The Town

Chapter 13

They turned the corner to expose a giant building, Glamour Hotel. It was graffitied everywhere and the L and M that spell Glamour were on the ground shattered. And the door was leaking. "What the hells wrong with the font door?" Asked Jonah. "The first three floors are flooded with ocean water, there are actual animals inside like sharks and shit" answered Eden.

"Well then how do you expect us to get up to the damn penthouse?" Asked Thea rising her voice "would you shut up?! We aren't exactly alone in this fucking town, look we get up by the back entrance, the garage is flooded but since it's a fancy hotel they have like a walk way where the staff can go inside from parking lot. That walkway isn't flooded" said Eden in a hushed yell. "Lead the way" said Silas gesturing with his gun.

She led them to the back, there were two huge garage doors and one single door. "That's our way in" said Eden gesturing to the door. Silas went up to it with caution and jiggled the handle, "it's locked" he said looking back with and annoyed expression. Eden walked up to him. "Well no shit Sherlock, I'm not leaving my base unlocked and susceptible to those fucked up fears" she said then bending down and grabbing something from the small hole next to the base of the door, a bobby pin. "What is that?" Asked Silas. When she inserted the bobby pin into the key hole Thea and Jonah's guns rose to the door, they still weren't sure if they could trust her.

Silas was though, she was like him, she knew how to make a bad reality better. Eden then swung open the door, she must have been a master at breaking and entering unscathed. "Ta Da" she said looking at Silas. They were only a couple of feet away from each other. Eden was about to go in when Silas grabbed wrapped his arm around her waist to stop her. "You don't go in first" he said.

He couldn't lead on that he trusted Eden because then he would be questioned if he just trust her because she has a pretty face. She looked down to his arm then back at him "fine then you go right ahead" she said moving a little forward to turn on the light switch. Then Silas went inside and Eden followed. It was exactly how she described the parking garage was completely floors there wasn't one of any air bubbles.

Thea and Jonah finally came inside. "Woah" said Thea. "We have to hurry" said Eden. "Why?" Asked Silas. And just when he said that Eden saw a huge Bull shark turn the corner. "Shit, Frankie. Run!" She said then scurrying down the wall way. "Why? What's wrong?" They said running after her. "Frankie likes to hit the glass" and immediately they knew by they had to hurry, there were cracks in the glass. One hit might take it out especially by a bull shark. They were almost at the door to the inside when Frankie decided the glass was a piñata. He hit the glass, shattering it. Water began to flood in. Eden swung open the door and ran inside. So did the others and Jonah closed the door, slamming it hard.

The inside was a cement made servants quarter. "So now what?! That was are only way in and out" said Thea frustrated and running her hand through her long brown hair. "Shut up, we're taking the elevator" said Eden panting and gesturing to the elevator in the back of the room. "It's flooded, does that even work?" Asked Silas. "No, and the actual elevator crashed down to the underground basement two weeks ago" said Eden getting a crowbar and latching in between the two metal doors.

"You've been awake for two weeks?!" Asked Thea angrily. "Yeah so... The elevator dropped the first time I discovered this place" responded and annoyed Eden. "So how do we get up?" Asked Jonah. "I made this whole pulley system with a car hood" said Eden opening the doors to black emptiness. "It's like a human size dumbwaiter" she pulled in the ropes to expose a red car hood. "Only Two at a time" said Eden. "Silas you go, I can trust you to throw her off the hood if she gets into trouble" said Thea. Silas nodded and then stepped onto the hood as did Eden.

She started pulling the ropes and then stopped when they reached the 4th floor. "Grab the flashlight out of my bag" she said. He shuffled in the bag for a bit. Then he found it and clicked it on. "Good now I can see" she said smiling. She kept pulling and pulling the ropes. Until they finally made it, the penthouse. "Open the doors" she said. Only the doors for the servant quarters needed a crowbar because it was shirty this is good enough to be pride opened by hands. He did so. And exposed a beautiful and untouched penthouse.

"You weren't kidding" he said then going into the penthouse. She lowered the hood. And when she felt the weight she knew to pull the ropes. Silas start rummaging through the things in the penthouse. The living room was gorgeous it had three white couches that went with the white walls. It had a long and extravagant staircase. And has a gold flat screen tv (that didn't work). The kitchen was there and luxurious with black granite. The lights went even lights, the high ceilings allowed them to have chandeliers. Thea and Jonah were finally up the elevator shaft. And the had the same expression on there face as Silas did. Even Thea who was born and raised rich.

Telling by the sun they knew that it was getting late. "We should stay here the night" said Silas, Jonah nodded but, Thea was about to protest. "No way!" She said. Silas ignored her "can we?" He asked Eden. "Yeah, there are rooms upstairs, like three I think. Untouched" she said laying down on one of the couches. "No!" Yelled Thea. The boys ascended the stairs with Eden completing ignoring Thea's protest.
