As he went down to breakfast, he collected the message from Doug and read it over a bowl of steaming porridge. He glanced at his watch. Katana should be at the hotel in about twenty minutes, everything was panning out well so far. After breakfast, he bought a newspaper and waited in the hotel lobby. The detective arrived on time dressed in a leather jacket two sizes too big. ‘It’s damn cold here,’ he said to Firdus by way of greeting. ‘You came on the bus?’ ‘Yes, I haven’t been here for two years, hardly know the place.’ Firdus smiled. ‘When I was a young man we would hunt impala for the pot where the hotel car park is now.’ ‘It’s hard to imagine. Did you talk to the minister sir?’ The detective asked. Firdus folded his newspaper. ‘We meet at ten thirty, let’s go up to my room, we can talk in private. Would you like breakfast?’ ‘Just a cup of tea, I ate before I got here.’ Firdus ordered the tea and they walked to the room. ‘Did you get someone to call Rubia about the body in the river?’ He shut the door and motioned Katana to a chair.
