Little Misunderstanding - Part III

Well, that certainly sounded plausible but I was still a tad puzzled by both the revelation of this added wrinkle to the scandal that I was currently trying to cover along with the way the news was reaching my ears. Why was this hotel employee so keen on revealing this information and why was it coming at this point in time?
On the surface it appeared that this was an almost miraculously fortuitous set of coincidences. My spidey sense was tingling on this though and I wasn’t immediately willing to jump on this tangential stream of evidence in total deference to the original story that I had come to this locale to cover. Still it was just juicy enough that I didn’t want to ignore it completely.
I decided to try to hedge my bet. I took down the information that the staff member was all too willing to give up. I tipped him a twenty-dollar bill for his trouble and then turned that portion of the story over to my intern, Bill Boswell to shake down.
He circled around to the rear of the hotel and waited for this starlet to appear with a small camera crew in tow. I headed downtown to the state legislature’s building campus to cover further disclosure from the commission. I told Boswell if any of this panned out to call my cell and keep me posted.
Once I arrived at the press room of the main lobby of the Senate building, I encountered the usual swamp of press corps that were all jockeying around trying to joust for position around the flunky that they had sent out to greet the press around the commission’s findings.
Our senator was nowhere to be seen. My sources were covering the airports and train terminals to see if he were simply going to leave town and where he might be headed if that was indeed his intention. I also asked around the senator’s office staff to see if there was any change to his posted itinerary since this morning’s news story broke.
His office staff was relaying only that no changes to the posted itinerary were made. The senator was going to be returning home in the next day to spend the holiday with his family. The allegations were false and all was right with the world…
I hadn’t heard from Boswell in the last hour so I rang him up and asked if there was any spotting of the actress or any other happenings of note going on back at the hotel. He said that he hadn’t seen hide nor hair of the starlet but that he though there might be something happening in the front of the hotel as there seemed to be some police cars arriving. I told him to check that out and get back to me if it looked like there was anything related to our story or the senator.
He said he would do just that and was instructing the camera crew to retain a vigil at the rear vantage point in the meantime. I concurred that this sounded like a good plan of attack.
It seemed that the only thing to do was to sit tight and see if any strangeness was going to ensue.
