“I changed the coding in Patty’s security system to activate when motion is detected in any of her properties. Looks like someone just entered the guest room at Hotel Lebleu.”

“Pull up the video feed.” A few clicks later, the camera’s footage was on the big screen, and it was all black.

But she had to be there, and her kidnappers were working to keep us out.I holstered my sig and started for the door.

Neal grabbed my arm. “You can’t go in guns blazing with no intel. Give me a second.”

A few keystrokes later, we had video feed from inside the room. Jessica was lying on the hotel bed. Her left forearm had a bandage on it.It took me a second to find Daisy. She was lying on the floor next to the bed. On the far side of the room, Sasha and Kennedy seemed to be in a heated discussion.

“After the first incident at the Hotel Lebleu, I had a set of hidden cameras installed in all Patty’s properties.”

God bless Neal. “I can take those two. I will call Antonio and Asher on my way over. You stay and watch the feed. Patty, can you call the hotel and tell them what’s going on?” Not waiting for an answer, I hung up and headed for my truck.

When I reached Hotel Lebleu, Asher and Antonio were standing outside with SWAT. I gave them a rundown of what we saw in the room.

Ten minutes later, SWAT had broken down the door, taking Sasha and Kennedy by surprise. They were both in cuffs in a matter of seconds and spilling their guts. Not caring about their story, I headed straight to Jessica. I knew Antonio would debrief me later.
