Danny woke up a few minutes after 5’o clock, he quickly went into the bathroom to shower, he put on his sports gear, and his sneakers and went to the gym located down the street.
As he exercised on the treadmill, thoughts of Wolfgang and his partner filled his mind. He wondered for a moment if he could penetrate through a member of Wolfgang’s staff, but he dismissed the thought as soon as he came, Wolfgang’s staff must have been suspicious of their boss, and would know that if he was behind those murders, then their lives are at risk, so they wouldn’t want to fraternize with anyone from the outside.
