That girl in the coolie hat in the corner

You stride over to the corner of the room, and stand over the table where a girl in a faded blue outfit sits. A straw hat hides her face. She shifts nervously. "Can I help you?"

You pull the opposite chair out and sit down. "I think you can. You're the girl everyone's looking for, right? The rail worker that saw the gold."

She stiffens and then leans forward slightly. "What makes you say that?"

"You're Chinese, Chinese work on the railroad, the rest just writes itself," you reply wryly. "Why don't you tell me where it is?"

"I'm not the person who saw the gold. I'm looking for him," she replies. "Please leave me alone."
