Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in   23   the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible   24  when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him   25  . Then she waited alone for three   26   while armed police prepared to   27   the building.

   She said, "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen

 28   in the car park I was so glad they were there.”

   The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who   29   in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and   30   sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his   31  . She said, "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her boss 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 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the   32   man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki

  33   15 minutes.

    "It was about ten past two in the morning   34   the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?'. My heart missed a  35  ."

    Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers   36   passages and staircases to the top floor room and   37   over the key.

   "I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room,   38   I could see the passage. The police kept   39   at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he   40   have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed (带上手铐)。
