Chapter 17

• *Lucia*
• The ride to the Hotel the driver mentioned was not as bumpy as I expected. I couldn't stop glancing back to see if we were being followed. The driver gave me weird looks from the rear mirror. I took a deep breath after a while and relaxed. The ride to the King Hotel was over three hours from the mall. I felt sleepy but had to keep my eyes wide open. The last thing I wanted was to be taken somewhere other than the hotel.
• The car came to a stop at the entrance of the hotel. I paid the man and hopped out of the car. I have never been to a hotel before. This was my first time, and to think that I had started with a hotel this big? I touched my pocket. I had to make sure that my money was in there. Feeling it there, I walked in.
