Chapter 28

"Fucking finally. I don't think I could stand this van much longer." Roy complained as Seth turned the wheel and guided the car into the parking lot of our hotel. It was a large three story brick building with windows lining the front and back walls. There were a few balconies on the third floor that seemed smaller than I had thought they were when I booked our rooms, although it's fine, we won't be using them much anyway. We're only here to get Anthony and go home, we shouldn't have to stay long.

Seth pulled into a parking spot next to the large glass double doors that led inside to the lobby. As soon as the car was parked Roy opened his door and got out of the car. He stretched his arms out as the rest of us piled out of the packed car.

"I'll go in and get us all signed in." I offered. "You guys get your stuff out of the back." I turned around and walked towards the glass doors and pulled them open, scanning the room as I walked in. There was a large wooden desk straight across the room from the door and to the left there was a long wooden table in front of a gray loveseat. There were two red chairs next to each other on either end of the table.

"Can I help you, Sir?" I looked away from the small sitting room to see a lady looking at me from behind the big desk.

"I need to sign in, I have three rooms booked." I informed her as I walked towards the desk and stood in front of it.

"Alrighty, what's your last name?" She looked back up at me after typing something into her computer.

"Dalloway."

She nodded as she handed me a piece of paper with a pen. "I'll need you to write down the license plate numbers of any vehicles you brought and then sign it at the bottom."

I did as she needed and handed it back to her.

"Thank you." She paused as she looked at the screen in front of her for a second. "Alright, it looks like all your rooms are waiting for you." The lady reached under her desk before sliding the cards to me over the counter. "Your rooms are on the third floor on the left side of the hallway. The elevator and stairs are both down that hallway and to the right."

I shortly nodded and turned away from her, walking towards the double doors and back outside to meet the rest of my team before taking our things inside.

"Okay," I called out to get their attention as I walked towards them. "Tim and Parker, you two will be sharing a room. Kyle and Roy, you two are sharing one, and that leaves me and Seth rooming together."

"Seriously? I get stuck with him?" Parker asked as he looked at Tim. They didn't get along very well but then again no one on this team likes Tim.

"Better you than me." I answered as I grabbed my things from the back of the car and shut it since everyone else had already grabbed their bags while I was inside.

I walked into the hotel once more while my team followed me through the sitting area and down the hallway on the other side of it towards the elevator. I walked into it after the door opened and waited for everyone else to pile in. "We'll catch the next one and meet you up there." Roy informed me while Seth and Parker stood behind him, agreeing to wait for the next one.

I agreed and pushed the button which had the number three painted onto it in faded white paint. The heavy doors closed and the ride up to our floor was silent. It's been a long trip and we were all worn out from it.

Kyle and Tim stepped out after me when the door opened on our floor. I walked to the wall beside the elevator and waited for the other group. I dug two hotel keys out of my pocket and handed one to Kyle while handing the other one to Tim. "Kyle, you and Roy are in room 319. Tim, you and Parker are in 320. You guys can go find your rooms, I'll wait here for the rest of them."
