Before they could leave, the inn was suddenly flooded with military personnel and wit some onlookers who wanted to know what was happening. "Good day sir, how may I help you?" the person beyond the counter asked politely.
"Where are the people who checked in here yesterday?" one of the men asked while he was casually looking around.
Not wanting to offend these people the owner of the inn once again politely answered, "they left this morning and I haven't seen them return yet."
The man who asked gestured for the other officers with him to go up and check each room. The owner was offended but he still remained calm and once again asked, "what might be the problem officer?" Those guests had given him a generous amount of money, so he might as well defend them.
"We received a report that one of them attempted to hurt someone and a witness told us that he saw those people coming to this inn," the officer answered and did not give the owner anymore attention.
