"JESUS" Rafe mutters it as soon as they almost reach the hotel according to the address she got. It looks almost abandoned and well-creepy. Especially after what happened last night with the hurricane

Hope swallowing hard at the scenery in front of her, maybe she made the right decision to accept Rafe's offer to drive her here instead of going with Sarah. As much as she hates to agree with Rafe, this place looks like it got murdered all over it

Rafe drives the boat further into the shore, they kinda need to change from a car to a boat since the hotel is placed in the middle of nowhere through the marsh and it requires for them to take a boat.

"You sure you want to get in there?" Rafe suddenly asks, averting his gaze from the horrid scenery in front of him to Hope that still froze on her position

"Well, they did have my parcels" she shrugged, masking her worried with a smile and it looks strained. Rafe can see it but he refused to make any comment. He continues to drive the boat until it reaches the shore and kills the engine

Hope eyes once again scanning the building, it looks eerie and scary. She's swallowing once again, debating her decision if she really wants to get in there.

There are multiple beds displayed at the lawn and the balcony. She doesn't know what's the use behind it. Probably because of the water that getting in during the hurricane hit

She gets up from her seat and gripping on her bag strap, ready to hop out from the boat but then she stops, glancing at Rafe

"Rafe---" she calls his name, wanting to invite him to go with her because she does feel terrified but then she quickly changes her mind "never mind" she said, looking away from him

Rafe could almost read it from her, especially when she gave the look, it wasn't hard to read the girl. Plus, he kind of finds it cute that Hope wanting him to go with her and shy about it

"You want me to go with you?" Rafe asked, though he wants to tease the girl for it. But she looks terrified, it's written all over her face

Hope looks back at him and her face brightened immediately, glad that he's asking it instead of her doing it "Will you?" she asked, a jolt of excitement filling her words

"If you want to" Rafe shrugged

"Please? You kinda right, this place looks like someone could get killed here" she states and whispers it a little, like she doesn't want anyone to hear about it

Rafe smiles at the sweet behaviour from Hope "Yeah, sure. Come on" he agreed and moved away from behind the wheel, pulling out the keys and shove it into his pocket. Can't believe anyone here not stealing his boat

Both of them jump out from the boat at the same time and Rafe grimace at the dirt that sticking on his shoes. He feels disgust, he totally going to throw this pair away and get a new one. Ain't no way he's wearing something with Pogues dirty land on it

"Why do you think they discarded all the beds?" Hope asked the boy while curiously eyeing all the materials "The fuck should I know? Do I look like I'm working here?"

Hope frowns a little "Yeah, no need to be a jerk about it" she states and continues her walk. He doesn't need to be rude about it but then, it's just how Rafe talking

When they reached the front door, it got pulled open from behind before Hope can reach the handle. They stop walking and a middle aged man show up, he looks surprised at the sudden appearances from them but then a smile formed on his lips

"Hey there. Im sorry, but the hotel closed for now, we don't accept anyone because the hurricane kinda did some damage" he politely said, smiling while glancing in between them
