The Star of Egypt

Antonio's smells of delicious Italian food when you step inside. You silently wish you had time to stop for a bite to eat, but crime stops for now man, so you march up to the front desk.

"Buon giorno!" A young lady with olive skin and black hair greets you with a smile and a thick accent. "Table per uno?"

"<No thank you>*" you respond with a smile. "<Actually, I was just wondering if a young man by the name of Matthew Winston came here last night around ten o'clock.>"

"Matthew Winston?" The girl picks up a folder and skims through it. "<Ah, yes!>" she exclaims when she stops on a page. "<He was here with a woman named... Peggy Keaton.>"

"Peggy Keaton?" you say in surprise. "<Are you sure?>"

"<Very,>" the girls replies. "<I remember him because he paid with a credit card.>" A couple steps in through the doors behind you. "<Will that be all, ma'am?>"

"<Yes, you've been a big help. Thank you.>" You turn around and walk outside the building. That explains why Peggy was so secretive about her whereabouts last night. She's been seeing Matthew in secret. Well, at least I have an alibi for both of them now.
