Chapter 15

Vince Ramsey was nothing like Lena had pictured. A thin, good-looking man, wearing a grey suit, he had an air of energy and a hard time sitting still if his bouncing leg was anything to go by. His light brown hair was probably blonde at one time, and she could see his even features showing well if he ever ended up in front of a TV camera.

The moment he spotted them, he stood up and walked toward them.

“Mr. Murray, I have a bone to pick with you,” Ramsey said.

“Do ye, then? Come into my office, and I’ll see what I can do for ye.”

They headed into William’s office where William offered Mr. Ramsey a chair. He led Lena around the desk and pulled his chair out for her. Once she was seated, he leaned against the wall.

“How can I help ye?” William nodded in Ramsey’s direction.

“Are you kidding me?” Vince jumped up and pointed at William. “You broke into my house tonight.”

William feigned outrage. “How dare ye! How could ye even accuse me of such a thing?”

Vince’s eyes narrowed, and then he looked at Lena, and she stared back, trying to look innocent.

“I think you both broke into my house tonight. Do you want to tell me what you were looking for?”

William shook his head. “Ramsey, why are ye playing such games with us? Ye know I’m looking for the Stansberry girl. If ye know something, say so, and I’ll let the matter drop.”

Ramsey laughed. “Like heck you would. You’d be more likely to string me up by my toes from The Eiffel Tower.”

“I was thinking more along the lines of The Stratosphere,” William said gently.

Ramsey shoved his hands in the back pocket of his jeans. “Look, here’s the thing. Maybe I have heard something, and maybe I haven’t. But if I have, then what’s in it for me?”

Lena was getting awfully tired of everyone insisting on payment of some kind when Addison could be in danger.

“There is a young girl at stake here.” She glared at the man. “Maybe her life, maybe her virtue, and certainly her sanity. Mr. Ramsey, if you know anything about this, giving us the information we need would be the most ethical thing you could do.”

Ramsey smirked. “Well, you’re just adorable, aren’t you?” He glanced up at William. “Obviously she doesn’t know how things work around here.” He looked at Lena again. “You pat my back, I’ll pat your back, and then everybody gets what they want.”

Quinn, one of the men on William’s security team, stuck his head in the room. “Can I have a word?”

“I’ll be right back.”

William left the room, and Lena looked at Vince in genuine confusion. “What is it you want, Mr. Ramsey?”

“I want to prove this hotel is full of werewolves, vampires, witches, and more.”

Lena scoffed. “Seriously? You’re a reporter and you’re getting caught up in this? You are aware that most hotels in Las Vegas have themes? The theme of this hotel is medieval paranormal creatures. Somehow, it just seems to work.
