Bailey entered the bedroom and unwrapped the towel from around her body, intent on basking in a nice, hot shower. What had begun as an amazing afternoon in the pool with Ice had quickly become a nightmare and her nerves certainly welcomed the massage of the soothing spray.

She released a soft sigh as she dropped the towel to the floor and sat on the edge of the bed. This second death was just as big of a mystery as the first. The general consensus among the detectives was that Marcus had been electrocuted in the hot tub. But why? His job was to resolve maintenance issues timely and efficiently. Accidents happened occasionally, but murder? She knew Marcus well enough to know that he had better judgment than to jump into the water with live electricity so obviously, there had been foul play. Besides, he didn’t hop into the linen cart after death either. Hopefully, Ice would get some answers.

Just about the time she decided to head for the shower, her cell phone rang from the bedside table. She reached for it and smiled at the caller ID.

“Hi, Gracie.”

“Hi, Trista’s here too. We’ve got a three-way connection.”

“Hey, Trista.”

“Hi, Bailes. Everything okay?”

“It is with me, but there was another murder.”

“We heard,” Grace mumbled. “Do the police have any leads?”

“Not that I know of. Ice is talking to Diesel and Harvard now. Do you know anything?”

“Not about that, but we called to give you a warning.”

She frowned. “A warning?”

“Yes.” Grace giggled. “We’re about to crash your romantic get-a-way.”

“Not me,” Trista drawled. “I’m all about privacy.”

“Uh Trista, don’t be so sure.”

“No,” Trista insisted. “I came to Hummingbird Bay for rest and relaxation, not to rain on Bailey’s parade.”

Bailey rolled her eyes. “You two forget that this is not a romantic rendezvous. We’re trying to investigate a murder, well, now two murders.”

“Anyway.” Grace barreled right over her denial. “We’ll be there about eight o’clock tomorrow morning.”

“Not we,” Trista insisted again, “Harvard, Grace, and Diesel.”

Grace cleared her throat. “Apparently, we’ll stay with you and Ice.”

“Sure. I’ll have the Concierge make the arrangements.”

“Really?”

“Of course. Why not?”

“Uh, well,” Grace hedged. “I just figured you and Ice wanted to be alone. I tried to convince Harvard to book – “

“I told you, Gracie, we’re investigating murder.”

“Is that what you call it now?” Trista mumbled.

Bailey laughed. Thank God for these two women. “Did you just call to harass me?”

“Of course not,” Grace answered. “We wanted to make absolutely sure you’re okay.”

She hesitated a brief moment. Her nerves were a bit jumpy and she was frustrated to no end that the suspect was still unknown but honestly, she’d never felt this safe and protected in her life.

“I’m really fine,” she said finally. “I’m in very good hands.”

“Apparently, you’re quite an investigator.”

“Not really. I just have a relationship with these people.”

“Ice says differently.”

Although Grace’s information warmed her, she opted for a change in subject. She was already warm enough.

“Trista, how’s your vacation?”

“Wonderful and mostly relaxing.”

“Mostly?”

“I learned the ins and outs of your security system by locking myself out.
