The Coffee Cup 04
Everyday, a half-empty cup of coffee was on that table when I opened and the chair was pulled back. I knew the restaurant manager inspected the dining room before locking up at night, so I believed the dinner crew when they denied leaving it. The only employee on duty at night was one of two graveyard shift desk clerks, yet they both denied doing it and it really made no sense for them to leave the front desk unattended and risk being fired just to go through the hassle of unlocking the dining room to sit in there and drink coffee at a back table when there was coffee and a television at the front desk. The hotel had no security guard, so that was not an available explanation either.
Around the end of August, I again got to the dining room after the kitchen crew had turned on the kitchen lights. As I entered the dining room, I again saw the silhouette of someone sitting at that table. I was not going to let the person escape again before finding out who it was, so without turning away to turn on the lights, I walked straight across the dining room toward where this person was seated.
神秘的咖啡杯 04
每天我開(kāi)門(mén)后,都會(huì)看到一個(gè)半空的咖啡杯放在桌上,椅子被拉了出來(lái).我知道飯店的經(jīng)理每天晚上鎖門(mén)前都會(huì)檢查餐廳,所以我相信餐廳職員的話,那杯子不會(huì)是他們放的.晚上就只有兩個(gè)值夜班的接待人員之一在前臺(tái),可是他們也說(shuō)自己沒(méi)去過(guò)餐廳,而且他們也沒(méi)有道理會(huì)把前臺(tái)放著不管,然后冒著會(huì)被開(kāi)除的危險(xiǎn),不怕麻煩地打開(kāi)餐廳門(mén),坐在一張靠進(jìn)廚房的桌子旁喝咖啡,況且前臺(tái)有咖啡喝,有電視看.酒店沒(méi)有保安,所以我也找什么別的什么解釋了.
八月底的一天,我到餐廳的時(shí)候,廚房的員工已經(jīng)開(kāi)了廚房的燈.我進(jìn)餐廳時(shí),我又一次看到了有人坐在那張桌子旁的側(cè)影.我要找到這個(gè)人到底是誰(shuí),再也不能讓他跑掉了,所以我沒(méi)有轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)去開(kāi)燈,而是直接穿過(guò)餐廳查那個(gè)人坐的地方走過(guò)去.
