Madeline stopped at Lottie’s suite first and gently knocked several times. When she did not answer, she proceeded to Hugh’s room.

He came to the door so quickly; she assumed he also might have had trouble sleeping.

“Madeline, what is it? Are you all right?”

“It’s Lottie.”

He looked worried and said, “The last time I saw you with your hair down was in hospital. I know it must be something serious for you to come after midnight.”

She explained what happened, and he said, “I’ll be dressed and back here, momentarily.”

“I will pin my hair up and at least attempt to look presentable.”

They both appeared in the hall within minutes, looking bedraggled but ready to act.

“Hugh, I’d like to check with the concierge to see if Lottie left me a message, and if not, that might give us a clue on how to proceed.

“If not, I hope a manager will enter her room to see if she’s all right. I don’t think she would be angry if we did so. She would know our only concern is her well-being.”

“What could motivate her to wander out alone onto the beach in the dark of night, especially when she is frightened enough to faint over the flying crows?

“It is perplexing. Whatever prompted her to overcome her fears and go out alone?”

“You and I are within steps of her room. She could have come to us for help, unless of course…”

She stopped, and a chilling thought came over her.

“Yes, Madeline…of course—what?”

“Unless she was not afraid of them—the person could be someone she trusted not to hurt her. But what if that person is also the murderer?”

Hugh said, “If that is true, she might not think it and unwittingly put herself in danger.”
