When Baron went out into the hallway, the housekeeping cart was a few doors down. Something was up with Nessa. Hopefully it really was simply being put out by the towel situation, but when he’d first heard her call his name, no, yell his name, he had briefly feared for his life. At the door however, she hadn’t been really mad at him, just very concerned about the towels and insisted he solve the problem in an exact manner.

Baron paused at the cart to consider all angles.

Something wasn’t right. This was a wild goose chase.

Short of the housekeeping cart, Baron turned around and hurried back to the room.

“Nessa,” he called as he slid the key card in and opened the door. “I couldn’t find any towels.”

She didn’t answer.

Baron knocked on the bathroom door. “Nessa?”

Something was definitely wrong. He tried the handle and found it locked.

“Nessa if you don’t answer I have to break in, so stand back.”

Silence.

Baron turned his shoulder toward the door and hit it, keeping the handle in his free hand. His foot would be more efficient, but if Nessa was in front of the door for whatever reason, he didn’t want to send it flying against her.

The door didn’t budge under his shoulder so he took a step back and kicked it next to the handle. Wood splintered near the handle and catch and the door flew inward, slamming against the bathtub.

The bag of purchases from the surf shop was lying in the center of the floor. There was no sign of Nessa anywhere. So how was the door locked? Delay tactic. That was the only explanation. Four fresh towels were folded and stacked on the shelf, so that instinct had been correct. Which meant something was seriously amiss.

Baron’s hand reached to the back of his shorts for his gun before he realized it was stowed in his Escalade on the other side of the border. He inspected the bathroom to see if there were any hidden exits that she’d been taken out of.

Where had their cover failed so thoroughly for someone to go to the efforts of abducting her? On the beach they’d been speaking openly, but he was watching the whole time for signs of audio surveillance and they’d been moving, which would make spying on them nearly impossible. Unless the surf shop had planted a bug and had listened to the whole thing!

Whatever had happened, Nessa hadn’t left through the bathroom.

Stepping back into the room cautiously, he scanned the room. There was no sign of struggle. He’d only been out of the room for ten seconds, maybe fifteen. He felt like he was in the middle of an unsolvable logic problem.

No, it felt like Nessa was too good to be true. He’d been dreaming or hallucinating her and she’d gone up in smoke.

He had to find her, no matter how impossible it was to gather a genie out of the air and bring her back to real life.

“Stop that,” he told himself. “There’s a real answer here, and you’re going to find it.
