They Come Back Different

Luke and Jake exit the hotel, where they were staying.   They walked out all the saw four trails in all different directions.   They read the sign, where it saw, Traven.  "This is where we must go." said Luke   "Are you sure?" asked Jake,    "It says Traven, I need a drink," he said as they started on the trail.  They walked, "Luke, I wonder why Captain Jon didn't want to get off his boat.  There's a large hotel here, so it can't be that bad." said Jake   "He said something about the river that had healing powers. " explained Luke   "So what do you know about it?" he asked as they saw the Traven from a distance.   "Thank god, I thought we'll be walking all day for a beer," said Jake as they entered the Traven.    "it doesn't make sense, this place is beautiful.  Captian Jon said that this island has bad yu-yu, you." said Luke as they sat and ordered a beer.   "Bad luck you are so right.  People dive into the river of wishes and don't release that everything has a price." said the bartender.

"We have two draft beer.  May I ask you what kind of bad luck are you talking about?'" asked Jake  "Well for every bad wish, you make a good one will take its place.  The river does what it wants, whatever feels right.  If you wish doesn't feel right, she'll make it right." said the bartender  "What do you mean by that? You just confused me." asked Luke  "Well, if you want someone to die, or to drown, that person must have done something really bad for you to want to kill him.  If you kill in for no good reason, the river will make you pay, in its own way." he explained.   "Can I ask you something in confidence." said Jake  "Sure, what is that you want?" said the bartender  "What makes you think I want something?" asked Jake   "Your expression tells a lot." he replied   "if you need some poison for large rats that been eating everything in your house, what will you use?" Jake asked   The bartender walked away and come back with a small black bottle. "Here you go, put this in some leftovers and the rat problem will be gone," he said as he handed him the bottle.

"Are you sure this will work?" he asked  "Of course, you don't see any rats around here, do you?" he said with a smile as he walks away to serve someone else.     Luke lead over, "What are you doing?" he asked   "We're not going back home with this spoil fat ass." replied Jake  "But, he's the one with the money.  He's our friend, dude." said Luke  "Look, once he's gone, we'll clean out the bank accounts and disappear anywhere in the world." explained Jake    "Dude I really don't want to do this." said Jake  "Too bad, we're doing this.  Here put this in your pocket." said  Jake as he handed him the bottle.   "I'm not holding anything, you're on your own." he replied     "Where are you going?' asked Jake   "I'm going back to the hotel, the empty hotel.  Tell me why are we the only ones staying there." asked Luke  "Dude you crazy, they are others staying here beside us." said Jake  "Really, well, I don't know what you saw, but all I saw were bell bags and people that work there.  We are the only customers." said Luke   

"Jake you making something out of nothing to change the subject.  You are helping me, that is why we are here." said Jake  "No that why you're here, I just wanted a free vacation." he replied   "Well, that's is actually what you getting, wait for me, I'm kind of hungry I minus well go eat my food, then we can all head to the river of wishes." said Jake as he   walked towards Luke and then walked right by him towards the hotel.  

They went straight to the elevators.  After standing there for five minutes waiting, they decided to take the stairs.   "Dude, let's wait five more minutes." said Luke  "Look, this shit isn't working. We're going to be standing here all day.  I'm taking the steps, you want to wait, that's on you." said Jake as he went through the emergency exit leading to the steps.  Luke watched as he left, "That's on you going up the steps is worst then going down.  I'll wait." he said as he stood there waiting for the elevator.    Luke began to climb the stairs.  When he arrived on the third-floor stairway, he sat on the step to rest and catch his breath.  After a minute he went on his way up the steps again.    Now he reaches the sixth floor.   Jake's feet were really tired and he desperately needs some water.   "Shit, maybe I should've waited for the elevator, I can use some water right now," he said as he stopped, and decided to enter that floor.

He opened the heavy door, as he looks at the long hallway.  The walls were black and the rug was red.  There were eight doors, all red.  Jake quickly knocked on the first door, room number 600.  He knocked a couple more times, no answer.   Jake was about to walk away from the door ajar itself.   "What the hell."  he turns back towards the door, "Hello, is it possible you can give me a glass of water, it could be from the sink. Please." he said as he approaches the opened door and glanced inside.  "Hello," he said again as he walked through the room and notices a couple dead on the floor. Jake heart began to beat fast, he ran out of the room and ran to the next door.   Before he knocks, he checks first to see if the door was also opened.
