An unsettling call...

Once the bar cleared, Mr. Ryder made his phone call. He'd heard enough of the conversation between the sexy Ms. Brenda Smith and her staff to know the phone in his room would likely be bugged and his luggage would be thoroughly searched. He'd have been disappointed if they'd done anything less… He wasn't worried about being searched—in fact he'd planned for it. He'd even made sure the combination to his briefcase was easy, but not too easy, to crack. He just wished he could have prepared the room a little himself first so he could watch them at it. Maybe he'd return the favor by visiting Ms. Smith's room for a little preparation of his own—he wouldn't mind getting a better view of those long legs—and whatever else she was hiding under that sexy suit.

He considered taking a stroll outside while he waited—could even show Mr. Wong where he'd parked his bike, but he decided it would be more fun to watch and see how long it took him to find it.
