....Hilary had just got inside the sleeper compartment when he heard the fire shot, his pace became faster and moved towards the double bed at the other side, The train jolted and he lost his balance hitting himself against the corridor wall, he recovered his balance to hear a noise coming from ahead, he reached the spot to freeze to see the inspector bending over to check someone who was half inside the coupe and half in the gallery, there was a pool of blood around, he approached his father to see below , it was j j Mac swinging in the arms of the inspector, be was hit by a bullet, Hilary bent over to place his left hand on his father's shoulder
He was crossing the gallery when he heard the fire shot explained the inspector halting, the sound had come from within the coupe gesturing towards the coupe, the door was shut and he was about to use force to open it when it suddenly opened and j j fell into the gallery, he tried to break his fall, , jj looked into his eyes and tried unsuccessfully to say something before becoming silent
Hilary asked his daddy what did he say
Forget it it isn't anything important
It won't help, he is dead, the inspector looked at his son, he realized he was eager to know what was the dying man's last words
