Rachel and Susan made their way slowly toward the Grand Hotel.
The Concierge acknowledged the two constables when they entered the foyer. "Good evening Ladies, have you both drawn the late shift again tonight"
"Yes Sam." Rachel replied. "No rest for the wicked," she added with a smile.
"Well tonight is the last you will have to baby sit our visiting celebrity," he said. "He leaves for London tomorrow." Sam added, emphasizing London.
"I'm sure the fans will be disappointed." Susan replied. "But I know I won't be," she laughed.
"My younger sister will be one of the disappointed," Rachel said, turning away.
"I've got a double shift tonight so I'll see you two at 2 am when you finish your shift." Sam said, as the girls headed toward the VIP lift.
"You see Sam, no rest for the wicked." Rachel called over her shoulder.
The ping of the elevator bell interrupted their laughter.
Once inside, Susan said. "I didn't know your sister was into country music or that she was a Jamie Robinson fan."
"Oh yes, she is crazy about country music and wow I hate to think what she would do to stand guard inside Jamie Robinson's suite." Rachel laughed.
"Well if she had to endure what we do when these celebrities visit, she would soon change her mind." Susan replied.
"Your right there," Rachel said. "But you have to admit, Jamie isn't bad looking is he." She added.
Again the ping of the elevator interrupted their conversation and the doors opened. They were met buy a young male constable as they stepped form the lift.
"Oh great," the constable exclaimed with excitement. "I can now get out of here."
"Been a tad busy for you George?" Rachel asked, sarcastically.
The girls laughed. Then Susan asked, "who's on room duty George?"
"Sergeant Wilson, and I think he wants to get to the pub before it closes." he replied.
Susan remained alongside George while Rachel made her way toward the VIP Suite. "He's probably emptied the mini bar by now." Rachel called over her shoulder.
"I thought that was your responsibility," George replied, with a laugh.
Rachel tapped lightly on the door as their laughter subsided.
She knew the sergeant would be peering out the spy hole and was tempted to put her eye up to the small glass. Suddenly the door burst open and the Sergeant's burley frame filled the gap.
"I'm glad you're here constable," the sergeant said, in his deep gruff voice. "All is quiet and our Celeb is not due in house till around 10 pm." he told her. "I want you to be extra vigilant tonight. It's our Celebs last night and I don't want some sex crazed fan getting to him." He added.
"Yes Sergeant, I'll be on my guard sir." She replied.
'There will be a detective on floor duty tonight and a team from the riot squad will be stationed down stairs. Keep your hand-held unit ready incase of trouble.' he added.
"Yes sir." She said, stepping into the suite.
"And keep this door lock"... The closing of the door cut the conversation off.
Rachel began a quick survey of the suite. She noted that the uncomfortable chair still stood in the small alcove entry. Her weary bones began to ache at the thought of another night on that chair. She wasn't sorry that tonight would be the last night. She reached inside her jacket and removed a magazine, placing it on the small table beside the chair. My entertainment for the night, she thought.
She continued with a quick check of every room, stopping inside the master bedroom. The large mirror over the bed caught her attention and she smiled inwardly. She noted the ensuite door was open and could see the Shower and large spar bath. Oh! A long soak in that would be nice, she thought.
Quickly closing the door, she headed for the kitchenette and made herself a coffee before heading to the alcove.
Settling on the chair, she reached for the magazine. MODERN WOMAN the title glared at her. Hmm another entertaining read - Not, she thought.
Glancing quickly through, she made mental notes of the articles she would read in depth. Finishing her coffee, she turned to the sealed section titled "How to PLEASE Your Man." Why do we have to do all the pleasing," she said aloud.
Carefully tearing open the section, she began to read.
Rachel soon became engrossed in the article and laughed lightly at some of the suggestions. She was enjoying the read and soon felt moistness in her lower body. She wondered with a smile if the article had not been written by a double jointed nymphomaniac.
Suddenly there was a commotion outside and quickly she slid the magazine under the chair. Standing she undid the pistol cover strap and placed her hand on her revolver. Slowly she made her way to the door, placing her eye to the spy hole. Precisely at the same moment there was a loud rapped on the door.
Startled she drew in a sharp breath and jumped back. "Who's there?" She asked, putting her eye back up to the spy hole, hoping the tremor in her voice didn't show.
"Senior Detective Anderson," a deep male voice replied, holding up his I.D. some distance back from the eye hole so it could be read.
Rachel checked his I.D and noted that Jamie Robinson was sandwiched between two uniformed Police officers. Silently she unlocked and opened the door.
Detective Anderson entered and was quickly followed by the other three. Rachel felt like a doorman as they all pushed silently past.
The trio stopped at the end of the alcove while the detective did a sweep of the suite.
