December 28th, 1979.
I knew from the moment I crossed the doorstep that this wasn’t gonna be an ordinary job. Normally I just lay low until I can do what I gotta do, but I met too many people here that won’t leave me alone. And somehow, I get the feeling it may even lead me to finding Bradley…

Old man Dunning is the owner of Hotel Dusk, and the guy who told me the story behind Room 215. Still not sure what to make of that little tale. Dunning may be an old hick, but he ain’t stupid. He’s a stubborn man who dislikes cops, crooks and trouble in equal measure, so I think I’ll be best off not getting in his way too much.

Avoiding Rosa’s gonna be harder, as she’s always running around cleaning things up. She tends to talk too much, which could be quite useful as long as I don’t rub her the wrong way. Seems like her heart’s as big as her mouth – but I’m hardly the best judge of character. Who knows what she’s hiding?

And what to think of Louis? I’ve seen dumb before, but it’s not often I meet stupid. Experience tells me he doesn’t deserve my trust, but he doesn’t worry me too much either. Gotta make sure I find out where he stands though.

Then there’s Mila. Unfortunately, I have a short attention span – not the most helpful of qualities when solving a mystery – but I swear I’ve heard that name before. If only I could get her to trust me…
Soon it will be night, and I can’t say that fills me with happy
thoughts. The dark is a cover that lets people’s bad sides run wild.
Envy, doubt, grief… They all take over at night. These effects are not
lost on me either.
It’s been three years since I shot Brian
Bradley. He was my partner, and my friend – and he’s filled my head
with questions. Perhaps I can find the answers I’m looking for in Hotel
Dusk.
