Chapter Sixteen

The mystery of the unknown delivery was solved when Robin saw Sean at the guard shack. He was holding a small box.

The guard on duty asked, “Are you Robin McGee?”

Sean spoke up quickly. “Package for you, ma’am!”

With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Robin said, “I’ll take care of this,” and walked Sean away from the ropes. The crowd of gawkers and paparazzi today was even bigger than before, with more curiosity seekers drawn by news of Liam’s accident.

“What are you doing here?” Robin asked. “You’re supposed be at the Bookmine.”

“Denny volunteered to take my shift.”

“You made an injured person take over for you?”

“Did you really think I was going to stay on Fisher Key while you hang out with Liam Norcott?”

“I’m not hanging out with him,” Robin said crossly. “I’m just—I can’t explain it. But you shouldn’t have come. I can’t do anything for you.”

Sean demanded, “Why not? I can be your assistant.”

“You can’t be an assistant to an assistant.”

“Sure you can,” Sean said. “Happens all the time.”

“Hey,” said a voice behind Robin. It was Steven Anderson, looking tall and cool in his sunglasses and T-shirt that said U.S. NAVY. He wasn’t even supposed to be wearing that shirt, Robin thought resentfully. He hadn’t gone to boot camp yet.

“How’s life in Hollywood?” Steven asked.

She wanted to poke both of them. “You’re supposed to be tracking down my sister’s stalker!”

“Yeah, about that,” Steven said. “Big huge mystery. It’s this ten-year-old kid in her day camp. Billy Hooper. I think he’s about as likely to stalk her as I am to sprout wings and fly over the Gulf of Mexico.”

Billy Hooper. She should have known. He was a goofy kid, not even five feet tall yet, and maybe eighty pounds soaking wet.

“You could have texted,” Robin said, hiding her relief.

“What’s the fun in that?” Steven asked with a big grin. “Juliet Francine’s nice to look at. You should introduce us. Has she turned up yet?”

Robin raised her eyebrows at Sean.

“I had to tell him,” Sean said defensively. “He knows how to interrogate terrorists.”

“Look, if you want to be useful, find this guy.” Robin hastily showed them her picture of Jake the Mermaid, explained about his tattoo and Sloppy Joe’s, and said, “I think he and Juliet are holed up somewhere around here. He’s not a nice guy.”

From behind his sunglasses, Steven eyed some nearby girls in Daisy Duke shorts and bikini tops. “That’s okay. It’s more fun when they’re bad guys.”

“What’s in it for us?” Sean asked.

Robin snapped, “Job satisfaction.”

“I’m not getting paid,” Sean pointed out. “Tell you what. If we find him, you have to get me into Liam Norcott’s trailer.”

“I can’t,” Robin said.

Sean’s voice rose in agitation. “You got in. You were supposed to send me the video. You said you were in his trailer, but where’s the proof—”

Tourists started looking their way. He always did like to be the center of attention.

“I’ll get you his autograph, okay?” Robin exclaimed. “Go find him.”

She hurried back to the set in time to see Liam and Cayleigh sitting with a reporter and cameraman.
