Chapter 6

Reginald looked up at the hotel before him. Ottowash Palace was one of the more popular hotels in the city. Many of the famous or important people who visited the city would stay there. The mayor had chosen the hotel for many of his important announcements and conventions over the past decade since it had been built. It towered forty stories high and at night it stood out brightly compared to the darkened office buildings surrounding it. The name of the hotel stretched out in flashing lights just above its main entrance. Reginald thought the place was far too flashy and gaudy to enjoy, but sometimes necessity made him visit.

He walked between a couple of groups as they entered the building. One of the doormen nodded politely as he passed. Reginald tapped his cap to return the favor. As he walked into the huge lobby he smiled and looked up. One of the few things he loved about the hotel was the huge painting of the night sky that adorned the top of the lobby. The large white crescent moon and the many little sparkling little bulbs that lit the room reminded him of the nights of his youth. 'I wish you could still see the stars like that,' he thought.

He felt himself bump into someone. "Oh, sorry," he said, nodding to a man wearing a suit. The man simply grunted and walked away.

Reginald took in the rest of the room. There was a fair-sized line at the check-in counter as there always was. He saw a couple get keys to their rooms as a bellboy began to drag their luggage towards the elevators. Several people were lounging around on the sofas that were neatly lined up in the lobby. A large group was standing around a television on the other end yelling about some play that had just happened in the local basketball game. Reginald smiled as he saw one of the hotel staff walking over to quiet them. He smelled food coming from a large pair of doors leading into the famous Palace Restaurant. Each time he visited, he did wish for a moment that he could still eat solid food.

Trying to ignore his growling stomach, he turned towards the back wall that was lined with eight elevators. Each elevator had a friendly greeter standing beside it, nodding and pressing the button as new people walked up. Luckily, there was few people waiting to get on the elevators, making Reginald slightly more comfortable about what he had to do. He stepped over to the last elevator that was marked with an 'authorized personnel' sign beside it.

"Can I help you sir?" the greeter asked, looking Reginald over politely.

"Umm, yes," Reginald muttered. "I need to go down, please." He reached into his wallet and showed the man his ID.

"That's not quite enough sir," the man said, looking at him closely. "You should know what else I need."

Reginald nodded and closely looked around. No one seemed to be watching them. "Alright," he said, and curled his lip up so that the man could see his teeth.
