Chapter 9
The next day, there was a knock at Antoinette's door. Antoinette opened the door to the most exquisite man anyone has ever seen. He was everything, tall, dark, and handsome. He had long, dark, wavy hair that fell to his mid-back and was tied in a ponytail at the base of the neck. The dark hair accentuated his blue eyes that were alluring. He was wearing a very flattering black, double-breasted suit and a black wool overcoat. He carried a walking stick with a silver lion's head. "Hello, Arthur! How are you?"
"Hello, I'm fine. May I come in."
"Absolutely."
"You do know that I have a plan?" he said with his beautiful, flowing, English accent.
"Yes, of course."
"I will go to Pat's house with you following behind me. After I've been with her for an hour or so, you will do your job. I will have not part in her death. Since your leaving this area, why not come visit me for awhile?"
"I'd love to!"
"Wonderful, we act tonight. Do you have a guestroom so I can rest?"
"Yes, follow me." She took him to the very room that Jim had stayed in. Arthur was pleased with the room. "I hope you will be comfortable here."
"Yes, this is fine. I'll see you tonight. Meanwhile, I think you should rest yourself. You have a long night ahead of you. You will need your strength."
"Your right. I will go in a couple of minutes." She went downstairs and picked up the phone to call Simons's office, but she put it down. "I will call him tonight and tell him not to worry," she said to herself, and then went to bed.
