Ash's parents woke up a few minutes after Kiera left. His father left to go find a gas station, and Ash sat thinking about Kiera. "We're going to be leaving, and she was so happy to finally have someone to talk to..." his thoughts were interrupted by his father walking back into the hotel.

Ash's parents went to go get something for them to eat, and they told Ash to wait at the hotel. The clerk was still nowhere to be found.

His parents came back a little while later with some sandwiches from the store. As he ate, he wondered if he'd see Kiera again...
