require some work to crawl to the edge just to get out, it was that big. I had the silly idea of just staying in bed all day to avoid the work I would have to do. I couldn't help the giggles that came out of me at the thought. Just then, Max walked in fully dressed and carrying a tray with coffee and juice.
    “What’s so funny?” he asked with a smile. I explained and he laughed.
    “Good point,” I answered. He sat on the bed and I slid over to be closer. It did take a moment to get there and we both laughed again.
    “I have to go with Axel and take care of some things. Donna has asked me to ask if you would like to have breakfast with her. I wish I didn't have to go right now, but as long as you’re ok...” He trailed of with an anxious look. I smiled for him and leaned over for a kiss. He was relieved, and we said good morning more properly.
    “As long as you two will be back. I can't wait to see what we are like when we are not in the middle of a crisis.” I told him when we broke our embrace. He squeezed my hand.
    “I am glad to hear you say “we”. I look forward to finding out too. We both want nothing more than to sit with you, talk and just be together for longer than a few minutes.” I agreed.
    “Just talk?” I arched a brow and he grinned.
    “Well...” I laughed and we kissed again before he left. I drank some coffee and then had to hop out of bed because my feet did not reach the floor. I took a quick shower and dressed before joining Donna in her room. The huge dining table in her room was loaded with delectable-looking food. We ate and compared notes from the night before. She was not at all surprised that Max and I had got together. She was surprised and delighted I had been with both. I told her about the radio call and she said she had heard about it.
    “In fact Vicky, when Max came back out from bringing you coffee, Axel had more news. Detective Hanlon disappeared, but it seems he took his family and hid them. He is working on things out of sight. George and Gaspar's families are in protection. Axel thinks his people are getting a handle on things. So we get to spend today wandering around this fantastic paradise.” She seemed awfully cheerful and I asked her why. She looked around a second and leaned forward.
    “Carolyn and I came to an agreement,” she said. I raised an eyebrow. Not that I was surprised with Donna's choice. She swung both ways when it came to attraction.
    “We did not do anything last night. We just think that when this is over we may want to see what happens.” I congratulated her and we finished eating. She applauded my choice in clothes.
    I was wearing jeans and white t-shirt, tucked in, and a blue vest. I complimented her choice of a red spring dress over a white tank top. It accentuated her curves nicely and I told her so. Then we went for a walk.
    “Well I am sorry to say ladies we have had a request from hotel security that you remain on this floor,” Carolyn told them.
    Mark, her partner added, “On the bright side you have the entire floor to yourselves so you can still get a lot of walking in.” Since there was nothing we could do about it, we just started walking down the hall. Carolyn was as professional as she had been before. I did not catch one sign that she and Donna had an arrangement. I then remembered that my bodyguards had been at the shop the night before.
    “I wanted to thank you two for everything. I was listening to the radio report from my shop last night.” They were both humble and calm about it.
    “Thank you,” Terry told me, echoed by Mark. “We are fine and so is the shop. Although I think the Gaspar guy deserves a medal. You have some pretty good neighbors.” I agreed and told them if they ever needed anything to ask. They brushed that off with a smile.
    It was weird walking around with four body guards, but the one floor of this place was huge. Entry ways, reception areas, there was quite a bit to explore. We were probably on
