She hated waiting for things to happen, but right now she didn’t have a choice. Mac had run a background check on Chad Hopkins, the temporary valet sent over by the staffing agency. Turned out, the real Chad Hopkins wasn’t actually at work this weekend. Mac had run down his cell phone number and reached him in Las Vegas, where he was enjoying a spur-of-the-moment vacation. After threatening to rat him out to the staffing agency, Mac learned that Chad had shown up for work Wednesday, but some guy approached him and offered him five-thousand dollars cash for his weekend gig, giving some story about being a tabloid photographer who needed to be on site at the lodge to photograph a celebrity. The guy making the offer wouldn’t give his name, but Chad got the license plate on his vehicle, just in case the whole thing turned out to be a scam. Mac traced the vehicle tag to a Blake Johnson of Los Angeles, and a Google search of the man confirmed he was the person pictured in the background of Adam’s photo.
