“What happened?” Percival trailed after her with eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

Ignoring his question, Vivienne rode in silence back to Bay Estates. As soon as they entered the house, she picked up the laptop from the couch and started reviewing the surveillance footage from the motel.

“Pass the word along. Have the police release a statement about discovering a hidden camera in the room at the motel where the incident occurred.”
