Murders at the Holiday Inn

OMG! I am sorry that it has taken me forever to update! Yeah my French sucks. Its Pas Mal not Pal Mal so I was wrong yet again LOL! Well it seems that Mort is on the move! Oh boy! Well here's my new chapter!!!

Caroline woke up early the next morning feeling tired, and sick beyond belief. Katie bounced into the kitchen smiling. "Hello sleepyhead! How's the new mommy feeling?", making herself a cappuccino. Caroline only growled.

"Well that's something we definitely know! You are not in a good mood today!", adding whip cream on top of her drink. "Wow........know wonder they say you're a genius", Caroline answered back sarcastically as she took the bacon off of the stove. Putting it on a plate and taking her orange juice she walked over to the living room turning on the news.

"And this is channel 6 action news here at a Holiday Inn on Route 6 (I made up wutever). We are live at the uncovering of two bodies that were found early this morning. Officials are unsure as to the cause of how it happened. But what they do believe that it was a murder. Police are looking into it right now", the young reporter said into his microphone as he and the camera crew tried to get a glimpse of the room where the bodies and thousands of the police were.

The reporter stopped one of the police men, "Excuse me officer? Could you tell us what has happened?" The police officer looked unsure for a minute but continued. "Two males, probably in their early 20's were found early this morning by the house keeper. One was found in the bathtub, while the other was found on his bed".

"How were they murdered officer?!?", the young reporter looked on excited. The officer sighed and rubbed the gap between his eyes, "Both of them had their heads snapped to the side", as he walked away quickly leaving the reporter standing there.

He looked back into the camera, "And this is Daniel Harris reporting from the Holiday Inn. Stay tuned for more information", as Caroline stared at the screen feeling at the pit of her stomach a sort of dread.

"Creepy....huh Caroline?", as Caroline jumped up scared for a minute seeing her cousin standing there with her cappuccino in hand drinking it softly shaking her head. "What? Oh yeah creepy.........."

"Well whoever did that was probably some weird little man out on a killing spree......they always go after the virgins", walking away talking to herself. Caroline sighed and changed the channel. "Nope it couldn't have been Mort......I mean Mort's in Tashmore Lake. He's not driving around looking for me nope! But the more she questioned herself the more she doubted her own thoughts.

"God!!", standing up quickly walking over to the kitchen bumping into Orlando. "Whoa...are you alright pet? You look like death itself is after you", as she just shrugged past him walking through the glass doors outside near the pool.

Pulling out her cigarettes about to light one she stopped just as the cigarette almost touched her lips. "Can I really have a baby? I mean common me? Mort's baby...........", sighing as she put her cigarettes away. Nine months without any cigarettes or alcohol was going to kill her but for the sake of her baby she would get through it.

She walked over to the wooden bench and sat down to think. She sat there quietly meditating to herself calming herself. She was broken out of her serene when Orlando decided to grace her presence. "I heard about ....the you know what.......", trying to act calm and cool and not look embarrassed. "Oh I was expecting you to know. Knowing my cousin she's gonna call my mom any second and tell her I'm pregnant".

Glaring ahead looking out over the pool and enjoying the warmth of the morning. "Are you angry that your having a childe?", he asked concerned. "Do you regret it?"

"Never........", shaking her head. "I love Mort so much and I'm going to go back to him and tell him that and tell him that's he's going to be a father. What he gave me is the greatest present any one could ever ask for especially me. I love him very much......", rubbing her flat stomach which would soon grow.

"He's everything I ever needed............

Well that's the next chapter! Hmmm....did mort do it? We'll find out in the next chapter! READ AND REVIEW! REALLY SHORT CHAPTER ! SORRY!
