same story as him. No checkouts allowed until the situation was resolved.
    Leif was almost about to give up and join the line for the elevator, or maybe just walk up the stairs, when a more senior manager beckoned him over into a clear space at the corner of the registration desk.
    “You saw the people who set the alarm off, sir?”
    “I got a glimpse of them as they raced past down the stairs. I was waiting for the elevator on the fifth floor. I heard shouting and glass breaking and then three or four men raced down the stairs. I suspect they came from the sixth floor but I don’t know that.”
    “Did you recognize them? Were they from the wedding party?”
    “I have no idea. I don’t know ninety percent of the guests invited to the wedding.”
    The manager sighed. “Thank you anyway, sir. What was your name again?”
    “Leif Sneddon.”
    “Likely it’ll be an hour or so before you can check out. There’ll be no late fees for checkout today. Aren’t you staying for the wedding itself this afternoon?”
    “Yes. Tamara has just decided to share a room with someone.”
    “Yes, sir. Very good, sir. I’ll ring your room when the system is back up and working again.”
    Leif made sure the manager knew his room number before walking across to the elevator. He took one look at the enormously long line, picked up the suitcase again, and started climbing the stairs.

    The last thing Leif expected to see when he finally arrived at his floor was Simon and Tamara sitting on the floor. He wouldn’t have said he was tired from carrying the suitcase up all the stairs, but he certainly wasn’t going to be in a hurry to do any more lifting, carrying, or stair climbing for an hour or two. But as soon as he saw then he ran forward. “Are you all right.”
    “Just fine and dandy,” said Simon.
    “Tamara?”
    “We’re fine. Just locked out and not interested in walking down all those fucking stairs again to get a spare key.”
    “But Simon has a key. He has his own swipe card.”
    “No, I don’t. I put it in the electricity outlet, remember?”
    “But I took that one because you’d already taken mine.”
    “Gentlemen, please. Just open the fucking door, will you?”
    “Sorry.” Leif pulled her room card out of his jeans pocket, and then his own, opening the door and holding it for her.
    She took the handle of her suitcase, said “Thank you,” and marched past him, through the living room. He heard the bathroom door shut with a snap.
    “I guess she hadn’t finished having her shower before the alarm went off,” he said to Simon.
    “Judging by the color of the soles of her feet, she’s going to be in there for a hell of a long time. I wouldn’t mind a shower myself, but likely we’ll be all out of towels. I wonder if housekeeping is answering their phone or if they’re as busy as the people in the lobby.”
    “It’s worth a try. I’m damn hungry. I wouldn’t mind ordering some food as well,” said Leif.
    “Oh yes, me, too. Whatever you’re having double the order for me.”
    Simon picked up the room phone to call housekeeping as Leif looked at the hotel brochure for the room service menu. Then he put it down. There was still the problem of the missing keycard. He’d put the one he’d used to open the door in the holder to make the electricity work. Tamara’s swipe card was sitting on the table. He looked around the room. Most of their clothing from the night before was lying around, including Tamara’s little black silk bra and panties which were on the bedroom floor. Oh fuck. She was out there in the hallway with a naked ass. I wish I’d known that.
    Her shoes were neatly under a chair. His were pushed half under the table but his jacket was still hanging over the back of a chair. As was Simon’s. His jacket. He went across and picked it up riffling through the pockets. And there was the other key card. Well, that was one mystery solved. He had to tell her he couldn’t find her
