Brown,

30,

played

a

very

important

role

in

ending

the

nationwide

manhunt.

Vicki,

who

has

worked

at

the

Royal

Hotel

for

four

years,

told

of

her

terrible

experience

when

she

had

to

steal

into

Bieber’s

bedroom

and

to

watch

him

secretly.

Then

she

waited

alone

for

three

hours

while

armed

police

prepared

to

storm

the

building.She

said:

"I

was

very

nervous.

But

when

I

opened

the

hotel

door

and

saw

20

armed

policemen

linedup

in

the

car

park

I

was

so

glad

they

were

there.”The

alarm

had

been

raised

because

Vicki

became

suspicious(怀疑)

of

the

guest

who

checked

in

at

3

pm

theday

before

New

Year’s

Eve

with

little

luggage

and

wearing

sunglasses

and

a

hat

pulleddown

over

his

face.

She

said:“He

didn’t

seem

to

want

to

talk

too

much

and

make

any

eye

contact(接触).”

Vicki,

the

only

employee

on

duty,

called

her

bosses

Margaret,

64,

and

husband

Stan

McKale,

65,

who

phoned

the

police

at

11

pm.Officers

from

Northumbria

Police

called

Vicki

at

the

hotel

in

Dunston,

Gateshead,

at

about

11:30pm

to

makesure

that

this

was

the

wanted

man.

Then

they

kept

in

touch

by

phoning

Vicki

every

15minutes.“It

was

about

ten

past

two

in

the

morning

when

the

phone

went

again

and

a

policeman

said

‘Wouldyou

go

and

make

yourself

known

to

the

armed

officers

outside?’.

My

heart

missed

a

beat.”Vicki

quietly

showed

eight

armed

officers

through

passages

and

staircases

to

the

top

floor

roomand

handed

over

the

key.“I

realized

that

my

bedroom

window

overlooks

that

part

of

the

hotel,

so

I

went

to

watch.

I

couldnot

see

into

the

man’s

room,

but

I

could

see

the

passage.

The

police

kept

shouting

at

the

man

tocome

out

with

his

hands

showing.

Then

suddenly

he

must

have

come

out

because

they

shouted

for

him

to

lie

down

while

he

was

handcuffed(带上手铐).”1．Vicki
