Part 2, Chapter 6 Summary

Molly dreams that Mr. Black comes into her house while she is watching Colombo. She shouts at him that no one comes to her apartment since Gran died. She turns a laser stare on him, and he turns to dust, coating the room with dirt and making her cough and gag. Molly wakes and gets ready for work. As she is locking her apartment door, Mr. Rosso, her landlord, reminds her that her rent is overdue. She promises to pay it.

On her way into the hotel, Molly stops and asks Mr. Preston if anyone visited Mr. Black the day before. Mr. Preston says he didn’t see anyone. Molly encounters Mr. Snow at the reception desk. He shows her a newspaper article about Mr. Black’s death. The article mentions that Black Properties & Investments is accused of fraud and embezzlement, but so far, nothing has been proven.

Molly asks if Giselle is still staying in the hotel. Mr. Snow takes her toward a corner of the lobby and sits beside her. He tells her Giselle is on the second floor now, and Sunitha will be cleaning her room.
