OK so now we go waaay back to where we left off at the end of Part 1 of the story. Hugo is chained up in a hotel room by China Sweet and the Valkyrie. The last thing that happened in that chapter was that they played a tape recording of a voice and Hugo recognized the voice as Allison! We continue on now.
There's some general talking and threats, then they listen tot he tape again. Allison represents Margaret Ball, they want Glendennig to release her sisters (the hidden secretary girls) with no funny business, or she'll release copies of the paper (the one Hugo is supposed to looking for!). She also uses the word "chokeville" which is the first time it's appeared in the story I believe. Although we're not quite sure what she means.
Then they listen to it again, Hugo says he can tell from the tape where Allison/Margaret are located, and they head out to Glendenig's.
