Shadows In Durango

Chapter 81

*****Vincent's POV*****

I squint back at the receptionist, looking at her as though she had just grown two heads.

"What do you mean you just let them go upstairs?!" I snap, my voice growing louder and gaining the attention of some people nearby.

"Oh well they seemed to know your name Mr Walker and seemed nice enough, so I figured they were close to you! I didn't know you were out, but they came back down shortly after!" The receptionist defends herself, hammering against the keys to find the security footage of what they looked like.

"That's not the fucking point! You told them my apartment number like a fucking idiot! Who are you to give out my personal information without permission? Get me your manager!" I rage, furious at this point since I already felt on edge after what had previously gone on at the zoo and at bus station.

I turn to look over my shoulder, finding Sofia still seated at the couch area, hands clasped on her lap and her head hung low with anxiety.

We had just gotten back, deciding that we would be safe here, only for this bitch to call me over to say that some guys came here looking for me earlier and that she just sent them upstairs thinking I would be in! In what world is that ok?!

"Here it is." She says quickly, turning her screen to show me the footage from around two in the afternoon of the men in question entering the lobby.

"Sofia! Come over here!" I yell, motioning with my hand to her as she springs up to her feet and comes over to join me briskly.

The receptionist watches her carefully, her face full of concern which only causes for me to glare even harder than before.

"Miss, do you need anything... can I help you at all..." The woman asks carefully, eyeing Sofia as though she was being held against her fucking will.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean?! GET ME YOUR MANAGER!" I yell furiously, as Sofia holds my arm and begs me to lower my voice.

The woman's eyes are wide by now, as she pushes herself to stand and goes into the back room, her colleagues trying their best to ignore the situation to avoid becoming involved.

"Do you recognise any of them?" I lean across the counter and rewind the tape for myself, showing clearly the men who had been interested in seeing my apartment.

This could be anything...
