Abe was probably right; it would be better and safer for her to investigate the drug ring with Mattheus at her side. If he was there, it would give her more clout with Santos as well. When Cindy arrived at the hotel she immediately rushed to Rowley’s room, expecting everyone to be there, including Mattheus and Rod. Now that the medical examiner’s report was final, they were probably all packing, getting ready to leave. Cindy slowed down as she approached the door. What if Mattheus was upset to see her? Rod would certainly be. It didn’t matter. Cindy and Mattheus weren’t down here simply to make people happy but to find a possible killer on the loose. When Cindy got to the room, once again the door was half open. Cindy knocked anyway. “Come in, come in,” a male voice Cindy hadn’t heard before responded. Cindy pushed the door open and walked in. To her surprise, the room was almost empty. Only Rowley and an attractive older man were sitting side by side on a sofa in the corner.
