[3rd Pov]
Hotel

Albert and Selozar had already gotten near the hotel after the long drive, all they were doing was parking the car in the parking lot of the hotel. Luckily there was open spots all around and even more lucky, there was one next to Jake's car which he started parking next to his car. All the ones in Jake's car see that Albert has arrived already, they start getting out of the car with Rust keeping a close eye on Alone, securing him. That did make him annoyed but he kept calm about it, he did have this grin wishing them all death and his eyes showed hatred whenever he looked at someone.

"Are we just gonna stand here? This is why one of you usually get hurt, you don't move quick when you're supposed to." Alone said, his eyes narrowed and his teeth razor sharp like clenched together. He clenched his fist angrily, glaring hatred. Albert was quiet for a brief moment, taking a step towards him, glaring back and felt his blood boiling in his veins. "You can. You didn't exactly pack any single thing. Only paying customers are allowed to go in to stay." Albert says seeing Alones expression change in a split second when he realizes what he meant in his sentence. He had a stronger glare now, his other fist clenching and shallow breaths escaping to show his anger. During this tension the others were standing at silence not having any words to say except for Adam of course.

"A-Albert w-we should get inside the building, there might be something bad and I got him. You don't need to worry about getting a room for him." Adam said, his vision looking away to the ground since all eyes were on him. "That's not necessary Adam. We are still paying equally but thank you." Albert had calmed down from feeling anger rising, his glare disappearing slowly into a much calmer stare then took a glimpse over at Selozar. Which calmed him even more.

A few more words were said around then they all walked in the building entering the entrance with three of them remembering the place. Some things did change but it wasn't much. The inside still looked well organized and pretty just like they admired at their first time here. All six of them walk to the front seeing a very familiar face, his uniform is in the color red, there was a small glass bowl of strawberries resting in front of him too. "Hi there! How may I be of your service?" They read his name off from his name tag he had on as a pin, it read off Sammy.

Sammy's happy expression changed into a bit of shock realizing something. His eyes were looking at all of them, he looked especially at Albert, Jake, and Adam remembering their faces when they once came here. His eyes looked over at Selozar, Alone and Rust not remembering their faces meaning they're new people here. New people to assume they're together in a relationship. Although he had seen seconds later Albert and Selozar holding hands, both staying close to each other and taking glimpses with complete love shown in their eyes reflecting one another.

Sammy then suddenly changed into a worried one looking at Rust, he saw the very tall man with the mask and long cloak was bleeding, told by the bloody stains. "Oh my gosh! Are you okay, why are you bleeding?" Sammy questioned concern for his customer, though taking steps back feeling a little frightened of it. "Of course I am, if I may ask what made you think this was my blood? It could be my victims blood or someone you knew. Would you still worry about me, Sammy?" Rust responds seeing the man in uniform paralyzed for a second. His face read terror, there was a slight tremble too in his hands. "Rust!" Jake whispered out upset.

"W-We're deeply sorry for that, he just got punched in the face thinking it would be funny to scare people and yet he still wants another one." Adam spoke up quickly worried for all of their lives being close to an ending. Sammy slowly nodded his head, unfreezing himself into getting close to the front. "What would it be this time?..." Terror was washing away from his soul, his breath decreasing down to a normal breathing pace. "Two rooms. One room with two regular size beds and one king size. For the second room just two regular size beds. Please." Adam said, having a smile on his face. "...Please no mistakes this time." He blushed.

"R-Right uh.. a day cost 156 dollars, then for two rooms it would be 312 dollars." Sammy said ready to register their names in about to speak up until Albert said some words. "We are paying in cash and we're staying for two days here." He says getting money out from his wallet, the other two as well got money out to split it up. Sammy stood there quite surprised to hear Albert talk a lot more. The first time he saw him he was in complete silence, seeming like he was going through something but now he saw a brighter look in him but there still were some things he couldn't explain.

After a short moment later after paying and getting their names in including getting the key, they were about to leave out to their rooms until Albert stood behind a little talking with Sammy but then caught up to Selozar walking next to him. Albert passed a strawberry over to Selozar, telling him to enjoy it in a gentle tone. The quiet male thanked him for the fruit, making him think he is a true angel bringing down gifts to him. He started eating it, taking small bites out of it. "Okay guys- Sammy just told me there are some places around where we can stay too. There is a pool, rooms people can relax in that are public to whoever bought a room, and that's just it."

"The others aren't coming for a while but we have the chance to look around if any of you want." All the others heard him out with some words said. Some of them are interested in it but others have their own troubled thoughts. This was gonna be another day and night spent in the hotel, everyone carried some hope in them wishing for nothing terrible to happen. Although first this sort of issue came down, Alone needed to plan something with the other two but the hatred kept on growing stronger to see their faces especially the two lovebirds. He hoped he can control his anger while facing everyone, he did want to get back to his family knowing they're at a very 'safe place' from allies. His hope, it was hoping for them to be okay and wouldn't want them too involved in this again.

First they needed to track them all three down, plan something to find them all and either start a fight with one side or both. The only problem he noticed is all of them three are far beyond the strength the others carry. This will be hard, his hope too was to find a way for his stubborn side to stand down and go back to hurting the other side. Perhaps after that if it happens, there will be a surprise for all the friends near. Though he surprisedly was getting his choices mixed up remembering what they did. They didn't kill him, they didn't keep him locked, they let his wife live knowing she carried their unborn child, one even dared to take out his hand to make him turn around. There might not really be surprises after all with what he intends.
