Agnes had been in the shower, shaving her legs, while Logan was sending her desperate messages. She’d barely had time to throw on some clothes, and even then, not all of them, as she had nothing on under her buttoned suit jacket, when there was a knock at the door. After twisting her wet hair into a knot and clipping it in place, she slipped her damp feet into her shoes, kicked her bra under the bed and opened the door, all the while praying that this wasn’t happening.

Bloody Dougal. He should just go back to running his own hotel. It would be more efficient than poking his nose into everything she did.

Not that this get-together was about the hotel. No, this one should have been about her and Logan. Who was currently eating her up with his eyes while Dougal waited for a nonexistent report.

“What’s this all about then?” Dougal boomed.

“Well.” There was nothing she could do but start talking in the hope that something would come to her. “I was going over the list of stolen items, and I found a…”

What? What the hell had she found?

Logan cleared his throat. “Is this about that pattern you mentioned?”

“Yes, yes, the pattern!” What pattern? “Perhaps you could explain about the pattern while I switch off the monitors. They’re very distracting.”

That’s when she realized the monitors weren’t on. And that Dougal didn’t know about the cameras. For a second, she just stood there, frozen midstride, completely at a loss as to what to do next.

“What are you talking about?” Dougal boomed again. “And why do you have so many screens in your room anyway?”

“About that pattern,” Logan said loudly, attempting to save her. “Agnes mentioned that all of the items have gone missing during daytime hours. So we can definitely rule out night people. I mean people at night. As in, hotel guests.”

Agnes bugged her eyes at him. That was the best he could do?

Judging by the look on Dougal’s face, he was about as impressed as she was with Logan’s explanation. But there was nothing she could do now but go with it.

“Yes.” She nodded solemnly. “It means the thief has to be someone who has access to the place during the day. I think we can rule out guests because, as Logan pointed out, they would be better off stealing at night.” Holy crap, that sounded worse. “Also, I noticed all of the stolen jewelry was shiny. And small. So that means we’re looking for someone who likes small shiny things.” Damn, she was dying here. She shot Logan a desperate look, but he just stared at her in bewilderment. “Isn’t that right, Logan?” she prodded.

“Aye, that’s right.” He cleared his throat. “And didn’t you mention that you thought the thief must be keeping everything because nothing had turned up in any pawnshops or online sales sites?”

“Yes!” She pointed at him. “That too.”

“That’s it?” Dougal sounded incredulous. “This is why you called Logan all the way down here? I have to say that I’d expect more from my manager.
