William clenched his fists and looked up at Linda behind the glass.
«Are you alright? What’s wrong?» she asked.
«This is Sofia’s daughter, I’m certain of it,» William said approaching the glass. «She stayed with that person who’s behind all this, see?» he stopped and realised that the only person that could help was sitting right in front of him. «Linda, listen to me,» he whispered. «Can you find Thomas Wilson for me? My partner, the detective officer… He’s been transferred to the Phoenix’s office; can you find him and tell him I’ve remembered something?»
Suddenly, Linda pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling. She removed her mask and took out a napkin to wipe her nose.
«I’m sorry, I wanted to make you feel better. I’m so sorry. I’ve got a lot of time, though, now, as I’ve got no job, the channel is closed. I think I might be able to move to Phoenix and find work, although it might be difficult.»
«Really?» William couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. «Then, I beg you, write down what I’ve asked you… shit, there isn’t a pen and paper. Okay, try and remember what I’ve asked you and write it down, when you get out of here. Contact Jimmy Huston in the police office, he should tell you where Tom is now.»
«I will, don’t worry,» Linda said with a reassuring tone.
«So, listen. When I entered the hotel room, Fred Brown called me «Dannie’. Let Tom find everyone with this name in the cases I’ve investigated. I’m certain that this «Danny’ must’ve lived here in the city. This man is close to the real killer and he must be found – he’s very important. I’m certain that my granddaughter is with him. Please tell Tom about this, and stop crying. I’ve got two life sentences to serve. Thanks for coming Linda, it’s not for nothing, I’m certain. Yes, justice hurts, but I’ll await your return.»
