"Veronica dear, time for breakfast" called the receptionist.
Veronica moans and opens the door to find the lady holding a delicious plate of scrambled eggs and crispy bacon for her on the other side. "Thanks but stop calling me Veronica, you don't know me". "Oh but I do dear" the lady replied handing Veronica her breakfast and walking away.
Veronica takes the breakfast and goes back inside her room.
She checks her phone and receives two missed calls from a private number and an anonymous message with an unfamiliar address. She knows something's not right. First she has this weird feeling about the receptionist which she hadn't seen since she was little, then the phone calls and messages... Was someone looking for her? Was somebody trying to go after her? Was this more than just a text? Whatever it was, she didn't feel safe. She had to get out of the hotel, as far away from anyone as possible. Veronica rushed to check out and asked the lady when she could get a cab to get out of town. "Wait a minute dear. You don't want to leave do you? There is something interesting at sunset. Sunset, sunset, sunset" the lady said willingly.
"Yes I do want to leave but why do you keep on saying sunset?" Veronica asked suspiciously.
"You will figure it out my dear. You have always been so bright and smart. I think you can work this one out on your own. But just remember, you've got until noon to figure it out..."
Veronica had no idea what the lady was talking about but she just nodded and started to walk towards the exit when she said; "Sorry I didn't get your name".
"That's not important right now my dear. You need to go" the lady replied.
Sunset.
