I get down to the lobby after a boring and awkward elevator ride with a lady and her dog. I don't think her dog liked me very much because he kept growling at me like a wolf. When the elevator reached the lobby, I basically ran out as soon as the door was open wide enough for me to slip out. I walk to the beverage area and before I could grab a cup, someone took my arm with what felt like enough force to break it. I wanted to say something in that moment but they had their hand over my mouth. 

They turn a corner and practically shoved next to the nearest vending machine, where no one would be able to see us if they were passing by. They turned out to be a she. 

She looks me dead in the eye and says "I am just like you. I can help you, but you have to let me..." I couldn't focus on the rest of what she was saying because of her beautiful brown and golden eyes. She snaps and says "Are you even listening to me?" 

I don't know what to say so I just say the first thing that I remember her saying, "Um yeah, you said you know I am like you and that you can help me, or something." I don't want her to leave so I decide the only rational thing to do is to say, " I am Ryan by the way. I was going to tell you that but you kind of kidnapped me before I could." 

She smiles and replies with, "Oh yeah, sorry. I'm Navi (Nah-Vee). Anyways, now that I have given my speech, where is your room." She pulls out her phone and gives it to me and says, "Put your number in." I do as she says. I included my room number too, because I am assuming that I am going to be here for a while. She said thanks and that she will see me around here. I couldn't help but wonder how she got here.
