The Titanic Secret
“He heard nothing, no voices, no footsteps. He guessed that meant they were all still in the corridor beside Kortig’s stateroom, on the other side of the internal door in the staircase lobby that marked the end of the passage. Tremayne again checked that the Colt pistol was ready to fire, and began descending the staircase, one step at a time, listening out for any sounds from the deck below.
He reached the lobby without incident. Turning left at the bottom of the staircase would take him back t...he way he had come, but obviously he wasn’t going to retrace the route he had followed with Vincent, because the moment he stepped through the doorway, he guessed that Voss would simply shoot him down.
