The room was noticeably colder than it had been when Gavin left a couple of hours before. Tossing the keycard and plastic bag onto the dresser, he made his way to the thermostat. The temperature displayed an even seventy-eight degrees, but it was much cooler than that. He aggressively mashed the arrow key until the digital readout stopped at eighty-five. Next, he slid open the balcony door at the end of the suite to allow the warmth of the July sun into the room.

The kid on the bike was back at it again. Gavin didn’t know why, but this teenager doing stunts in the parking lot annoyed him to no end. Gavin contemplated filling the latex gloves with water and tossing them like water balloons at the little punk. He only needed one pair, and the package contained an even twenty-four. On any other day, it would have been an amusing way to spend the afternoon, but right now, there were more pressing matters.

Focus, Gav, focus.

He tore open the package and snapped a glove onto his left hand. Obviously, his fingerprints already covered the outside and keyboard, but he was taking precautions for what he hoped to find inside. If Béla or his jackass brother had installed a transmitter in the typewriter, their prints would be all over the device. He’d simply pluck out the radio or whatever it was, present it to the police, and be in the clear.

The only problem he foresaw with the plan was that the antique would be impounded as evidence, leaving him without a gift for Billy’s party. There was no way around this. It had to be done in order to implicate Puma Jacket.

He sighed as he wiggled his fingers into the second translucent glove.

Gavin approached the desk, and his heart skipped a beat as he saw the sentence typed at the top of the page.
