The Hampton Inn in Reeds was overkill for the area, Peyton thought. There were several locally owned hotels, and she hadn’t thought the Hampton Inn would make it. She’d thought (maybe even hoped) local businesses would run it out. But, like the Wal-Mart in town, it had not only survived but thrived. Allegiances fade quickly in a down economy.

She parked her service vehicle, entered the lobby, and walked to the desk.

“I need the room number of Dr. Sherry St. Pierre-Duvall.”

“I’ll call the room and put you on the line.”

The girl behind the counter was college-aged, wearing the standard-issue dark blazer. Her name tag read tanya. Probably an intern, maybe a hotel-management or recreation major at the University of Maine branch at Reeds.

Peyton looked around. No one was nearby.

“Actually, this is official business,” she said. Official business. Even to herself she sounded like a TV caricature.

“Really?” the young woman said, eyes widening. “I can lead you to the room.”

“No, that’s okay.”

“No, really. I mean, I don’t mind. I’m studying journalism. Maybe I can—”

“No. Just tell me the room number. And this is all off the record. Understand?” She knew she had no way of enforcing her request but thought the student-journalist might buy it.

“Nothing’s off the record unless I agree to it. The Duvalls have rooms 210 and 418.”

“Two rooms?”

“One is a suite,” the girl said, nodding.
