Escape - The Target

Victor Kennedy, along with his guide, Pepe Galvan, are sitting in a bar in Talca, Chile, waiting for a meeting with an informer named Perez, who should have some information as to the whereabouts of Arthur Madsen. Madsen has escaped into South America with 100,000 dollars of the bank's money, and Vic has been searching for him for about a year. Vic says "He's an hour late now, where is he?" Pepe says "Perez will be here. I watch with great care, he has not come in yet. Trust me, senor." Vic says "You're sure you know him?" Pepe says "I know Perez, senor". Suddenly, a woman screams! The entire bar gets quiet. Vic says "That's fine, all we need now is a beef. Go see what it's all about". Pepe sees that a man has been stabbed. He says "Senor Kennedy come here quickly". Vic says "What is it?" Pepe says "Look senor, there on the floor. He is dead". Vic says "That knife's got him pinned to the floor". Pepe says "I'm sorry for your sake, senor". Vic asks "What are you talking about?" Pepe says "The dead one. He is the one you are waiting for. He is Perez". A woman comes up to Vic and says "What happened?" Vic says "Forget it". She says "I've got to see". Vic says "You wouldn't want to. It used to be a man named Perez". She says "Listen, get me out of here now. I can't be found here". Vic says "Pepe, wait here for me. Come on lady, stay close to me". She follows Vic out the door and to a cab. She gets in and says to Vic "Aren't you coming?" Vic says "No, no you'll be all right. Cops will be here in a few minutes. They'll have a lot of questions". She says "Will you tell the driver to take me to the Cuevas Hotel?" Vic tells the driver in Spanish, then says to the woman "I'm at the Royale. Call me in an hour". She says "Who will I ask for?" He says "Kennedy, Vic Kennedy". She says "My turn. I'm Eve. Eve Coleman". Vic says "You'll call?" Eve says "In an hour". Later, when Vic gets back to his hotel, he asks the lady at the front desk "Any calls for me?" She says "No, senor". Vic asks her to contact Eve Coleman at the Cuevas Hotel. She makes the call. In a minute or two later. she says "I am sorry, senor, but there is no one registered there by that name".
