Chapter 3: The Talk

That night I walked from the Cocoba Hotel to Miguel's house. It was a nice workout but took quite a while since I'm new here. Once I go to the top of the hill I saw Miguel standing out of the front of the door, as if he was just getting home. "Just getting home?" I yelled, "Yup" he yelled back. We both walked in and I saw a queen sized bed on the right and a TV on the other side. There was another room behind the TV which I figured was a bathroom. "Where's the kitchen?" I asked "Don't need one" Miguel replied, "Its just a five minute walk to the grocery store and the restaurant so I don't really need to cook anything for myself." "Cool, cool." I said awkwardly, "Anyway, we came here to talk about the Broken Clock Tower right?" "Yes, it is a very important part of my life since I work for the Wuhu Island experience." Said Miguel. "Yeah, so do you-" I was interrupted by a loud Mario death sound effect that was right next door. "Sorry about that," said Miguel, "that's Luca, he sits in there all the time just playing the same game over and over again even though he sucks at it." "Jeez, my hotel neighbor is always challenging me to play table tennis on the pool patio. Only this girl is much better at table tennis than I am." I said, trying to relate. "Anyway," said Miguel, "The town committee has the fingerprint samples of the clock fanatic, and only Wuhu Island workers have access to it." I didn't know what to say, I was obviously not a Wuhu Island worker, so I asked, "Can you bring guests, I mean you are a tour guide, right?" Miguel acknowledged it for a moment, but then replied, "Well, I could show you the office, but the fingerprints are top secret." I frowned, but I realized something, "If you have the fingerprints then why don't you just scan the fingerprints of everyone on the island?" "Because everyone thinks its fake and if we scan fingerprints on the people then tourists will be way to scared to come back." Miguel answered. Since we had no other options, I suggested, "Well, I guess I have to get a job then"
