CHAPTER 11: SETTLING IN.

Gomez headed out of the study, in obedience to Mr Bishop's instruction. Making his way through the main entrance, he sighted Justin standing outside the house.

He stood there for some minutes, Justin couldn't take notice of his presence. And for a moment, he noticed how Justin was troubled. He had both his hands on his head, squinting his eyes, and sighing frustratedly.

Immediately, Gomez returned to the study. He was granted permission to enter the study by Mr Bishop.

"Anything the matter?" Mr Bishop asked.

"Justin seems restless and unsettled."

"Mm," Mr Bishop sighed, tapping one of his fingers on the table. "Go and get him settled in."

"Right away sir," Gomez responded and bowed as he exited the study.

He quickly sent one of the guard to go fetch the chief steward of the Bishop estate, summoning him immediately. Shortly after, the chief steward arrived with a sense of urgency.

"Yes," Gomez responded.

"Coming right up," the bartender nodded, as he went ahead to serve Gomez the drink. Gomez received it, and chugged it down with one gulp, gently placing the cup on the counter. And took a deep breath.'Where could he be? I've looked round this bar and there is no sign of him,' Gomez reasoned within himself."Am looking for someone, the informant. Do you know where I can find him? Gomez asked the bartender."I don't have any idea," he replied sluggishly."You sure don't know where he is?" Gomez persisted.
