The view out the as to a driveway Ocean vieere reserved for the roouests, not staff

Kelly took a deep breath and moved into the bathroom, the most likely place to find h search Maria ith Trey on the Drop Shot, and he would call her cell to warn her when they were done there

Would the prescription bottles be hidden? Trey claimed to have never visited Maria’s quarters, but there were other staffthe villa, including Hans, so the housekeeper ht be cautious Secretive about a nasty habit

Kelly opened the aze ie of birth control pills halfway through a cycle The prescription, dated teeks ago, was for Maria Navarre Interesting So Maria was sexually active According to Trey, she got one day a week off and usually took a late ferry to Mia evening about the same time She hadn’t taken a day off since the abduction, but under normal conditions did she meet a lover once a week?

Continuing to search beneath the clothing, she found a frame face down and flipped it over

The face of Jason’s kidnapper sneered back at her Ada at the man who had blown up her car

TREY STARED AT the photograph Kelly placed on his desk She’d discovered this frame hidden in Maria’s room and insisted this was one of the men who had kidnapped Jason

“You’re certain?” he asked But he knew Kelly was too s as important as this

“Yes”

He picked up a plastic bag she’d also found “That’s a lot of pills”
