CHAPTER 9
The cab pulled in front of the hotel and the driver got out to retrieve her luggage. She thanked and paid him, picked her luggage up from the sidewalk, and walked through the doors of her home for the next.. "who knows," she thought.
She was so tired, all she wanted to do was get to her room, get a bath and some fresh clothes on, and get into bed.
"Hi Ms. Sidle, welcome to the Tiki Hotel. My name is Katie, and I'll be checking you in today." "Thanks, Katie. I'm glad to finally be here, I'm exhausted." "Not a problem. Since we're partnered with the Sea Shepherd, we have a rapid check in." Katie moved to the printer, grabbed a paper, and picked a key up off the wall behind it.
"Here you go, room 108." Katie handed Sara the key. "Just one last thing. I need a signature here," she pointed to a line on the receipt. "Thanks. You're all set." "Thanks Katie." "No problem. Just head up the stairs? uh, elevator and your room will be on the right."
If it wasn't for the other people in the elevator, Sara would've probably been lulled to sleep by the hum of the elevator. The "ding" nearly made her jump when she reached her floor.
Thankfully her room wasn't too far down the hall. She found it almost immediately, dropped her things inside the door and went to check out the bathroom.
