At exactly 6:00 AM, Zach closed the lodge door behind him and met Shaun as he leaned against the veranda railing. The car engine he heard coming up the drive was the security detail from Casper Shaun had hired.
“Did you talk to J.J.?” Zach asked.
“Yes. He’s pissed about the fire, and the flood.” At Zach’s raised brow, he added, “I found a burst pipe last night at the rear of cabin three. It had a little help getting inside the structure. That must have been what you saw before the fire, all the water coming out under the front door and into the parking lot. The entire cabin has about two inches of water in it. Carli will need to call one of those restoration companies, see what can be salvaged. Maybe it’s only the floor and not the drywall and cabinets that will need to be replaced.
