I bit my lip in shock, wondering if he's looking for "me."He said firmly,"Hello,i'm Officer Garza.I'm just doing a quick routine check on the motel for a missing person...do you know a Robert Martinez?"He looked fiercely.I quickly denied,"Ummmm....no I do not know...umm...this Robert guy..."I said,regreting my hesitation.He looked at me in suspicion."What's your name?"He asked me.What should I say!?! I panicked."Ummm...my name?Yes...umm...my name is...Trevor Collins..."That was my fake name!I could've thought of a better name!The officer wrote it in his notepad."Ok...thank you for your cooperation,sir.Please be careful."I replied."YES SIR!!I PROMISE!!"He walked back to his squad car.I watched him leave the motel parking lot,just to make sure he left.
I closed the door,exhausted from hard days work.I plummeted on the moldy bed,loging into Facebook on my laptop.The news feed had a bunch of shit like,"Oh no..do you think Robert got kidnapped?Is he dead?I'm regreting the things I ever did that hurt him." I scuffled at the apologizing statement.I went to Joe's page.All of his statements were him saying that he was so sorry.I was tired of it.I slammed my laptop's screen,and decided to watch t.v.
I skimmed every channel,but each one had the news story of my disappearance."Wow."The word tumbled out of my mouth.I turned off the t.v,and decided to force myself to sleep.
Few hours later,I woke up to a noise outside the room's window.I quietly got up, moving towards the coat rack.I gripped it tightly,as I turned the knob to the door.As it creaked open,I swung the wooden stick,knocking the person to the ground.I dropped the rack to the sight of the person's facial features."Joe!!!" I yelled,in shock.
