The whole car ride was silent except for the quiet hum of the car. CW tried to make some conversation but the conversation would end after a couple sentences from either Bonnie or Clyde. Finally Bonnie sat forward in her seat and leaned over a bit, "I'm sorry. Its just well you know when I get nervous I just talk."
Clyde looked out the window but said nothing. Bonnie sat back, "Fine don't talk."
They pulled up to the small hotel, and got out. Clyde walked into the office and smiled, "Do you have any rooms available?"
The manager looked at him and said what sounded like a bored voice, "Yes sir we do. How many rooms would you like?"
"Three."
Bonnie glared at him, "Three?"
Clyde nodded, "Three. One for you, one for me, and one for CW."
"We always share one."
"I thought you hated me."
"I don't. I was just scared at the time and I talk when I'm scared. I hate being chased by the…" she stopped when she realized they were still in front of the manager.
Clyde smiled over at the manager and thought up a quick lie, "Just married…. her parents are so happy with us."
Bonnie nodded and CW just stood there. What was he going to say? He was just the getaway driver. The manger motioned to CW, "Then who's he?"
"He's um…. my cousin." Clyde said quickly.
The manager gave him a suspicious look. Clyde leaned on the counter, "We'll just have two rooms."
CW went outside to get their suitcases. Bonnie looked around, and decided to let Clyde do all the talking. Taking out his wallet, Clyde paid the manager and took the keys. When they got outside Bonnie laughed, "Just married?"
"What else was I supposed to say? 'Oh we were just chased by the cops for robbing a bank.'" He helped CW with the luggage and then looked around for their hotel room.
"Well you could have said something other than that." Bonnie said as she followed Clyde around.
"I'm sorry if I couldn't think of something else. Next time you think of a good lie."
