Chapter Twelve

I hadn’t gotten the key to the demon host’s room, and I hadn’t seen him come back to the hotel. I half-wondered if he might not, knowing I was working here. Then I remembered his type and knew he’d be back.

I’d get another chance to swipe the key. Maybe I could trick one of the night staff into giving me it if I told them I left my key in my room. Then I probably wouldn’t be able to switch to the night shift without tipping someone off that I was up to something odd. Damn it. I needed to work on my plan.

Mason had shown me where the keys were. He’d explained that the cleaning staff had keys that were kept in the safe in the back office. It was weird how much information he gave me that seemed relevant to getting into the Wrath’s host’s room. Almost as if he was trying to help me.

That couldn’t be it. If something sounded too good to be true it’s usually because it is.

It’s not as if he gave me the key, and I didn’t get a proper opportunity to nab it when his back was turned either. Missed my chance. I supposed I could hang out in the back stairwell on the third floor, waiting for the creep to get back to his room, but there was every chance I’d miss him. The front door was open 24-7 so there’s no curfew he had to get back for. Not that killers really care about breaking rules, but I couldn’t assume he’d be back anytime soon and while he didn’t seem to need sleep to function, I kind of did.

So, I headed up to my room after my shift, after Mason reminded me he’d see me tomorrow. His serious stare was unnerving. I wondered what the hell he wanted to talk about so badly. It was clearly frustrating him that it was going to have to wait. I started to wonder why he had to get home so badly, and stopped myself right there. I didn’t know what his life looked like now, and I shouldn’t want to know.

I pushed him from my thoughts. I needed to get my head screwed on straight. First things first, I checked my phone. Lucy had replied to say she’d sort my shift change out next week when the new rotas were done. I could handle a few days with him, right? Clearly, she didn’t get it. Maybe she never realised how much we’d grown apart over that summer. It was a long time ago.

I had a message from Jimmy too, but I kind of didn’t want to read it. That regret was starting to kick in. I knew it would sometime. Every impulsive reaction brings along some regret with it. Luckily, I hadn’t actually met him and done the thing that would really pile on the remorse. Yet.

It would probably depend how well this dream stalking went, whether or not I ended up meeting Jimmy.
