Built in 1880, near the beginning of the Gilded Age, its mahogany walls were still in very good condition. The gilding on the marble columns was just starting to peel and the imported Oriental rugs did show some wear but all in all a very nice place to stay.

Many important people have stayed there due to the excellent food, courteous service, and a certain amount of discretion afforded by the management. Many important people still do, however due to the unwillingness of the management to cooperate with the press, this cannot be confirmed.

The hotel's low profile helps keep it a bit obscure which is what attracts the rich, powerful, and those who want to hide in style.

He saw the shock on Andrea’s face. After all, she was sitting there with a lump on her head and he was running off on a wild goose chase for a woman he claims he no longer loves. He wanted to help Andrea too and take care of that villain now but he was too worried about Becky. Besides, Andrea was safe now. He went over to the couch and kissed her. “I’ll be back as soon as I can.” He then grabbed his coat and hat and headed out to meet Dave.

"Wait just a minute!" - she screamed - "There is no way on God's green earth that I am leting you go out there by yourself."

"I HAVE to go!"- he said - "Please try to understand.."

"I understand plenty" - she said, gathering her coat and hat - "And I am coming with you. Becky has once again gotten between you and me. This time, dammit, I am going to DO something about it"

"Andrea, I don't.." - Barry started.

"There is nothing you can say to stop me. I am coming with you" - her tone was resolute and Barry knew it would be pointless to argue - "And you know I can help. I have been in this business longer than you."

Andrea checked that her weapons were in working condition, and said: "Let's go."

Barry could not help smiling at Andrea. He found her to be an incredible woman. He knew when she made up her mind, she followed through. He walked over to her and took her in his arms.

"You know, just because you've been a detective longer than me doesn't mean you are safe from harm." Andrea started to say something but Barry stopped her. "Don't interrupt. I am happy to have you along as it will be my first opportunity to see you in action and I'm looking forward to seeing how we work together. But I will say this. Our mission now is to save someone from almost certain harm. She is not trained in self defense nor does she have any negotiation skills. I will have to focus on what needs to get done to save her. And through all this, you are going to have to watch your back for that villain. She is also someone who you dislike. I hope that won't get in the way."

Barry hugged her closer and looked into her eyes. "This is an incredibly selfless thing you are doing and I admire you greatly for it." He stopped talking to kiss her on the forehead. He looked at her again and waited for her to say something. When she didn't, or couldn't, he kissed her again. But this kiss was a far more passionate and expressive one. It caused Andrea to drop her fangs.

Five minutes later, Barry and Andrea were racing out of the hotel to meet Dave.

Breakfast and the newspaper were delivered to her room. Amber drank her coffee and read The New York Times.

Amber folded the paper and set it down. Tears of relief trickled down her cheeks. Becky was found. Interestingly, it was Barry Grant who organized the search party and it was he who alerted the authorities to her disappearance. Amber wondered how they knew each other. She really wanted to see Becky. Maybe Mr. Grant could help her out.

Amber made a few phone calls. She had worked with Mr. Grant in the past so it only took a few minutes for her to find out where he might be, and possibly, where Becky was recovering.

Barry had come back to his room after leavng Becky to recover in the hospital. He was exhausted and Becky needed her rest too. He left her sleeping and in very capable hands to go and rest himself. He didn't remember getting from Becky's room to his bed in the hotel because his mind was spinning from his recent realization but he was awfully glad to see the pillow.

He had been sleeping for about 3 hours when the phone rang. He was still a little groggy when he answered it but managed to recognize the soft voice on the other end of the line from his days at The Closers.

"Amber?! Is that you?" Barry was very happy to hear a familiar voice but he was still tired so he made plans to meet her for dinner. After he hung up, he wrote on the pad by the phone, "Amber, 7:30, downstairs" and then fell back asleep.

Amber looked at the clock on the wall of her hotel room. She would be meeting Barry for dinner in ten minutes.

She looked at herself one last time in the mirror. Amber was thankful she packed her ruby red gown. She loved the satiny feel and she was very pleased with how it looked on her. Satisfied with her appearance, Amber picked up her purse and headed for the elevator.

Amber stepped into the empty elevator. Nervously, her fingers twirled strands of her long brown hair. She was looking forward to seeing Barry again and hopeful that he could help her reconnect with Becky.

Amber stepped off the elevator and into the main lobby. There he was waiting. Barry was as handsome as ever. She gave him a soft smile as she walked towards him.

Barry saw the elevataor doors open and saw Amber step out dressed in one of the most beautiful dresses he'd ever seen. Her long brown hair cascaded down past her shoulders and perfectly framed her face. He did not remember her being this beautiful but then again, they only saw each other around the office when they were working together at The Closers.

Barry smiled back at her and bent down a bit as she strained to give him a peck on the cheek. Her 5'2" height against Barry's 6'2" was making it difficult for Amber to deliver her greeting. "Barry," peck, "So good to see you."

"And it's great to see you, too, Amber." Barry grasped her hand in a warm handshake. "I don't recall ever seeing you in this dress while I was at The Closers." This made Amber blush. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarass you. I just meant that you look very beautiful tonight."

"Thank you, Barry. Where will we be dining tonight?"

"I've reserved a table at '21'. We should be able to talk privately and enjoy a very fine meal." Barry offered his elbow to Amber which she took and he led her out into the dark streets of NY.
