Unable to reach her room before casino security can find her, she quickly hides in an unlocked room . . . only to find a dead body. <p/><b>THE EX-CON: </b>Recently released from prison, Nick Patterson hasn't felt hope in a long time, but the theft job he "inherited" in prison promises to change that. Determined to improve his life, while evading another stint in prison, he enters hotel room 633 to find his fence dead and a terrified Hailey. <p/><b>THE PROFESSOR: </b>American History professor Adrian Jensen learns of the death of his professional nemesis, Charles Walker, the night after he received Walker's latest research.
