"Winner?" said Rick walking towards me in my mom's room. Then he sat beside me. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" Then he got up and closed the door and put the Do not disturb sign up. "Winner, speak to me." I took a deep breath and started. "Well, I think my mom's in trouble. She called this place and said she's visiting a relative and we have no relatives in the area. And I found these bills in her pillow case. My mom's working as a stripper and I think someone seduced her. I'm worried." I said choking on tears. "Wait, so you didn't know she was working as a stripper?", said Rick surprised. "No, I'd never let her do that to her self." "Okay, let's go and walk around at the nearest strip clubs." "Alright, are you done that application by the way?", heading back to my room. "Yeah, I'll give it to that girl Suzy at the front desk when we leave. By the way, can I borrow a sweater? I'm freezing." he as he walked towards the desk to get the application. "Yeah, sure. This place will provide clothing for you too. Here's a warm one. Actually, it's one of my favourites." Then he took it and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you Winner. I love you." My face lit up so red. "No problem, love you too." I was starting to get comfortable with this stuff. I felt all fuzzy inside. "Let's go." said Rick as he stood by the door holding out his hand for me to hold it. I smiled and said "Let's go." And then we walk to the front desk holding hands. "Here, Suzy. You don't mind me calling you Suzy, do you?" said Rick giving Suzy the application with his free hand. And he added the cutest smile ever. "Yeah, it's okay. But we're sort limited on space. Would you two be comfortable sleeping on one bed?". The smile Rick gave me was priceless. "If it's okay with Winner then it's good with me." "I'm cool with it." "Alright, so is that it?" "Uhm.." then Rick turned to me. "Well we're where going to go out for a while. Can I have one of the cell phones?", I said biting my nails and expecting a no. "It's kind of late but I'll give to until 10 pm. Just make sure you answer your phone or you know how these people are. They send the police. Here you go.", said Suzy smiling. "Thank you Suzy.", I said taking the phone and heading for the door still holding Rick's hand.
