“I hope we don’t find anyone else period…” Jill added. It seemed that none of their encounters that evening had been good and she would just as rather avoid having contact with anyone else that night. They just needed to get back to the car and wait things out till morning. In daylight they would surely be able to make the long walk to the next sign of civilization to call for a tow truck. Speaking of which, Jill turned to take another look at the reception desk as Jack searched inside the closet. The phone! Why hadn’t they thought of that before…

Jill looked around the tiny space but didn’t find anything resembling a phone. “That’s odd…” she muttered to herself. What kind of hotel didn’t have a freaking phone?!? Turning back to Jack, her face lit up at the sight of the umbrella, “Yay! That’s the first bit of good news all evening!” she said happily. “Oh yeah…” she added, looking back down at her sock clad feet, “I should put those back on shouldn’t it…” Hoisting herself up on the reception desk, Jill slipped her boots off of her shoulder and untied the laces that had served as a carrying sling so she could put them back on her feet.
