Nov - Quand vient la nuit partie 2
"Appearances are often deceptive because a broken heart is invisible and its scars are indelible"

It's been a while since Florian did not drive. It was a weird feeling to have back a wheel in his hands. But he couldn't deny it, it was releasing. There was a kind of freedom in driving that Florian missed a lot.
Three years wasted. Three damn years. It could have been more, but it was already too much. Florian didn't like to waste time. It is too precious. Even if he was caring, disciplined and charismatic, everything could shut down if you dared to waste his time. Unfortunately he wasted his own time by his own negligence.
He was snitched on. Someone gave his name. Usually he was persuasive and very inconspicuous. It was good qualities for someone who made fake money. But some new partner wasn't tough enough. He knew his name. He knew it not even a week after he was locked. He will take care of it. But not right now.
Right now, he had to find Rebecca and Youri. Wherever they were.
« This day will definitely never ends. « he thought
He didn't want to fight. Just know where they were and have a little conversation. Was she crazy ? What went through her mind to think she could leave ? And take his son with her. The only thought about losing them gave a headache to Florian.
He took a deep breath and grabbed a cigarette. While he was lighting it he shook his head slowly. Florian knew Rebecca, and he knew that if she had the audacity to make a move so bold, she must be upset. Enraged maybe. It's not her type. Even less with him. But when she was, he must lay down.
He took Alexei's phone. Florian couldn't take his own, it was perfectly destroyed before police arrived to arrest him. But he made sure that Alexei had the location of Rebecca on his phone. He just prayed that she didn't turn it down. She didn't.
« Gott sei Dank / Thanks god » Florian whispered to himself
At least a good news today. When he finally arrived at the address, he discovered a hotel. Florian parked and closed his eyes tightly and let his head drop on the head of his seat. She took his son to a hotel ? He better be a five stars or she better book a suite. He only wants the best for his blood. He only wants the best for her.
Florian stepped out of the car, trying to bring together his last drop of strength. He walked through the door and went to the receptionist.
« Good evening Sir and welcome to the Newton Hotel, how may I help you » the receptionist said in an enthusiastic tone
« Good evening, could you tell me if Mrs Shakur Rebecca booked a room in here ? « he asked laying on the counter
« Everything for you Sir » she answered which a flirtatious smile
Florian kept a straight face. He didn't have time for that. He wasn't here to play. He already has too many issues. Too many women issues. He didn't even take a break since he is out. This flirtatious vibe ? It was the last of his problems.
When the receptionist realized he wasn't down for it, she looked back at her screen and looked for the name he gave her.
« Yea Mrs Shakur booked a room today, do you want me to call her ? Who is asking for her ? » the receptionist said while grabbing the phone
« Can I have the room number ? » Florian said looking at her
« Unfortunately sir, I can only give it to you if Mrs Shakur allowed me to »
