Half an hour later, Julia and Walt and the colonel reached their destination.
"I must be a mess," Julia apologized. "I haven't had time to change clothes or anything."
"I'll order you some," the colonel said.
They went immediately to the third floor.
"This is your room," the colonel told Walt, opening the door.
"I want to stay with Julia," Walt said.
"This is your room," the colonel said stiffly. He signaled the guard lounging at the end of the corridor. The guard came.
"This is your man," the colonel told the guard.
The guard nodded.
"He's not to leave."
