Catherine ran through the lab and out to the parking lot with tears streaming down her face.
She walked to her Tahoe and got in. Putting the key into the ignition she put her hands over her face and stepped out of the vehicle unable to control the tears. Not feeling like she wanted to go home to an empty house and have Chris show up yet again for another verbal attack she began to walk out of the parking lot and down the street. Catherine walked for what seemed like hours when she came to a familiar casino and walked inside.
As she walked through the casino she spotted an older man and sat down at the table with him.
"Catherine?"
"Sam" she said with no sign of affection
"I need a favour" she sighed
Sam saw the tears in her eyes and nodded with concern
"Are you okay is it Lindsey?"
"No. Lindsey is away for the weekend. Listen I am not here for any type of father daughter reunion, I just… I know that you run a very popular hotel and casino and I know you are always overbooked but I really need a place to just hide out for the next couple days. Do you think you could get me a room? I have money so that is not a factor I just really need to get away from it all, somewhere I can think without he phone or the doorbell ringing off the wall."
Sam did not think twice
"You know that's not a problem, you can have suite 4 it's very private I usually keep it for the most important business people I deal with but you're my kid so come with me I'll get you the key and take you up and Cath, don't worry about the money, it's covered"
"Catherine smiled " Thank you" She said as tears came back to her yet again
As he lead her into her suite he turned before leaving
"Muggs, if it's a guy, then he is stupid, he must not know how lucky he is to have you"
With that Sam Braun walked down the hall and out of sight
