December 2001
They arrived at their motel fairly early. Jonny beamed, "Found it for £20 a night." Chris chuckled, "What a deal, hopefully, it doesn't have bed bugs." Jonny said, "Speaking of beds, there's only one. Since I paid for the room, your sleeping on the floor or something." Chris shrugged, "A floor at a motel, no way." Jonny hummed, "We can figure something out." Jonny said, "I'll get the keys, you just start unloading the car." Chris nodded and got out Jonny and his bags. Jonny was already at the reception desk getting the keys.
They soon got into the elevator. Jonny handed Chris one of the keycards. After a few additional seconds in the elevator, Chris asked, "Do you think that the elevator is even moving?" Jonny looked down, "I- don't think so. Try uhm, hitting the call button." Chris nodded and he pressed the button.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm stuck in this elevator?"
"Okay, remain calm. Let me just contact the-"
Beep.
Chris asked, "Jonny, you alright?" He just nodded. Chris smiled, "It'll only be a few minutes now." Jonny tapped his fingers on the side of the elevator. He asked, "How long has it been?" Chris said, "Only a few minutes. I wouldn't worry." Jonny complained, "I'm not a fan of elevators. One of my fears is to be stuck in one." Chris shrugged, "It's not that bad though. Right, Jonny?"
Jonny looked up and him and exhaled sharply, "Yeah, I guess it's not that bad." Jonny closed his eyes and frowned. He tapped his foot against the floor. Chris awkwardly patted his shoulder, "Jonny, even if the elevator falls it can't go down that far." Jonny chuckled and nodded, "Yeah. I mean the building is small anyway."
45 Minutes of Encouraging Elevator Talk Later
The doors finally opened and Jonny went rushing out. Chris chuckled and looked down at the card and began walking down the hall. Jonny was already in the room. He placed his backpack down in the middle of the floor. Chris sniffed the air dramatically, "Smells awful." Jonny nodded and looked around, "Yeah but, I don't see any bugs." Jonny sighed, "I guess if you don't wanna sleep on the floor you can sleep next to me." Chris nodded and put down his bag, "Sure." Jonny asked, "Wanna get some lunch?" Chris smiled, "Of course Jonnyboy." Jonny said, "I'm not taking the elevator, I'm not getting stuck again." Chris rolled his eyes, "Whatever, I'll go down the stairs too." Chris and Jonny walked down the emergency stairs slowly. Chris huffed, "I feel like I haven't gone on stairs in forever." Jonny nodded, "Yeah, you are just out of shape." Chris smiled, "You didn't have to word it so harshly."
