The man who escaped
(Episode 12)
1. Kate led Coke to a table and then went to the bar to get their drinks. «Masters isn't here», Coke said.
«Surely you didn't expect to walk in and find him, just like that?» «No, I suppose not».
They had been there for over an hour. More people came in, but Masters was not among them. It was
getting towards closing time when the barman came to their table. «May I take you empty glasses?» he asked
politely. Coke touched him on his sleeve. «Does a man named Eric Masters ever come in here?» he asked. He
did not notice the man standing at the bar who stared at him in the mirror when he mentioned Masters' name.
