“Did this young lady happen to stay here last night?”
The receptionist examined the photo, then nodded affirmatively.

“Well…”
Cornelius pulled out 50@ dollars in cash and slid it across the counter.
“We don’t need the key, just the room number. Make an exception for us.”
The receptionist hesitated but eventually pocketed the money, stating, “As per hotel rules, we can’t disclose guest information.”

“You…”
Before he could complete his sentence, Hannah shoved him aside and burst into the room.
A shrill scream erupted from within. A woman huddled on the bed was frantically clutching the quilt around her.
