When Cyra got off the bus, Mary went with her. They walked with the others past Illusions's thundering waterfalls and interconnecting lagoons, and the older woman obediently checked herself and her niece, Henrietta, into their rooms—there must have been a mistake in the booking. It was Henrietta, not Henry. Of course they needed two rooms! Wasn't there anything available? A suite—certainly that was fine.
Cyra waited patiently at Mary's side while the paperwork was seen to, practicing her newly learned art of being inconspicuous, and then she and Mary walked over to the concierge's desk and arranged for transportation. Cyra Delphin couldn't have afforded anything like the car Mary wanted, but then Cyra wasn't paying for it.
As Mary dithered over her selection, Cyra caught sight of a brochure on the desk. She felt a small trill of nerves and directed Mary to change her demand.
The older goblin behind the desk never blinked at Mary's sudden request for a Harley-Davidson Screamin' Eagle Road King—with a full face shield helmet. Most people came to Sin City because they wanted to play with dangerous things. There were plenty of bikers who wanted to ride the kind of hogs that didn't worry about conforming to EPA standards. As far as the goblin was concerned, Mary was just one more human with a taste for a possibly perilous kink, and he was only too happy to offer her any form of creative—and expensive—fulfillment.
Once the transaction was complete, Cyra and Mary went into the ladies' room and, in a corner not covered by the security cameras, Mary handed over the key to the suite and the paperwork for the motorcycle. She then went into one of the stalls and promptly forgot that she had acquired either a niece or a motorcycle.
Feeling dizzy and dangerously exhausted, Cyra stepped out into the breathless night and surrendered her paperwork to one of the goblins on duty. She breathed shallowly of the hot, dark air while she waited for the valets to bring her bike around. Behind her, she could hear the explosion of the volcano, which erupted like clockwork every half hour.
She didn't feel like going anywhere that night, except to bed, but she needed to start searching for Thomas. She also wanted the motorcycle moved somewhere safe and well away from Illusions, where someone might recall that silver-haired Mary Silverman had actually rented it. Another hotel parking lot would do fine. They all had excellent security.
Cyra needed a toothbrush too, because she'd forgotten hers. And clothes— Damn it! It all meant more delay before she could begin her hunt for Thomas.
A light mist began falling as the beautiful black and gold monster rumbled onto the pavement under the porte cochere. Cyra didn't care for the manufactured precipitation, but it made sense that the building would be outfitted with misters. Goblins hated dry air and began to desiccate when they were too long away from water. It was an odd weakness, considering they were not bothered by things like toxic
