- Joe POV -

-"It's about time you showed up Officer Lance! We were expecting you half an hour ago...

- I sent myself on a wild goose chase after I bumped into what seemed a suspicious man at the back entrance of the Hotel, but never mind, it was a failure with no useful outcome...

- Ok, you can fill me on this later; now, let me brief you in on what we found..." I say, walking her to the crime scene, "Here, room 3109, this afternoon, a young blonde female Caucasian , blue eyes, was found strangled, exact time still to be confirmed by the coroner. The guests in nearby rooms said they had heard screams and muffles and had reported it to the reception. By the time security came up, she was already dead...And if you assume there was a burnt rose in her hair, well you are right."

Cara stepped into the crime scene, a luxury guest room where the CSI were still collecting evidence and taking photos of the scene.  Even though her hairstyle was messier than when I had dropped her dress from the dry cleaner this morning, I couldn't help but notice how stunning she looked : She was wearing a peach coloured knee length dress with a golden bow around her waist. Cara walked around barefoot, her peach and gold heels in her right hand, inspecting the messy place.

- "The victim must have put up quite a struggle and the killer must have left in a hurry. The glass table was shattered to pieces and the carpet covered with blood... probably the young woman's ..." Cara spoke her mind, readjusting her hair in an adorable way that suited her so well.

- "The victim has been identified through the Hotel register and her passport copy as Irina Yanckovich, Russian in her mid-twenties."  I interrupted her train of thoughts, while unveiling the body from the black zipped bag. Cara observed finger marks on the victim's bruised neck and dry blood on her scalp, horror all over her face.  

-"You've seen enough, let's wait for further reports to come in tomorrow... It's time to go down, talk to the manager and check the CCTV recordings"  I added.

- Cara POV -

As Mr. Stefano Del Vecchio led me and Joe to the security control room behind the reception, I immediately noticed his Armani suit and the silky Yves Saint Laurent blue narrow tie; all perfumed with an irresistible Hugo Boss fragrance. This 31 year old manager was definitely elegant and handsome too.

Two security employees, facing a wall full of screens, were already reviewing the recordings from the system's hard disk. Joe requested to see those of the lobby, the lifts and 31st floor's cameras for the last 24 hours, while I was quietly looking around. In order to save time, they went into fast-forward with ten times the normal speed. They observed people coming in and out of the entrance, guests walking in the hallways of the 31st floor; but none were heading towards room 3109 until 3:16 PM, where the victim came in, followed a few minutes later by a man with a beard who knocked at her door, and forced himself in.

"Wait! This is the same guy I chased a while ago!" I suddenly shouted, "The one I bumped into while trying to enter from the back door; can we check the cameras there?"
