Chapter 9

Vanessa sent several text messages to Jasper, and, for the hell of it, she sent several to Laura again as well. Vanessa had no clue what was going on and could only hope Jasper was just being the typical kid, lost in his enjoyment of exploring a new place. There was a slim chance he’d return to his room to retrieve his phone. She couldn’t forget he was a global traveler. Comfortable, natural and very curious in all settings.

He really was a traveler, that one. Anytime they had a place to stop, he got excited and researched all the local history so he could make the best use of his time. And maybe he’d done the same thing here. But, with that head injury, he hadn’t looked good. He was a big kid, and it would take a lot to keep him down. But he’d been hurting. For that reason alone, she’d expected him to be inside his room. That he hadn’t been had completely thrown her.

She showered and changed. When she stepped out of her room again, she still hadn’t heard from either one. She sent Dr. Walker and Tony a message, saying she was ready for dinner and was heading down to the lobby. Both responded within a few minutes, saying they were on their way.

On their way maybe, but she didn’t see them. Still, that wasn’t an issue. It was a big hotel. And Dr. Walker had most likely spent his entire time in the pub. It was one of his favorite occupations, and she could hardly blame him with a situation like this. Everybody had to deal with nerves in their own way, and she was hardly one to criticize.

Still, it helped an awful lot for her to connect with the others. They’d been a fairly close-knit team. Or at least she had thought so. Underneath though, apparently they were just fragmented individuals thrown together for a week. Apparently not even caring about the others.

Saddened by the circumstances that led to all this mistrust, she chose to take the stairs down. At the front desk, she saw the same person she had spoken to earlier about Jasper. She walked over and asked if Jasper had returned.

The man looked at her in surprise and then shook his head. “I haven’t seen him. That doesn’t mean he didn’t come in when I wasn’t looking though,” he said apologetically.

She smiled at him. “Absolutely. I’m not holding you responsible. I’m just worried about him.”

She watched as a tinge of relief crossed his face and realized just how difficult his job was. He had to walk a balancing act between privacy issues and the hotel rules and regulations and what was the right thing to do as a human being for another in trouble.

She patted the top of the desk gently, turned and wandered the very large lobby. All kinds of different seating areas here made it an interesting place to people watch. She could pick up all kinds of different vantage points.
