“She isn’t looking at the camera,” I said after a moment.

Jonathan nodded and then began scrolling. I watched as hundreds of pictures of my friend whizzed past.

“She isn’t looking at the camera in any of them,” I said after a while. “She didn’t know he was taking them.”

“I’m inclined to agree. We haven’t seen a single posed picture.”

“I told you that he avoided her when he saw her in the restaurant.”

“You did. So why was he taking pictures of her without her knowledge?”

“Maybe he was stalking her.”

“That’s one possibility.”

“You need to talk to Kelly.”

“You should come with me when I do.”

I frowned as he continued to scroll through hundreds more photos. Many of them had been taken in the restaurant. I saw Kelly putting a bite into her mouth, Kelly chewing, Kelly pushing her plate away.

“Kelly at breakfast,” Jonathan said. “Kelly at lunch, and Kelly at dinner.”

“And there’s Kelly at the bar,” I added. “He took pictures of her every day, all day.”

Jonathan stopped scrolling and began tapping on his comms. I stared at a picture of Kelly walking out of her cabin as he did so.

“I’m going to talk to Kelly this afternoon at two,” he said after a minute. “I’ve moved Molly to later in the day.”

“How could Troy have taken this many pictures of her without her noticing?”

“I don’t know. That’s one thing I’m going to ask her.”

He kept scrolling. Eventually, he reached the last photo of Kelly.

“Did the computer find anything else interesting?” I asked as I shut my eyes and leaned back in my chair.

“A group of photos that are not of people or animals.” Jonathan tapped a few times.

“Those are Kelly’s shoes,” I said. “I recognize them.”

He sighed and slowly scrolled through a dozen pictures of women’s shoes.

“I’m pretty sure those are Kelly’s feet in every picture,” I said when he reached the end of the set.

“I’m going to have a lot to talk about with Troy when he recovers,” Jonathan said.

“If I’d known about his obsession with Kelly, I never would have agreed to let Singer pose for him.”

“Maybe he can explain.”

I stared at him. “How? What possible explanation could there be?”

“I don’t know. Let’s see what Kelly has to say.”

“Are you expecting her to say that she asked Troy to take as many candid photos of her as he possibly could?”

“No, but anything is possible.”

I shook my head. “Now I’m worried about Troy recovering and going back to stalking my friend. Once he recovers, I think he needs to be fired.”

“I don’t know about that, but I can promise you that he won’t be taking any more pictures of Kelly without her express permission. And I’ll be deleting all of these from his computer’s drives. If Kelly was aware of what was happening, does that give her a motive in the attack on Troy?”

“No!” I said emphatically. “If Kelly knew, she would have said something to Troy to make him stop. If that didn’t work, she could have gone to Captain Ryder and gotten Troy fired.
