Lilly managed to talk her way into a suite on the twenty-third floor of a hotel downtown, about fifty miles from Sean.  It was a perfect place for her because someone disappearing from a larger city was a common occurrence.  No one would even know she was hunting or who she hunted.

The suite, she figured, was a great permanent home for her and was quite large.  It had a single master bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and its own living room.  The master bedroom consisted of one large circular bed in the center, multiple fancy wooden bed stands on either side of the bed and a large golden chandelier with eight pronged bulbs that hovered over the center of the bedroom.  The deep red covers filled the room with soft, relaxing mood and flowed well with the creamy brown carpet.

 Connected to the bedroom was a large bathroom, everything in it sparkled like new.  The bathroom shined with fresh marble counters and two golden sinks side-to-side.  A large mirror engulfed the wall above the sink and opposite the mirror was a massive bathtub adjacent to a glass shower.  The shower’s granite tiles matched with the rest of the bathroom.  The bathtub was its own mini Jacuzzi, it had hundreds of jets that could massage whomever was in the tub.  The tub’s solid white color stuck out in the otherwise granite bathroom.

To the left of the bedroom if someone was entering the room was a connected living room through a double door entrance.  The living room had a single large window overlooking the city on one side and the door to the hotel on the other.  The room held a dark brown hardwood table with four chairs around it sitting on the same kind of carpet from the bedroom next to the window.  Closer to the hotel door was granite tile that cascaded into the full kitchen.

The kitchen was directly across from the double door to the bedroom, on the other side of the living room.  Inside the kitchen Was first a granite sink with a long silver faucet on the far left wall, , then a large fridge and freezer next to the sink full of snacks, drinks and even pre-cooked meals. Continuing  to the right and into the corner that would be adjacent to the hotel hallway were several large wooden cabinets, each cabinet filled with even more food, some canned food, chips, candy, and anything else that didn’t need refrigeration.  On the counter below the cabinets were a toaster and microwave, ready to be used.

Of course all the food and the room were free for her.  She worked out a very decent deal with the manager.  Lilly absorbed her new accommodations and spread herself out along the couch slightly behind the table and along the wall to the bedroom.  Above her head was the hotel door and bedroom door, to the left and in the corner the kitchen, and directly across from the couch was a large off flat screen TV high enough on the wall to not be obstructed by the table.  She stared over her feet at into the slightly darkening sky and at multiple other distant skyscrapers, enjoying the view.  It wasn’t really a surprise to her when her silent homecoming was ruined by a familiar voice from the bedroom, “You being bossy again?”  it drifted out of the room, along with light footsteps that trailed into the living room.

“I thought I told you to leave me alone,” Lilly threatened the voice without making any effort to move off the couch.

 She heard shuffling on carpet and glanced up to see Pop pull one of the chairs out from under the table and sit down in it, “You know I won’t do that.”

“Go away!” she didn’t want anything to do with him, especially after he blew her off and left her with a body earlier that day, literally.

“What happened to the body?  I went back to retrieve it and it was g-.”
