“Where is everyone?” Thor asked. He’d headed straight for the tiki bar when he got back to the resort.

Jack sat alone, looking depressed as he nursed a beer. He looked up like a puppy when Thor talked to him. “Don’t know. Thought I’d find someone to talk to here,” he said. He pointed across the tables. “New couple at the resort. They’re here on their honeymoon.” He lowered his voice. “The guy is some kind of an Indian, I think.”

Thor glanced at the attractive couple across the way and sank into a chair opposite Jack. He waved to Clint for a beer.

“Where have you been?” Jack asked.

“Around,” Thor replied vaguely. “You haven’t seen anyone?”

“You’re really asking if I’ve seen Genevieve, right?”

“I’m really asking if you’ve seen anyone,” Thor said levelly.

Jack grinned. “All right. I think Zach and Lizzie went up to the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key. You know how Lizzie loves dolphins. They were talking about doing that at one point, anyway. And Marshall…his boat is gone, so I’m assuming he’s out on the water, somewhere. The Conch kids and Alex? I don’t know.”

Thor’s beer arrived, and he smiled his thanks, wondering why he felt so on edge. Why? How about because there was a murderer on the loose in Key West.

He had barely taken a sip of his beer when Jack slammed a fist on the table and laughed. “Hell, I’m an idiot. I know where they are!”

“Where?”

“Genevieve’s place. Barbecue tomorrow, remember?”

Thor stood. “I’ll give it a try.”

Jack rose, as well. “Wait up. I’m not sitting here by myself anymore.”

When they arrived at Genevieve’s, Victor let them in, eyeing them both warily. “Hey, hey, half the gang’s all here,” he muttered. He stood in the doorway, as if loathe to let them enter. Thor had the definite feeling it was him; after all, Jack was a Conch.

“What’s up?” Jack asked jovially. He swept past Victor as if he had every right to be there.

“We were just watching the news,” Victor said glumly. “They’re warning single women in the Keys to be careful. The victim on the beach has been identified. Haven’t you guys seen a TV anywhere? Shit, every bar in town must be running the coverage.”

“What makes you think I sit around bars all day?” Jack demanded gruffly, then smiled. “So, got a beer?”

“Help yourself, Jack,” Genevieve called from the kitchen.

Jack headed that way. Thor took a seat on the sofa, staring at the television. The news had moved on to the weather, though. There was a storm in the Gulf, but it was headed west.

“Creepy, huh?” Victor murmured, taking a seat next to Thor.

“The storm?”

“The cops thinking that the killer might be from around here. Hope it doesn’t hurt tourism any, the way they’re talking.”

“People rarely see themselves as potential victims,” Thor told him. “Especially since the dead woman was a prostitute.”

“Hope so. We survive on tourism,” Victor murmured.

“No worries,” Jack said cheerfully, coming from the kitchen and tossing a beer in Thor’s direction. Taken by surprise, he was glad to catch it.
