Someone Comes Looking For Her

A green car pulls into the parking lot. A pair of blue shoes hit the ground. The shoes head to the lobby. They stop at the door, and when the door opens, the shoes go in.

Mark looks up from the counter and stares at the person in front of him. It's a woman, probably in her late 20s or early 30s. She's wearing a pair of shorts and a blue tshirt. She takes off her sunglasses, and Mark can't believe how pretty she is. He also can't help but notice she's really in shape. When she puts her glasses on her head, Mark can see her biceps and her defined shoulders.

She walks up to the counter and smiles at Mark.

"Hi, how are you?" she says.

"Um fine, Thanks for asking. How are you?"

"Good. Listen, I was hoping you can help me. My friend took a trip down here a few months ago and no one has seen her since then. Can you look at a picture of her and tell me if you've seen her?"

"Sure. I'm sorry to hear she's missing. I hope you find her. Whatever I can do to help."

The woman pulls out her phone and opens up a picture. She shows Mark the picture.

Mark swallows and his heart starts beating. He's looking at a picture of Caity Lotz.

"Um, s-sorry I don't think I've seen her here. Not to my knowledge."

"Damn it. Well thanks anyways. I was really hoping I would find something here. I've been driving all over this state for 4 days." She puts the phone away, but not before checking the time. Seeing it's almost 7 pm, she decides to rest for the night.

"It's getting late, and I've been driving since 6 am. Do you have a room I can stay in for the night?"

"Sure, I do. All I need is a form of payment and a name for the booking."

"Sure, my name is-"
