Chapter 13

Hazel hurried down the stairs, her heart pounding and her brain racing with that new information. She had to find Sheriff Cross right away and let him know.

The stairway seemed to be the original, and curved down to meet the third-floor hallway. As Hazel spun around the corner, she slammed right into someone.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," she cried as she caught herself on the wall.

The person she ran into wasn't quite so lucky. He stumbled and fell on the plush carpet, knocking his glasses askew. "Oh, funny running into you again, Miss Photographer," Stan said with a goofy smile.

Hazel smiled back and leaned down to give him a hand.

Stan took it, and righted himself, dusting off his slacks and Hawaiian shirt. She wondered if he wore that getup to the wedding as well. "How's Pablo?" His brows furrowed, and he seemed genuinely concerned for his friend.

Hazel shrugged. "Upset. He's probably going to finish off another bottle of champagne, so I hope he can handle his alcohol."

Stan nodded. "Yeah, he can. I might go up and join him again, to make sure he's not alone, you know?"

"That's kind of you," Hazel said and smoothed her hands over her dress. "Is that why you're up this late?"

Stan shrugged and ran his fingers through his already mussed hair. "No, actually I was planning on passing out in my room and trying to forget everything that happened today, but I realized I lost my phone," he said and patted himself down as if he might magically find it in one of his pockets.

Hazel raised a brow. Another person who lost their phone? Well, it could be a coincidence. Then again, it may not be.

"What model? Just in case I run across it."

Stan grinned. "An iPhone 6. Not the latest, I know. I noticed yours, and it’s nice. But it's not in my budget to upgrade every year. So I basically wait until my cell company gives me one of the iPhones for free. Then I upgrade."

Hazel nodded, understanding all too well. "Hey, I hadn’t upgraded in ages, and I'm not quite used to this new one yet," she admitted as she pulled her cell from her pocket. Though, she did wonder when Stan had seen it. She didn’t remember using her phone during the wedding reception at any point, but she could've pulled it out to check the time and he'd seen it then.

"Doesn’t it have a pretty good camera? I mean, not as good as you’re used to but good enough."

Hazel nodded. "Yeah, it's one of the reasons I upgraded." She didn't say the other reason was so she could take discrete pictures without anyone noticing. It was much easier to do that with a cell phone than it was with a three thousand dollar Nikon.

"So you've got an iPhone 6. What color?"

"Silver. They were all out of rose pink, much to my chagrin," he said. That same smile lingered on his lips and sparkled around his eyes. It reminded her of Sheriff Cross.
