Chapter Seven

Hank had to admit he was relieved his sisters had checked into the resort where he and Agatha planned to hold their reception instead of hightailing it back to Philly. It was fortunate Coil was friends with the owner. It made it much easier to deal with police matters, especially after their last investigation when a celebrity chef was murdered right on the property.

“Oh, Mr. Davidson,” the manager said, scurrying over. “So nice to see you again, and we’re certainly looking forward to your reception in a couple of weeks. Your sisters checked in today, and they insisted on the Alamo Suite, which isn’t part of your room block for the wedding. I went ahead and bumped them up for you, but I told them that particular room is reserved for several days next week, so we’ll need to move them back to a regular room. I know they’re upset, but it’s completely out of our control.”

Hank sighed. “I’m sure you did more than you had to,” he said kindly. “And I appreciate you upgrading them. Please put the charges on my tab. I’ll take care of it.”

“Oh, no, Mr. Davidson,” the manager said. “Mr. Swan insisted that he take care of any bills you might incur for the wedding. It’s our pleasure after everything you did for us.”

“I appreciate that,” Hank said, already feeling the guilt creep in. “But don’t let them take advantage of you or the staff. If they think it’s a free ticket, everybody here will hate to see me coming.”

The manager smiled. “Will do, Mr. Davidson.”

“What floor is the Alamo Suite on?” Hank asked.

“Top floor,” he said. “There are only suites up there, so you’ll need a key card to access the elevator. Let me get you one.”

Hank and Coil thanked the manager again and headed up to the top floor. His sisters weren’t going to be happy to see him, but he didn’t much care.

“If we’re going to get anything out of them, you’re going to have to handle this,” Hank said. “We don’t do anything but rub each other the wrong way.”

“I’m done playing games,” Coil said. “If they don’t cooperate things are going to get unpleasant.”

Coil knocked on the door of the Alamo Suite and waited for someone to answer the door. Hank could feel eyes on them on the other side of the peephole. The door opened a crack, but the deadbolt was on. Gayle stood on the other side. Of all his sisters, she was the most ornery.

“What do y’all want?” she asked.

“I need to ask you all some more questions, and I need to collect Hazel’s gun. I should have done it earlier, but things got hectic.”

“You hear that, Hazel,” she called back over her shoulder. “They’re here to take your gun.”

“Over my dead body,” Hazel called back from the other room.

“You heard her,” Gayle said, shrugging, and she tried to shut the door, but Coil’s foot kept it from closing.

“I wasn’t making a request,” Coil said. “I will speak with each of you and I will take that gun.
