“Just so you know, there’s going to be no funny business in my room. I’ve got stuff to do.”
“What sort of animal do you take me for?”
I’ll break every bone…
“You don’t want me to answer that,” I say.
We walk down the short pier to my room.
“What the hell?” I murmur when I see the door swinging on its hinges. “I locked the door.”
“Are you sure?”
“Certain.”
Dario walks ahead of me. “Stay here. Don’t come in unless I tell you to.”
His tone has changed, becoming low and commanding.
He forces the door open with his shoulder. I hear him stomping around, voice raised. “Hello? If someone’s in here, you better show yourself.”
A door slams and then closes.
“Siena,” he calls. “You can come in.”
I enter the room and gasp.
Someone trashed it completely, tipping over my bed, leaving the drawers and closet in pieces as if someone kicked them, with clothes strewn everywhere.

“How do you mean?”
She looks up at me with an unmistakable note of embarrassment. “Forget I said that.”
“No, Siena. Explain.”
She wrings her hands together. Her eyes look lost and depressed, and it angers me. I hate the idea that anyone thinks they have the right to do this to her.
“First, it started with the boat tour, then there are all the problems I’ve had with vendors canceling and giving me the runaround. Not to mention the rocks–I mean, we scouted that location. The rocks weren’t loose.” She sighs. “I know how this sounds.”
“It sounds like you’re rightfully concerned,” I tell her.
“You’re the first person who hasn’t acted like I’m crazy for thinking any of this.”
Little does she know, there’s every reason to suspect someone’s playing dirty.
Eddy.
“Let’s collect your things and move them to my room.”
She stands. “What? Why?”
“I’m not leaving you here knowing someone’s done this, Siena. I wouldn’t forgive myself if something happened to you. I’ve got a suite. I’ll take the couch.”
