Johnathan didn't have to go far before he arrived at a open corner store. Going up to the service desk, he tried talking to the guy there, only to spend 10 minutes trying to understand him while trying to get him to understand he couldn't speak his language. It wasn't until a teenage girl came from a room on the other side of the desk that they finally managed to get somewhere.
"Hello, can I help you?
"Thank god, English. Yeah, I'm looking for somewhere not too expensive to stay around here. You know anything nearby?
"Yeah, I know a place. Just go out, turn right & walk to the next driveway. There's a motel there, & I can promise you there'll be someone there who'll can speak English well enough to help you.
"Thankyou very much. See you later."
"Later..."
Noticing something in her smile, he turned & left as the girl started talking to her father, Johnathan recognizing the word Papa. Following the girls directions, he found the motel & walked over to the office. There were a few cars already parked in front of several rooms, as well a several large dumpsters located around the place. With a bell chiming as he entered the office, he was greeted by a woman who didn't seem to speak English either. Before he started getting worried he'd never get any help, the teenage girl showed up again, puffing at bit. The woman turned to the girl & said something, the girl replying & adding Mamma at the end.
"Fancy meeting you here..."
"Hey, I said there'd be someone who speaks English here. Didn't say if it would be me or not."
"Fair enough. Mind if I book a room for a couple of days? I need to sort some stuff out, but I'm stuck here for a while first. I'm not sure how long I'll be staying, does that matter?"
"Sure. We do have a special going where you pay up front & save a few bucks, or you can pay by the night."
"I'll pay for 3 nights up front. That should be long enough to start with. so how much will that be?"
"225 Real please. Thankyou very much, enjoy your stay. Here's your key, there's a pool around the back, your rooms on the second floor in the middle area."
"Thanks, bye the way, you remind me of my sister when she was your age. What's your name?"
"Rachael. My parents wanted a American sounding name, to help me go places. Fat load of good it's done me so far, without me they'd never get any foreign customers. I speak 4 languages you know."
"Really? Well, No offense, but I've gotta take care of some stuff right now. I'll talk to you later Alright?"
Waving as he left for his room, he frowned a bit as he thought of his sister. Finding his room, he locked the door & started looking for cameras or any other bugging devices.
