He was able to get some much needed rest after arriving in Ottawa late the previous evening. He had checked in under an assumed name to help absolve him of anything he may do while in Ottawa, and his objective was the murder of Evan Troy.

Could you please tell me what room I can find Evan Troy in?” “Just a minute, sir. Let me check the admissions list.” The receptionist scanned the sheet a few times. “I"m sorry. There"s no one by that name here.” John was visibly agitated. “Are you certain? I was told that he would be here.” “I could check the list of names of patients scheduled to be admitted and see if he is expected to be here today.”
