fourteen.

Good to see you again.

I took a deep breath before exiting my room. Everyone is at the club 30 occupied. This is the perfect time to ramble around. I walked down the hallways quietly. I can hear the loud music coming from the club. I approached the lobby looking around. Miss. Thompson said everyone died in a different way. It took place at this hotel, that's going to be hard to figure out. I headed towards the front desk & begin to investigate. So far, just paperwork. Last time I was over here, I found a heart-shaped key. There's got to be something new here that can give me a clue.

"What the fuck are you doing?"

Fuck! Where did she come from? I rolled my eyes & ignored her. Can't let her interfere with my private mission.

"Hello? Do you hear me?" Diana said. Ugh, her voice is so annoying. It's high-pitched & squeaky, I like it better when she sings.

"Leave me alone."

"I'll leave you alone when you tell me what the fuck are you doing?" She sassed.

I huffed while going through the paperwork "it's none of your business."

"It is my business, I'm half partner of this hotel. So everything is my business" she said leaning on the desk.

"Aren't you suppose to be performing?"

"My set comes in last but that's not the point. You still haven't answered my question" she said.

"Diana, leave me alone."

"Are you trying to escape?" She whispered.

I stop what I was doing & sat up. Did I make this obvious? "Alright, what do I have to do to make you hush about this?"

"Who said I wanted something?" She smirked.

"Speak your desire."

"I want a bottle of Stella Black Rose" she demanded.

"How the fuck am I suppose to find that?"

"In the kitchen, it's closed during the act. You can sneak back there & grab it for me. Bring it to my room, it's #34. Don't let Miss. Thompson catch you either" she added.

"Fine, now off you go." I continued to search for clues. Her footsteps disappearing tells me she's gone. I opened a file cabinet to see a bunch of files. I scanned through them, paperwork again. There's nothing new around this front desk. I stood up & came from around the desk. I went over by the couches & check underneath the cushions.

"Looking for money?"

I immediately stood up looking guilty as ever. My expression changed as I saw who it was.

"Darryl?"

"That's me" he flashed a smile.

"You look good."

"So does you" he smirked.

"So, where are you coming from?"

"New York, I decided to stop by the hotel for a quick rest" he confessed.

"Oh really?"

He hummed in response. He eyed me up & down looking at my attire. I blushed as his seductive eyes shined with happiness.

"See something you like?"

"Definitely" he growled. He came towards me with his shiny leather outfit on. He's a little taller then me so that was most definitely a turn on. He pulled me towards him pushing his hard chest on me. He roamed his hands all over my back. His touch was cold but somewhat warm.

"Your a hungry tiger."

"I've been waiting for you all day" he whispered. He stroked my chin making me let out a whimper.

"I've been thinking about you a lot lately. You've been on my mind like wine."

"You have no idea how much I wanted to taste those lips of yours" he said.

He lifted me up almost close to his lips. His minty breath made me anxious.

"Kiss me." He placed his soft lips on mines. Connecting our lips together as we moved in a sync. I felt a cold presence surrounding the room. A dark shadow appeared around the corner from the hallway. Its brown eyes glowed showing no emotion. Suddenly, I don't have the ability to go further.

I stopped the kiss immediately. Darryl gave me a confused look "what's the matter?"

"Nothing, its just I have something important to do."

"Can it wait?" He asked.

"No, it can't." I walked off but soon turned back around.

"It was good to see you again."

I walked towards the hallway where that door was. Its quiet, too quiet as a matter of fact. I approached the door. With a shaky hand I took out the key but before I could put it in. It opened by itself.

"Come in."
