The Safe in the Suite
The Twelve Winds, a hotel on the coast road, out of season. The suite was taken by a guest who kept a necklace locked away, valued at more than the house bills in a whole year. At seven in the morning the safe stood open and empty, without a single mark of a lever. The door was not forced, and the night register records nobody coming in.

I was hanging around the guest rooms. Rupert was right there with me. Rupert is telling you a pack of lies.

The laundry is where I was. What Fabian is telling you is a lie.
