where the man was attacked. His acquaintance, Richard Wessels, never appeared during the night; he wonders whether he slept through the attack or was in the arms of his Flamkuchen companion under a feather duvet.MoreLess
