American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 144 Goodbye Amy
"Roy, why are you here? Come in!"

It was Molly who opened the door again. She opened the door and saw Roy and Mary.

Mary looked at the decoration in Keller's apartment with curiosity. Keller had many photos hanging on the walls of his home. These photos were taken by Pulinzer Prize winners and had considerable social significance.

"Roy, you're here! Who is this?"

Keller was very happy to see Roy, but when he saw that Roy brought a strange short-haired girl, the right side of his expression looked a little strange.

Keller was quite aware of Roy's fickleness. After all, she had seen two of them in Falls Town.

"Merry Hill, she's your junior, a law student at UCLA."

Hearing this, Keller's eyes lit up.

"Hello! I'm a 92 UCLA graduate with a master's degree in media. My name is Caleb Evans!"

When she heard that it was a senior who had already graduated, Meili's originally reserved attitude immediately changed.

"Keller Evans? I saw this name in the Los Angeles Times. Turns out she's my senior!"

The senior and junior students shook hands in a friendly manner.

"I do write for the Los Angeles Times. Have you read the article?"

"Of course, I really enjoy the news you write!"

Mary seemed to get along well with Keller, and they started chatting enthusiastically as soon as they met.

The two discussed some recent social events in Los Angeles. They both seemed to be very concerned about these hot topics.

Well, that's normal, one is a journalist and the other is a future lawyer.

It took Keller a while to remember that Roy was there too.

"Roy, what brings you to my house today?"

"Don't worry, you guys chat for a while. I've called Saltana, let's talk after everyone is here."

About half an hour later, Saltana arrived at Keller's apartment with a tired look on her face, but she also brought someone with her.

"Amy?"

Roy looked at the woman brought by Saltana in great surprise.

Amy (Kate Beckinsale) was someone Roy met during the Pinhole Hotel incident. She was later discovered by Saltana because of the dark web incident and was then handed over to the FBI for protection.

It was because of Amy's introduction that Keller found Roy to investigate his niece's disappearance.

Amy came up and gave Roy a warm hug.

"Nice to see you again, Roy!"

"I'm glad too!"

Amy is in good spirits and seems to have recovered from the loss of her husband.

He looked much more cheerful now, and no longer looked as haggard as he did at first.

"Amy, aren't you in the FBI's witness protection program? Why are you in Los Angeles?"

Saltana explained for Amy.

"The Austin dark web incident was quite a big deal, and that organization has now disappeared, so the FBI decided to stop protecting Amy, but will help her change her name and start a new life. It was me who suggested Amy come to the West Coast."

Keller was very happy to hear this.

"That's great. Saltana is also working in Los Angeles now, and Roy will come to UCLA to attend college in the second half of the year. It would be even better if Elena came too!"

It turns out that Keller also knows Elena.

That's right, Keller and Saltana are friends, and Saltana and Elena are friends, so the probability that Keller and Elena know each other is also quite high.

However, after hearing what Keller said, Roy and Saltana's expressions became a little strange. Maybe Elena would really come to Los Angeles in a few days.

At this time, Amy pulled Roy's sleeve.

"Roy, did you do that thing with Austin?"

Of course Roy couldn't admit it. After all, many big figures died in the private club incident. Although it was Isabella who did it, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't cause trouble for him as an accomplice.

Blinking his eyes, Roy gave a very playful look.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand anything at all."

Amy had already understood the truth from Roy's eyes. She breathed a sigh of relief, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Roy, the promise I made to you in Denver still stands."

This is about when in Denver, Amy promised Roy that if he helped her husband avenge his death, she would give him half of his inheritance.

Roy shook his head. Amy's husband David was just an ordinary middle-class man. Even if he took insurance into account, it would be good if he was worth a million.

Roy will receive tens of millions of dollars from FEA in a few days, so he doesn't need these few hundred thousand dollars.

"Amy, you should keep this money for yourself."

Amy looked Roy in the eyes, making sure he was serious before speaking.

"Okay, but if you don't keep it, I won't keep it either. I'll donate the money to someone in need."

This seems good.

The four women, one girl and one boy chatted for a while, drank afternoon tea, and then got down to business.

Saltana heard some brief information from Roy on the phone, but it was not detailed enough.

"Roy, is what you said on the phone true?"

Roy nodded.

"That dream was so real that I had to doubt it."

After experiencing the Nightmare on Elm Street, Saltana had some understanding of dreams, and since Roy had said that, she had no choice but to believe it.

"Roy, have you contacted Gerald?"

"I couldn't reach him. He left Los Angeles after what happened this morning."

Saltana also heard a little about the Slender Man incident last night.

"It seems that we will have to rely on ourselves to investigate for the time being."

Keller looked at Roy and Saltana in surprise.

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Saltana helped Roy explain.

"Roy dreamed about the corridor outside room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel last night."

Hearing this, all the girls showed surprised expressions, and even Molly, who rarely spoke, couldn't help but interrupt.

"Is that the famous demon room?"

Room 1408 is indeed well-known throughout the world, but there are still many people who are skeptical about this room, such as the male protagonist in the movie.

"Oh my god! I thought that room was just a ploy by the Dolphin Hotel to attract customers!"

Roy shook his head.

"That room is indeed the demon room. I don't even dare to go near it. Saltana, I've always been curious why Gerald kept that room, even though he could have sealed it off or destroyed it."

"I also asked Gerald about this, and he told me that the power of the demon room is very terrifying. The FEA once tried to destroy the room, which caused an earthquake in Los Angeles!" This should refer to the 1994 Los Angeles earthquake, the epicenter of which was in the Northridge area of ​​the San Fernando Valley, causing economic losses of billion US dollars.

Although Meili experienced the Slender Man and Cyber ​​Succubus incidents, she had not really come into contact with supernatural events, and she was a little skeptical when she heard Saltana's words.

"Saltana, could this be a coincidence?"

"The bureau doesn't dare to gamble! No one can be held responsible for hundreds of billions of dollars, not to mention so many lives."

After Saltana said this, everyone understood.

If you don't know beforehand and try it once it's excusable, but if you know the consequences and do it again it's a crime!

"So the previous FEA Los Angeles director had no choice but to buy out the Dolphin Hotel, completely control room 1408, and forbid anyone from approaching the 14th floor. After Gerald took over as director of the Los Angeles branch, he also continued this policy. But this is the first time I've heard of someone dreaming about room 1408."

It turned out that being stopped by the waiter on the 14th floor that day was not a coincidence, but someone was watching me.

But FEA didn’t even know that he could dream about room 1408. Could it be that this had never happened before?
That shouldn't be the case! Roy also saw the TV host Jack in his dream. Judging from what he said in the dream, this was definitely not the first time he had dreamed of the corridor of Room 1408.

And since that guy entered the corridor 1408 through the elevator, it can be seen that he probably has some way to actively enter the dream of 1408.

"Sister Saltana, doesn't the FEA have any records of dreaming about 1408?"

Saltana shook her head.

"At least I can't see it at my level. I don't know if Gerald knows."

Things are back to square one again. It's all Gerald's fault. He happened to leave Los Angeles at this time and the phone couldn't be reached.

"Okay, let's put aside the 1408 issue for now. Let's talk about something else. Keller, do you know Jack Derr, the night host of KABC-TV?"

"Is that the host of the late-night reality show 'Night Owls'?"

"Yes, that's him! Do you know anything about him?"

Keller frowned slightly.

"I actually know this guy. A few years ago, I reviewed Jack Del's show. At that time, he was still a more serious reality show host, and I used to be his loyal viewer. But since his wife passed away last year, his style has become more and more entertaining, and I haven't watched him anymore."

Is there such a thing?

Roy thought back to the episodes of "Night Owl" he had watched and felt that the host Jack was quite funny. It was surprising that such a person used to take a serious approach.

Could it be that he suddenly awakened like a certain Sa and turned into a Husky?
"Keller, I want to know more about Jack Del, preferably something related to his private life!"

This is a bit too much. America has always attached great importance to privacy. If someone asked Keller this kind of question, Keller would definitely ignore him.

After all, Keller is a reporter, not a paparazzi.

But now it is Roy who is making the request!
"I have a classmate who works at KABC-TV. He might know something about Jack Derr. Let me give him a call."

Keller took Molly into the bedroom. Her shoulder was still very inconvenient, and she needed Molly's assistance to do some things, including making phone calls.

After a few minutes, Kelly came out of the bedroom.

"My friend said that the matter is a bit complicated and it's best to talk about it in person."

"Let's talk in person. Is your friend coming to the apartment too?"

"No, I made an appointment with him at a cafe near the TV station. Let's meet him there."

It turned out to be a man. No wonder Keller didn't let him come home.

But then again, I'm a man too, so why would Keller be willing to let me join the family?

"Okay then! Mary, can you continue to drive for me?"

Mary nodded.

"Why let Merry drive, Roy, and you alone?"

Saltana was a little surprised, and then began to look at Roy carefully. Only then did she notice that Roy's face was unnaturally pale and his lips were not very bloody.

Meili answered Saltana a little embarrassedly.

"Roy has been seriously injured and is unfit to drive."

In fact, Roy can still drive, but he mainly wants to take advantage of Mary's guilt to improve her favorability.

But when Saltana heard that Roy was seriously injured, she almost jumped up.

"What, Roy, you're seriously injured? Is it because of the incident last night?"

Saltana only knew that Roy was involved in some incident last night, but she was not sure what it was.

After all, it’s been less than 24 hours since the Slender Man incident.

This made Saltana very distressed, as she really treated Roy as her younger brother.

"It's okay, Sister Saltana. I feel much better after a good sleep."

Saltana knew that Roy was not an ordinary person and could not be judged by normal standards, but she was still a little anxious.

"No! I need to tell Gerald that I'm going to take care of you at the hotel for the next few days!"

In fact, there are already many people taking care of Roy, including Heather, Penny, Dalia and Mary. The lineup is very luxurious.

But Roy certainly would not refuse Saltana's kindness, and he felt that Gerald might not grant Saltana leave.

"Sister Saltana, let's talk about this later. Let's go to the appointment first!"

Because they found out that Roy was injured, Saltana insisted on following him, so they had to take her with them.

In this case, Amy would be the only one left in Keller's apartment, which didn't seem so good.

Fortunately, Amy chose to resign on her own initiative. She still has to look for a job and a house in Los Angeles, so she will be very busy recently.

It is still a bit crowded for five people to sit in one car, but it doesn’t matter if they are all beautiful women.

Roy sat in the back row, with two beauties, Saltana and Keller, on his left and right. It felt really good.

The five people quickly arrived at a cafe outside the TV station, ordered a few cups of coffee and started waiting for someone.

I didn't have to wait too long, and before the steam from the coffee had even dissipated, a well-dressed man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked quickly into the cafe.

"Keller, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

The man seemed to have only Keller in his eyes, completely ignoring Roy who was sitting next to Keller.

As for Saltana, Meili and Molly, it was normal that they didn't notice because they were sitting next to each other.

Roy quickly determined that this man was Keller's veteran bootlicker.

"No, I just sat down for a while."

Keller's attitude was calm, neither enthusiastic nor cold, just like he was facing a passerby.

But the man with glasses licked it happily.

"Keller, did you just order coffee? Do you want some dessert?"

"No, let's get to the point! Roy, this is my college classmate, Andy Harrison. Andy, this is my good friend Roy Black, and he's the one looking for you."

The man with eyes, Andy, finally saw Roy.

Seeing the sunny and handsome Roy, Andy felt a little inferior for no reason, especially when he saw him standing close to Keller.

"Hello there!"

Amy (Kate Beckinsale)
