have to call her and ask. Likely she wasn’t even out of the shower yet. But it was best to be certain he hadn’t missed any of her things. Leif look out his cell phone and swiped it awake. And then paused with his thumb over the keypad. He had no idea what her cell phone number was. Or even if she had one. Well fuck! So much for the know-it-all Dom. He was batting zero here.
    Leif walked back to the doorway of the room, stood with his back to the door and looked up, down, and all around himself. Taking one slow step at a time he searched the damn room as carefully as if he really had been looking for a gold-plated Easter egg. And found nothing. Well, that was better than failing his woman by leaving her possessions behind. But next time he’d better remember to think before offering to do something. Two seconds talking to her could have saved him half an hour’s work here.
    He zipped up the suitcase and wheeled it to the door, sliding her swipe card out of the gadget that turned the electricity on, and ensuring the door locked behind him. He walked back to the elevator and pressed the button to summon it. There were actually three elevators and he stood back so he could watch the colored lights display which one would arrive first. It was only a couple of floors, but when wheeling a suitcase, it seemed much smarter to take the elevator than walk.
    And then all hell broke loose. Screaming, yelling, male voices raised in both laughter and anger, and the sound of breaking glass. “What the fuck?” Leif stepped back into the hallway, looking up and down, but the pounding of feet in the stairwell told him where the sounds were coming from.
    Three or four people raced past him, their feet and voices moving downstairs, when a siren over the elevator went off, almost deafening him. Instinctively he covered his abused ears with his hands, but he could still hear the announcement about the fire quite clearly.
    Leif wanted to race upstairs and go to Tamara. She was his, he needed to protect her. But logic told him he’d never be able to fight his way against the crowds of people going downstairs. Instead it’d be much more sensible to wait for her in the lobby. Snatching up her suitcase, he raced through the stairwell door and started running downstairs.
    Soon he had to slow to a walk as dozens of other people filled the stairway, some crying, some only partially dressed, many talking loudly and demanding to know what was happening. Leif had to struggle not to push his way past them and rush to find his woman. By the time they finally emerged on the first floor, the lobby was crowded and filling even more with guests, some panic-stricken, and others argumentative. Leif made his way to the registration desk, but no staff was there.
    He left the suitcase at his feet and leaned back against the desk looking for the firemen, or emergency workers. And then he remembered the men in the stairwell just before the alarms went off. It’s a hoax! Some idiots set the alarm off for a joke.
    Several managers pushed their way through the crowds telling people to go back to their rooms, that there was no fire. Still Leif waited at the registration desk. When a woman finally arrived to help him, she shook her head. “I’m sorry, sir, we can’t check anyone out until the situation is resolved.”
    “But it was men who set off the fire alarm. I’m trying to check out a woman.”
    “How do you know it was men? It could have been anyone. Even children.”
    “I saw and heard them race past the fifth floor when I was waiting for the elevator to come down here and check Tamara out. They were men. Three or four of them.”
    “Wait here, please, sir.”
    Again he waited, staring at the confusion and congestion in the lobby. Now there were three other staff members working the desk, mostly giving out spare swipe cards to people who’d locked themselves out of their rooms in the drama. A few were people trying to check out, and they were told the
