Chapter Fourteen
By the afternoon, a sign was erected by the front drive, directing all workers and delivery vehicles to the service entrance. Hawking stationed one of the security staff he had already begun to train at that entrance to screen out anyone who didnât seem to belong there. His staff had also contacted all crews already on site that day to update them on the new procedure and to move their vehicles from the entrance.
Sadie looked across the empty lobby and through the front doors to see uninterrupted open space. Changing the flow of workers from the main entrance to the service drive would have happened anyway when the guests arrived. Hawking had simply moved the timeline up.
The panic button in her pocket felt very heavy. Each time she moved, it reminded Sadie that there were bad guys after her. The men had also attached an emergency button to the underside of the desk surface so that anyone on staff could alert them without hesitation. Sadie was updating her training notes for those checking in guests on its presence and when to use it.
Her first crew of trainees was coming in tomorrow. This change would take a huge burden off her shoulders. Sadie had worried about how she would man the desk and take the new staff members on tours to different sections of the resort where they would work. She tried to convince herself that maybe there were simple excuses for everything that had happened today. Her twisting gut told her no.
âDinner tonight with the guys on our floor, Sadie,â Phoenix said as he entered the lobby.
âOh! I donât want to interrupt everyoneâs dinner plans,â she insisted.
âYouâre not interrupting. Youâre joining. Weâve all settled on having dinner together so we can talk about whatâs happening and how progress is going,â Phoenix said. âYouâre part of how things are going. You donât want us talking about you, right?â
âNo, of course not.â
âThen join us for dinner.â Phoenix walked over to close and lock the front entrance. âReady?â
âIâll just go freshen up in my room, and Iâll be there in a few minutes,â she rushed to assure him, never intending to join the men for dinner.
âOkay. Iâll ride up in the elevator with you.â
âAre you guys keeping me in sight?â she asked.
âYes. Besides, weâre going in the same direction.â
âUp, you mean? Iâm stopping at my apartment on the fourth floor,â Sadie explained patiently.
âYou may wish to come up to the fifth floor now,â Phoenix said, obviously avoiding saying something else.
âIâll be there later. I want to finish this training module and print off the new sheets.â
âIâll wait with you,â he said, propping one hip against the counter and grabbing his phone to type out a message.
Sadie jumped a minute later when her phone buzzed next to her. âHello?â
âI moved all your stuff upstairs into my room,â Rocco told her.
âWhat?â
Phoenix looked at her and said loudly, âRocco, I think you should come downstairs.â
âI think you should come downstairs as well, Rocco,â Sadie said sarcastically.
