Richard, nervous about what he was going to find when he showed up at the hotel, had paused to recruit someone to help him.
His sister.
Rose, despite being the oldest, was the most dramatic when it came to offering assistance. While she had always helped when asked, she did always make a big fuss of it. It was why Richard, and Andrew, didn't ask her for help often during their childhood.
Neither of them had wanted to put up with her theatrics.
However, this was not like their childhood, and Richard didn't want to turn to his parents in fear that what they found in the hotel room was truly, terribly, not good. He wasn't expecting to find a body. Dear god, that would be the worst thing he could even imagine, but hearing the despair in Maxwell's voice had dug up a memory from around the time that Andrew's Mom had passed.
