Alfie Wilson - Private Thread

[robertod]

About a month before the opening scene of the lecture, Professor Smith offered Alfie a small job. Smith was afraid to leave the house alone, expecially when he had to move to more places in London. In these situations, Smith paid Alfie (well enough) to be his bodyguard.
When asked about why, Smith was somewhat evasive.
"When I was in Turkey, some time ago.. I was looking for information about an ancient relic...
let's say that I had to use unusual means... that bothered a powerful and somewhat dangerous person. I learned he was seen in London those days... It´s just a precaution... you know?"

The second day Alfie was with Smith, he indeed spotted a suspect. A guy with a mustache of Turkish physiognomy, who seemed to follow him and the Professor. When the man realized he had been noticed he disappeared into the crowd.

"Ah.. I could not see him well, Alfie! But as you describe him.. yes it could be him!"

Never seen again. A week after the incident, Smith, smiling, told Alfie that everything was fine. He no longer needed to be accompanied.
