"A room, aye?" She asked and placed a cigarette in her mouth.
Roy nodded his head.
She then pulled out a rather large book from a drawer under the desk and started flipping through the pages.
She ran her finger down the lines of names and when she reached a blank spot she tapped it.
"Room 75." She stated and pulled out a lighter.
After she took a puff, she pulled a key out from between her breasts.
Roy blushed.
Hughes had long since decided to be interested with the wood the place was made out of.
The woman carelessly tapped the ashes off the smoking stick onto the floor and unlocked another drawer beneath the desk.
It was a drawer full of little boxes.
She pulled out the one marked "75" and strolled over to the other side of the desk.
After she took one last puff of her cigarette, she flicked it into a bucket near the door she came from.
She then made her way to the stairs and skillfully felt underneath the wooden steps.
Roy raised an eyebrow. What was this woman doing?
She suddenly pulled off a piece of tape and a key fell to the ground.
She placed the key into the keyhole on the box and after she opened it, placed it back underneath the stairs.
"Okay." She said and handed the key to Roy.
"What name should I book this room under?" She asked with a slight hint of annoyance in her voice.
"The Connors" Roy said skillfully and grabbed for Edward's hand.
The woman rolled her eyes when she noticed the matching rings.
"Married?" She asked dryly, barely looking up from her book.
Roy nodded his head and the woman pulled out another cigarette.
"You don't want this room then." She stated and walked over to the windows.
She drew the curtains shut then disappeared back behind the desk.
She nearly fell over as she attempted to pull out a rather large box.
"Come over here." She said and pointed underneath.
Roy was in shock. There were stairs leading down beneath the hotel. Hughes' silently clapped at the cunning.
"It's secure. This will cost about 200."
Roy nodded his head, gave her the other key then pulled out a civilian credit.
The woman looked up and blinked.
She then pointed at the card and said, "Do you see a processor anywhere around here?"
Roy looked around and to his dismay, found nothing.
He sighed angrily and reached deep into his pocket.
He pulled out his brown leather wallet and placed a couple hundreds on the desk.
She greedily picked the money up and carefully examined them under the light from her ceiling lamp.
"Kay." She said and stood out of their way.
Before Roy allowed her to put the box back on the opening he asked, "What do we do if we want to get out?"
She knelt down and pointed to a button on the underside of the box.
Roy raised an eyebrow.
She then pointed to a wire going from the box into the desk.
She sighed and said, "It will make the phone ring."
She noticed the unimpressed look on the man's face and said, "There's a second phone in the other room."
Roy nodded his head.
She then pointed into the dark tunnel and said, "There's a light in the ceiling down there. It will go off when the light up here does."
She paused.
"The walls aren't soundproof so if this is your honeymoon, you're out of luck. This isn't a nice town as you have seen. But, this is one of the safest places to be."
She pulled out a third cigarette and placed it in her mouth.
She then said, "There's a wine cellar down there as well. You drink it, you buy it. I know what's supposed to be there, so don't even try."
Roy nodded his head and smiled.
"Thank you."
She nodded her head and said, "Don't forget bout stayin quiet." She warned.
"You wont be the only in trouble."
And with that, the box was back in its place and Roy was left in the dark.
The woman then sat down in a chair behind the desk and yawned.
"What strange foreigners."

Edward was surprised to find two clean beds and a pantry of water and a little food.
Roy raised an eyebrow as he looked around.
It was dark and small. The single light on the ceiling was nothing to brag about. It gave about as much light as a candle.
The walls were covered in old black and white photographs of lakes and mountains. Roy slightly smiled at the sight.
"Must be hers." He thought. He was surprised. They were actually pretty good.
"She must have been a traveler once. "
He then continued to look around and spotted a dark wooden door next to the pantry.
He pressed his ear against the wood and said, "Must be that wine cellar she was talking about."
Hughes nodded his head and yawned.
He then plopped himself down onto the bed closest to the pantry.
Ed rolled his eyes and sighed. Same old Hughes.
He then sat down on the other bed and yawned as well. It was contagious.
Why was he so tired again?
Roy then sat down next to the boy and stretched his arms above his head.
Ed glared then turned his head to look at the bed again.
It was a single. On it was a small peach blanket which seemed to be pretty thin and above that an under stuffed pillow.
Ed growled. There was no way in hell he was sharing a bed with the Colonel again.
Roy sighed sadly, already knowing what the boy was about to say.
He got up and knelt down to look under the bed for some kind of blanket or pillow for himself.
Nothing.
He sighed and looked over at Hughes who was already fast asleep.
"Oh well." He said and curled into ball on the cold stone floor.
"Wouldn't be the first time."
