pretended to ignore the look of censure from Seth as she followed Bill to the guest room elevators.
Once they were inside the elevator compartment, Bill asked, “Am I poaching on Landry territory?”
“Heavens, no!” she insisted. “Seth’s only interest in me is professional.”
“The looks he’s been giving you all night look more personal to me.”
“He was probably just hoping I’d whip out a .22 and shoot you at the table so he could close his investigation.”
“He’ll figure out who did the other murders,” Bill assured her as he guided her inside his suite. “Seth can be a pain, but he’s pretty good at his job.”
Savannah surveyed the room. There was a comfortable living room area with beautiful views of the moonlit mountains in the distance. She ran her hand along the edge of the leather sofa while Bill disappeared into the adjoining room, closing the door as he mumbled something about a safe. It was quiet in the room, save for the insulation. She could hear muffled voices and the sound of a car backfiring in the parking lot below.
Savannah checked her watch. Bill had been in the bedroom for almost ten minutes. Maybe he’s in the little gem sellers’ room, she thought. After another minute went by, Savannah called out to him.
Just as she did, there was a knock at the door. Savannah was still calling Bill’s name when she opened the door to a scowling Seth.
A scowling Seth with his weapon drawn.
“What are you doing?”
“Where is he?” Seth barked.
“In the bedroom. He went in there about ten minutes ago to bring out some gems to show me.”
Seth shoved her onto the sofa as he went to the door and kicked it in.
From her vantage point, Savannah could see Bill on the floor.
Blood trickled from a single hole in his forehead.
