Summary
The receptionist raises a polite eyebrow when Zolf asks for the key to the safe room. He doesn't protest, but he does relax slightly when Zolf says "Sasha's, uh, Miss Racket's… whatever, the one with the suite, she's gonna meet me there." It's a lie, but the receptionist isn't looking for a lie. (And what good would the truth have done? "I need to think and we're too far from the ocean, so…that, basically.")
Zolf is convincing enough that he gets an escort to the room and possession of a weighty key.
Or: Zolf has a crisis alone inside the Exposition Box
