Only two people in this house knew about the ledger page: Max and Trina.
It seems that one of them must have betrayed me. I discount the
possibility of one of Gustav's goons having tracked me down. If one had
then I'm sure that I'd have known all about it, since I have the
impression that they go in for brute force rather than for subtlety.
-
Trina still appears to be sleeping soundly, so it seems that Max must have taken the page. He probably hopes that if he turns it over to Gustav he will reduce the amount that he extorts from him.
-
Trina is gone. In her line of work, I doubt that she's normally an early riser. It looks like it I was wrong to trust her. I suppose she hopes to be well rewarded by Gustav.
-
Then Max appears in the doorway. "Ah, you're awake," he says. "Don't worry, I hid your precious page somewhere where it would be safe for the night. You were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't want to wake you to inform you."
