Chapter 10

Time flew by as he found himself caught up in his memories and grief. Before long he saw himself passing into the small town he had found on the map. The small sign on the highway was cheery and inviting. It was a plain brown sign with blue letters that read; “Welcome to Mendocino.” Shaking his head on a deep sigh, he moved on to find somewhere to lay his head for that night.

The hotel stood high into the air, and he instantly felt the dampness from the rain sink into his bones. Checking in he looked around at his surroundings. There was one large desk that traveled down the whole side of the room. The top was made of brown and gold colored marbled and the bottom was a dark cherry wood.

In days before he would have commented on how lovely it was as he ran his hand across the top. Today, however, he didn’t say a word as he silently passed his license and credit card to the girl on the other side of the desk. She was in her twenties and smiled at him as she took the cards. The hotel didn’t have too much furniture in it. There was a pleasant looking fireplace with two armchairs in the middle of the room and what looked to be a restaurant through two double doors to the right. That was all there was to the lobby. The girl quickly gave him his cards back and smiled.

“Will this be for just you?”

“Yes. Just me.”

“How long will you be needing the room for sir?”

“Right now, let’s just say a couple weeks and then I’ll go from there.”

“Oh? Are you relocating here?”

“Don’t know.” His tone was flat and cold, and he almost felt bad for the way he spoke to the woman. It wasn’t her fault for the way his life had turned out.

“OK. Well, let us know if you need help to relocate your belongings from your place of residence. We would be happy to help.” The woman then proceeded to list all the standard amenities that came with the room including a large screen television and fridge. “Our restaurant on site offers room service from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., and there is also a breakfast bar or sit down menus for lunch and dinner. We hope you enjoy your stay with us. Please let me know if you need anything else, OK? Your room number is 501. If you go up the elevator to the fifth floor and hang a left, it’s the third door on the right.”

Kevin thanked the woman and stuffed the keycard into his wallet.

“Have a good evening, Mr. Pierce.”

“You too.”

He nodded in her direction as he rolled his suitcase into the elevator and started the slow trek up to his floor. When he stood in front of room 501, he slid the card in the slot, and a beep greeted his arrival. There was a large television hanging from the wall across from a two cushion couch.
