I was confused and surprised with this new information. But I wasn't surprised with the fact that everyone that had worked for Olaf had parents in V.F.D.
I went to visit the Baudelaires. They were in concierge uniforms and wore dark sunglasses with red hats.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Kit needs us to go undercover to find out if the J.S. in Hotel Denouement is a spy or volunteer," Violet said. "Come on Klaus, Sunny; let's go."
They went down to the lobby and I was pretty hungry, so I took the elevator upstairs to a restaurant.
None were open except some Indian restaurant. I was really into Italian food or some Mongolian barbecue, but I decided to go anyway.
Some guy wearing a turban who I could tell was American stood at a podium. He was old, and he wore small glasses. He was Hal, former keeper of the records at Heimlich Hospital.
I placed an order, and it took quite a long time.
Then I saw VP Nero, Mr. Remora, and Mrs. Bass whom I'd heard of from Prufrock Preparatory where Duncan and Isadora were kidnapped, walking in and sitting at a table.
Sunny Baudelaire was there as well, in her concierge disguise. I waved to her and she waved back.
"Hi Quigley," she said.
I smiled. "Hi, Sunny. How's the job?"
"So so," she said, jiggling a small hand. "Eating?"
"Yes," I said. "Would you like something to eat, Sunny?"
She shook her head. "Working." Then she said, "Frank or Ernest?"
She gestured to Hal and a Denouement twin, or triplet, talking. I squinted. "Neither," I said. "Dewey Denouement."
She frowned. "Dewey?" I nodded.
"Deweysaf?" she asked.
"Yes, he's safe," I said. "He's noble and he's a sub-sub-librarian. He'll meet you tonight."
She nodded and walked off.
