The doctor was stitching the wound
on Don when the phone rang. The nurse who was with the doctor placed down the
tray with the surgical tools. He then picked up the phone.
“Hotel California.”
“VV09, I am in need of assistance.
I am wounded at the left ribs. GSW.” The call was recorded at 2304hrs. The nurse
looked to the doctor.
“VV09 coming in hard. Left ribs.
GSW.” The Nurse then continued on. He took the tablet on the nearby table and
read the update on VV09.
“VV09 is behind on the
subscription.” The nurse muttered to himself. Then he chose to decide on the
patient. He had known VV09 and was in several times. The nurse looked at the tablet.
“I know her well. She will pay later.”
“Bitches do.” The Doctor smiled
behind the face mask.
The nurse then walked to the
elevator. He went down two levels and exited at the lobby pushing the wheel
chair.
“Hey you. Where is my father?” Danny
ever impatient asked. “It’s now 2300hrs.”
“2310hrs. and he is under recovery.
You can’t move him just yet. He needs to be stabilized.” The nurse told the
other. “Now let me take care of next incoming patient. “
“Bust night, huh? Make sure my old
man does not die or it will be you on the gurney.”
The nurse ignored Danny and pushed
past the other. He approached the doorway. He reached for the remote in his
pocket to open the door. There was another switch by the side of the door which
the ones at the lobby can open the door there. The nurse saw VV09 had reached
and was held up by the two guys he had seen outside.
“She collapsed upon arrival.” Glenn
was the one who spoke. “We carried her here. Her car stalled down the road.’
The nurse offered the wheel chair
and then pushed the lady back into the hotel to the side door. He did not
wasn’t the others to see her. He stopped at the doorway and then turned towards
Glenn.
“You may want to come in. The night
is still young and the weather could turn colder tonight.” The nurse offered
the hospitality to the duo. “I will bring food and drinks down.”
“No thanks, we will stay here.”
Glenn declined the offer. It read 2316hrs. “It’s still early for me to go to
bed alone.”
It was Randy who was stunned. He
was already stepping on his toes to keep warm.
“Why, Glenn? We are better inside.”
“No, we are better off here.” Glenn
looked to his partner and co-driver at times when needed. “You don’t know of
the hotel. It’s not what you know of it.”
“Glenn, I know nothing of it except
that the place was a place of cure for the criminals to get medical
assistance.” Randy uttered back. “Whatever, it’s better than us standing here?
Why are we not in?”
“Do tell me then. Have you been there?”
Randy asked.
Glenn was to speak when a city cab
pulled up. Two passengers stepped out and paid the driver who sped off. The
passengers were a couple of Asian descent.
“Is this the Hotel California? I
got a reservation here. Oh, I am too early.” The clock read as 2327hrs.
The man asked. “Like in the song.
Do you know the song?”

The Asian man was dressed like the
tourist in the colored shirt and dark pants with the camera slung around his
neck. He had on the bag slung across the left shoulder. The lady was in a dark
knee length coat over the pant suit. She held a duffle bag over her left
shoulder. They were both holding the umbrella and wearing leather gloves.
Glenn nodded. The couple went past
and knocked on the doorway.
“I will not expect tourist to come
here. Are they lost?” Randy asked. “Maybe we should redirect them.”
That was spoken for when the doors
opened.
Danny heard the knocks on the door.
He looked for the nurse but the latter was in the elevator with the door closing.
He looked towards Simon and nodded.
“Get the door. And shut the music.
I hate it.”
