Skylox Short Stories

Orphanage [3]

The man was gone by this time, so we stopped and asked for directions. It was about midnight when we finally reached Fourth and Fremont.

Everyone took in the surroundings. Yes it was cheap, but it was better than the hell we all were in. Newt looked at the desk, which no one was behind.

"So... what now?" I asked. I've never been to a hotel considering the clerk lady kept us locked up most of the time.

"Ooh a bell!" Jerome said. He rang the bell repetitively.

Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding!

"Okay, okay! I'm coming!" A lady shouted ((almost wrote shitted)). Jerome stopped ringing the bell and we exchanged glances.

"The bell summons the lady?" Jerome asked.

"I guess." I shrugged. A lady in glasses and a miniskirt walked up to the counter.

"We'd like some rooms please." I said.

"How many?" I glanced around at the four of us.

"Can we have two rooms with two beds in each?" I asked.

"Sure." She said. I handed her the money and she handed me some back, TYping something on the computer. She handed me two keys.

"Second floor room 205 and 207." She said.

"Thanks!" I smiled.
