Cindy sat in the phone booth for a moment, trying to digest what Jeremiah had just told her. Who on earth would want to bug her phone? She certainly didn’t know anyone in the city and it wasn’t like this was a planned trip and someone could have known where she would be in advance. The room wasn’t even registered to her.

But it was registered to her parents. If someone had tried to hurt or kill Kyle it would explain their interest in his family. With Kyle under such close surveillance by doctors and family at the hospital it would probably be easier to eavesdrop than to get near him there. Maybe she was right and the theft of her purse hadn’t been a random act. Maybe they were targeting her because she was Kyle’s sister.

She still didn’t know what someone would want with her purse, though. Unless there was something Kyle had that they wanted and they thought one of his family members might be in possession of it now that he was in the hospital. If that was true, though, why wouldn’t the attackers have stopped even for thirty seconds at the scene and searched him while he was in the car? She should get the key to his hotel room at the Excalibur and see if it looked like anyone had ransacked his room searching for something. Maybe they would have assumed that he had left the item there and when they couldn’t find it they had then figured he’d had it on him. She’d also ask her father about that.

The only other thing someone connected to the attack on Kyle could have wanted with her purse was to plant some sort of listening device like they had on the phone in the room. Jeremiah was clearly suspicious of that since he’d told her to not give out sensitive information over her cell.

Her head was beginning to ache. She had some aspirin in her purse. The thought of it reminded her that she needed to get back to her parents with her mother’s medication. She stood up, clutched her purse tight to her body, and headed out.

She felt like she was being paranoid as she walked to the hospital, but reminded herself that it wasn’t paranoia if people really were out to get her. She’d seen a bumper sticker that said something like that once. Maybe she’d have to track it down and hang it up in her house as a reminder.

She breathed a little easier when she entered the hospital. She quickly made her way to the elevators. She was nearly there when out of the corner of her eye she saw someone coming right at her.

She tensed every muscle. Her hands wrapped more tightly around her purse and she could feel the tension thrumming through her arm muscles. Her leg muscles coiled, readying to run. She forced herself to take a deep breath and then she spun to confront the person.

A couple feet from her a pretty blond haired woman came to a stop, clearly caught off guard by Cindy’s quick movements.
