"God, what time is it?", Paloma asked. "I fell like I'm going to die if we don't get some sleep soon."

"I know what you mean.", Fox replied.

"Ok, so why don't we rent a room and we'll hunt for Resa tomorrow.", Paloma replied.

"Ok, but, I'm going to get a room as close as I can get to hers and Ethan's.", Fox replied. "I'm not, going to let Theresa be prone to all these sexual predators."

"Ok.", Paloma replied. "fine by me, as long as I get a bed."

"May I help you?", the short red headed woman asked.

"Can we get the room closest to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald?", Fox asked.

"Just a second.", the woman replied pressing a few keys on the keyboard. "I'm sorry, we have no Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald booked."

"What about Ethan Crane or Ethan Lopez-Fitzgerald?", Fox asked.

"Hold on.", the woman replied, pressing a few keys. "There's a Theresa Crane booked."

"Theresa.", Paloma replied. "What rooms that 2-25 and 2-26, jointing rooms."

"Thank you.", Paloma replied. "We'll take a room close to those."

"2-29?', the woman asked.

"That's ok, with me.", Paloma replied.

"Hold on is 2-27, booked?", Fox asked.

"It's reserved.", the woman replied.

"Well, I'm willing to pay triple what was paid.", Fox replied.

"No, sir, we can't do that.", the woman argued.

"Do, you know he is?", Paloma asked. "Nicholas Foxworth Crane, heir to the Crane fortune."

"Yes, sir, you can have the room, no problem, anything for you, Mr. Crane.", the woman replied.

"Here's your keys, enjoy your stay.", the woman replied handing Fox the key.

"Thank you.", Paloma replied. "Whatchu' name, I'll make sure Fox gets you a raise for being so helpful."

"Angie.", the woman replied.

"Ok.", Paloma replied.

"Nicholas, I know you didn't.", Paloma replied.

"What?", Fox asked.

"Calling me ugly.", Paloma replied.

"Actually, now that you mention it…", Fox began.

Paloma picked up a pillow and slug it at him.

"I was going to say now that you mentioned it, you're to beautiful for me.", Fox replied.

"Aw.", Paloma exclaimed. "Bull, you're just scared I'll whoop your cute behind."

"Yeah.", Fox replied. "I'm so scared of a hochie like you."

"Now, because of that comment you sleep on the nice cold-hard floor, without a pillow.", Paloma smirked.

"Hey, you can't be serious?", Fox asked.

"Yeah, now get your booty off my bed.", Paloma replied shoving him playfully.

"Paloma?", Fox question. "Come on."

"Uh-mmmmmm-nope.", Paloma replied

"All I'm ask of you is a blanket and a pillow.", Fox replied.

"What, do I look like a store to you?", Paloma asked.

"Be up all night tossing and a turning as, where I'll be asleep in this nice comfy bed.", Paloma replied. "Night Nicky, hope you sleep well."

"Oh, My God, I can't believe you.", Paloma exclaimed. "You Perv.", she replied kicking at him.

"Kinky are we?", Fox asked.

"Ok, God, here's a pillow and a blanket.", Paloma replied. "On one condition though?", Paloma started. "never do anything like that again."

"Deal.", Fox replied. "but, at least I got my way?"

Paloma rolled her eyes at him. "Only because I'm tired and don't want to put up with your stupid ass."

"Ok, how's that?", the man asked.

"Well, I'm kind of looking for someone.", Theresa replied.

"Who?", the man asked. "Did, Sandra put you up to this?"

"Ok, sir, thanks for your time, bye.", Theresa replied shaking her head in discus. 'That man was totally, psycho, and he was perverted, he didn't even know me, he's bad, what if I contact someone even worse, someone like Julian.'

"Julian, get off…", Theresa exclaimed with a sort of slurred tone.

"Come on love.", Julian replied.

"Father, who's this beautiful woman?", Fox asked, smirking at her.

"I'm not with him.", Theresa replied, batting her eyes as she talk.

"Never mind her, she's just playing hard to get.", Julian argued.

Fox looked at her admiring her, she was by far the most beautiful woman he'd lay eyes on.

"Foxworh, can I see you outside, a minute?", Julian demanded.

"Sure, I'll be seeing you…", Fox began. "Theresa.", he added smiling at her.

"Well, I want her and with a little help with my best friends brandy and vodka , I'll have her.", Julian replied.

"No, you won't.", Fox replied.

"We're married.", Julian replied.

"I don't care.", Fox replied. "She's not going to be your next prey."

"Theresa?", Fox asked.
