“Do we know who he is?”
“Chandler Fairfax, of the UK.”
“Isn’t he the groom in that big wedding party?”
“Yup.”
“And I take it he wasn’t with the bride.” Martina settled into her seat at the monitor.
“Nope.”
“Yikes. I feel bad for the woman he is marrying.”
“Same. I wish I could come up with a reason for her to go down that hallway at the right time. But the bride is in the Diamond Suite and she is unlikely to go on deck eleven for any reason.”
Martina sat in the chair and logged in. “Hmmm. If it is quiet tonight, I’ll look at the footage and try to see if he has been there more than twice. Maybe we can come up with ideas that don’t break any privacy rules. I want to save the bride some trouble.”
“Careful Martina, our hands are tied.” Even having the connection with Dana, he couldn’t think of a way to let Cheyanne know about her unfaithful man.
“I know. And I won’t do anything without Alvaro’s approval.”
“I want to know how he found out about that spot. I can’t think of a way he could have other than bribing a crew member. That is a security risk.”
“Is he with the same woman each time?”
“Yes, a redhead. I’ve narrowed her down to seven possibilities, including two bridesmaids.”
“Ew. Worse and worse.” Martina tapped a pen on the desk. “But she could have done the bribing.”
“I hadn’t thought of that.”
“Women can be devious too.”
“Let me know if you think of something. We need to find out how they learned about that spot.” That was a security risk he could act on.
“Will do. Good night.”
The door to Alvaro’s office stood open. His boss waved him in and pointed to his tablet. “What is this?”
McKay entered and sat down. “I thought my report was self-explanatory.”
“You reported yourself for talking to a passenger.”
“I treated her to ice cream.”
“You know as well as I do it does not fall into the relations category.”
“But I wanted to hold her hand. I want to see her again. So, I am turning myself in to prevent me from doing anything stupid.”
“I’ve known you for years. I’ve watched women, passengers, and crew throw themselves at you and even stalk you. You have never even come close to crossing lines.”
“I’ve never wanted to.”
“So, you want to now?”
“I have no desire to dishonor my position. But I do want to get to know Dana Knight better.”
“Is she aware of the cruise line policy?”
