Chapter 9

Luke and I took long showers after we chatted briefly with Zak. It was early still, which meant I was going to have plenty of time for sleuthing. I knew there was a lot going on, or at least there seemed to be a lot going on, but my endgame remained constant: finding Cammy’s killer.

I found Zak hard at work when I returned to the common room. I grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen, settled down on one of the sofas, and asked, “Any new insights?”

“Maybe. Based on what happened today, I think it’s clear Kimmy and Kenny were plants all along. I don’t know why the event coordinators chose to have them planted at the top if they weren’t going to go all the way.”

“Do you think there are any other plants?”

Zak hesitated. “Everyone left in the competition seems to legitimately have the skills to have made it this far, so I don’t think so.”

I glanced at Zoe, who had just walked in from the lanai. Her long, curly hair was pulled back in a scrunchie and she looked more than a little hot and sweaty.

“Were you taking a walk?” I asked.

“Yeah. It seems cooler today.”

“The humidity has lessened, which makes the air feel less heavy. Did you hear that Kimmy and Kenny were eliminated?”

Zoe nodded. “All I can think of is that we’re down to only four teams. If something’s going to happen it’s going to be soon. I think we need to take the time to rethink all the angles.”

“Agreed. It might be a good idea to ask around, see if we can come up with anything in relation to Cammy’s murder while we’re at it. I’m hoping all the players will be out and about on the property. Maybe we can strike up conversations with some of them.”

“You never know when someone’s going to say something that will lead to the thread that unravels everything. There were only a couple of people hanging out at the pool when I stopped by. I didn’t see any of the contestants who’d been eliminated, but there were two women who seemed to be on the housekeeping staff having lunch at one of the tables in the shade. I overheard one say she’d found some strange things in the room of one of the contestants.”

“What sort of strange things?” I asked.

“She said she didn’t know what they were, but based on her description, I think she was talking about surveillance equipment.”

I narrowed my eyes. “Did she say which contestant it was?”

“No, but it was someone who was out of their room today. When the other woman said she wanted to check the stuff out the first one said it wasn’t a good idea because the contest had ended early and everyone was beginning to come back.”

Kimmy and Kenny hadn’t solved the hack, so they probably never left the resort. That almost certainly meant the maid hadn’t found the equipment in one of their rooms. That left Ivan and Irina, Hulk and Cracker, and Trent and Hallie.
