Few people were moving up or down the stairwell as Eddie and Skye made their descent to the lobby on a mission to find a guy named Cane in a sea of hundreds—maybe thousands—of people. They weren’t even sure he was in the hotel. He could have been anyone. But Charlie gave his name as the only clue, so it was all they had to work with.

Eddie and Skye paid extra attention to each person as they passed. They weren’t sure what that would accomplish or how that helped, but they were desperate for another clue to work with. A sign that said, I am Cane would have been helpful, but probably not in the cards at this point.

When another man passed, Eddie slowed so Skye could take the step next to him as they continued to move. “When we get to the lobby, let’s find that girl, Kandi.”

“Ew. Why would we do that?” Skye was not a fan of anyone who flirted with her guy. “She strikes me as the type who would do anything to get your attention, if you know what I mean. Especially since she thinks you’re big money.”

“That’s what I’m counting on.” Eddie snorted. “She is the only one I recall with Charlie when we checked in. They obviously work together. Maybe if I sweet-talk her a bit, I’ll find out more about Charlie and see if the name Cane comes up or rings a bell?”

“As much as I hate the idea, it’s a good one. She was supposed to be at that show tonight for VIPs. Do you think she’s maybe still there? Waiting it out?”

Eddie raised his shoulders in a half-assed shrug. He was feeling defeated. “I really don’t know. There’s no telling where anyone is. I would assume there’s a protocol in place for things like this, right?” Eddie was running scenarios through his head. There had to be a clue or hunch in there somewhere. He even looked up and said a quick prayer in the event Skye was right about all her divine chatter before. He could use a miracle. They could use a miracle.

“Let’s stop on level two,” he went on. “I guess we start there and work our way down.”
