On that Obscure Demand of John Fare

"Rainy morning in Paris, 10 am, Hotel Richmond 15, Rue De Dunkerque
entrance from the Gare du Nord. Door opens, Gabriel Lester steps in.
Room No. 65 is booked for him (and probably for someone else). Gabriel
Lester signs in and goes to his room taking a little small elevator.
Later that day or most likely next morning, John Fare leaves the room
and signs out of the hotel.

So where did he go from the hotel?"
