He had a gun with him.
Here.
She hastily placed the clothes over it, smoothed the top and shut the door.
“What the fuck?” she muttered.
Other than police officers, she’d never seen a handgun that up close and personal before.
She backed away from the dresser. “Holy shit.”
What did that mean? Did it have anything to do with yesterday?
Robin pulled out her phone and hit dial on Jessica’s number. The line rang three times before Jessica answered out of breath.
“Hey!”
“Uncle Daar has a gun.”
There was a splash that made Robin think Jessica might be taking a pool day.
“Wait. What? What happened? Start from the beginning,” she insisted.
Robin took a deep breath. “Everyone’s out so I’m looking around in Uncle Daar’s room and he has a gun in his dresser.”
“Okay, alarming but it isn’t illegal to travel with it in your checked bags. He’d need a security screening though.”
“That never happened.”
“Interesting. What else have you found?”
“Nothing. I just got in here.” Robin turned to look at the room.
“Any chargers?”
“Um, there’s one by the desk.” She crossed to peer at the end. “Looks like it’s for his tablet. He probably took that with him to the pool.”
“Phone?”
“No,” Robin said slowly.
“Check the nightstand.”
She circled the bed to where a few personal items remained on the nightstand.
“No. No, I don’t see…” She squinted in the dim light. “Hold on.”
“What? The suspense is killing me, Nancy Drew.”
Robin pulled back the blanket.
There, tucked under the pillow was Uncle Daar’s phone. Charging.
“Holy shit, it’s here,” Robin said in a rush.
“Shut up and get it now!” Jessica said in a whisper-yell.
Robin put her phone on speaker then pulled the small device out. Uncle Daar’s phone wasn’t quite at fifty percent, but it would be enough.
