Murderous Vacation Chapter 3
Horatio and Frank watched as Sharpay was taken by the paramedics to the ambulance. Ryan just stood there in shock. Calleigh was coming around the corner watching the paramedics leave the building as she walked up to Horatio and Frank.
"What did I miss?" Calleigh asked.
"Quite a bit," said Horatio. "I'll let Eric and Ryan catch you up on our murder, but right now it seems that another attempt at some tourists life has been made. And with us standing right here."
"That means whoever it was couldn't have got far," said Calleigh.
"Thats right." said Horatio. "We are going to need to question everyone in the hotel. First I will be talking to Mr. Evans, since he was the first to get to our second crime scene."
"Alright, I'll go talk to Eric and Ryan W. and get caught up," she said.
Horatio turned around to look at Ryan E. (I realize this is going to be confusing with 2 Ryan's, bear with me)
"Mr. Evans, can you tell me what happened?" Horatio asked.
"I was on my way to our hotel room when I heard someone knocking on the closet door. I didn't know it was my sister until she screamed. I heard a bang from inside the closet and then smoke." Ryan explained. "I managed to get the door open, and she ran out."
"Do you know what she was doing in the closet?" Horatio asked.
"No, she said she was going to the spa here at the hotel earlier," said Ryan. "But it didn't look like she made it there."
"Alright, Mr. Evans. You may go, but I may need to speak with you later," said Horatio.
"Ok," he replied, walking back to his hotel room. Frank walked up to Horatio.
"This is strange," said Frank. "There doesn't appear to be any reason for these attacks."
"That is true," said Horatio. "I believe that Mr. Bolton mentioned that he knew the girl."
"He did," said Frank. "I was just talking to him. He said they go to school together."
"So, I wonder if these two incidences are connected," said Horatio, looking at the closet. "Lets have Calleigh and Natalia come check out this closet. Mr. Evans mentioned that he heard a bang before the smoke started. It could have been our attacker and if he was willing to attack such a busy area he probably didn't have time to cover his tracks."
Authors Note: This seemed like a pretty good place to stop. Please review and let me know your thoughts. I love to hear from my readers.
