Karen was scared, and pissed, probably more pissed than scared. Tess was missing, and she knew that something other than human had taken her. The cops of course were being stupidly useless. Lucille, was currently sitting in the car, while Karen went to check into this stupid hotel that was the last place Tess was seen. The cops had called it a dead end, but Karen didn't believe them, neither did Lucille. There had been four missing cases in the last year that the person had been last seen near this hotel. This crappy hotel that was too far from town to be considered part of their hometown, but too close to be a worthwhile stopping point if you were tired. You might as well just head the rest of the way into town. 

Why had Tess been at this hotel anyway? Karen wondered to herself as she entered the office. There was a married couple running the place, that was a surprise for Karen. She had expected a sleazy looking guy, maybe like the guy who was in [i]Identity[/i]. She was also surprised to see the attractive looking man at the check-in counter. He was wearing a suit, one that wasn't tailored, and was booking a room for two. [i]Damn[/i], she thought to herself. He moved past her and out to the lot, where a nice black car was, another attractive guy in a suit closed the trunk to the car. Classic, had to be. Lucille would probably strike up a conversation with them, even if was just about the car. 

"Can I help you?" The guy behind the counter asked. 

"Yeah, I need a room. Two beds please." He nodded and typed at his computer for a few seconds. He asked a few questions, which Karen answered easily, before handing her two electronic swipe keys. "Thank you." She smiled at the guy and his wife before heading back outside. "We've got a room, room 112." Karen held up the plastic key cards, passing one to Lucille in the car.
