The Mafia's Little Doll
My chest felt heavy.
Then suddenly, the elevator door opened and a woman ran out screaming.
“Kevin! Kevin! No, no, no!”
Everyone turned. The receptionist rushed toward her. “Kate, what’s wrong?”
The woman could barely talk between sobs. “Kevin is dead! He’s dead!”
The room went still.
“Where?” one of the guards asked.
“Room 154,” she said, crying harder.
My heart stopped. That was right next to our room.
The guards took off running, and I followed. The hallway felt longer than usual. When we reached room 154, the door was wide open.
