Chapter 4

The call again !

The footsteps stopped infront of Austin room for total five minutes, As if the person wanted to hear what's going inside the room but Austin was sleeping and he didn't have any idea about it all.

If only Austin was awake , he could have seen the footsteps shadow from the door gap but pity he was sleeping deeply.

After few minutes, the person outside the door left from there and coincidentally, the 12th room door was slightly opened and it was immediately closed after few seconds .

The hallway was now silent and creepy.

It seems someone was living in the room no 12 and that person just watched everything happened now .

...

Some times later At the receptionist desk ,

Marcel was lying on the desk like usual and these time no was disturbed him for nearly half an hour until suddenly he heard a ringing sound from the phone .

Ring ! Ring !

After two rings , Marcel received the call and said in one breath like a typical robot in the movies would talk .

"Hello , Good evening sir! This is hotel Croves and who am I speaking to ?"

To his reply, there was a disturbance from the call and soon a anxious voice was heard from the other side.

"Help ! Please !! There is ....blood everywhere!!! ...I'm not joking"

Marcel grumbled and cut the call immediately , he didn't even bother to reply at all .

"Why do I have to deal with these s#it all time ?"

As he was grumbling he already leaned back and began to go to back to his sleep but not even few seconds passes , a call was once again heard .

Ring ! Ring ! Ring ! Ring !

Marcel was annoyed and he didn't receive the phone call , thinking it was again prank from someone . But the phone was repeatedly ringing and in these silent hallway, the sound was very loud which brought a headache to him.

Ring ! Ring-

Marcel angrily recived the call and yelled without even bothering for the other party to talk

"Little here mf ! Stop bothering me or else I will find you and beat the s#it out of your mind !!!! You hear me ?"

The other party was silent for moment before a deep cold voice was heard . When Marcel heard the voice he immediately wanted to smack himself .

That was his boss voice !

The owner of hotel Croves, Harry wills .

"I didn't knew you had these much courage in you , Marcel ! You truly opened my eyes today !"

Marcel face became pale , he immediately said in panic

"B-boss , I didn't knew that it was you ! I swear someone is .....doing a prank call and I... thought it was y-you !"

Harry cut him off coldly and said seriously

"Enough nonsense ! I heard that there is a dangerous criminal on the run so close the hotel at 12 Am exactly !"

Marcel was shocked and said

"What ? A criminal on the run?"

Harry voice was very deep

"Cut the crap ! Did you understand what I said ?"

Marcel immediately said in flattering tone

"Don't worry boss , I won't let anything bad happens to the hotel ! You can rest assured "

Harry voice was very deep

"Where is Charles ?"

Marcel said bitterly

"Boss , he went to him home ,he said there is a emergency and he will return back soon!"

The call was ended by Harry after giving some warning to Marcel to close the hotel at night.

He was a man of few words and he rarely comes to the hotel Even though he was very strict and cold , he was always called a generous man by everyone in this city . He donated most of his wealth to the charity and many free education center for poor students so he was pretty famous.

Now back to topic ,

Marcel scratched his head and decided to follow his boss orders and he can also get good sleep at that closed time . As he was thinking , a loud thunder sound was heard which nearly made him shudder from shock .

"Fk these thunder ...."

Ring ! Ring ! Ring !

Marcel was annoyed by the call and received it but he didn't talk or curse like before .

He didn't wanted another misunderstanding like previously happened.

But this time the call was from a tenant.

It was the blonde women !

Marcel calmly asked !

"What do you need madam ?"

The blonde women voice was low and her accent was light .

"Bring me the dinner directly to my room!"

Marcel immediately replied

"Right away ! Anything else mam?"

But the call was already ended !

'she won't die if she didn't say thank you or even a polite words !'

Marcel thought in speechless .

He scratched his belly and yelled the cook name !

"Gary ! Gary ! Gary ?"

But there was no response !

"Where have these fool gone to ?"

Marcel frowned in displeasure. This time he called Tim name once and ,

"I'm here boss !"

Behind him, Tim was standing with wide smile and he was standing very close to Marcel .

Another jumpscare !!!!

Marcel turned around in fright and yelled at Tim

"God ! Why are you standing so close to me ?"

To his question, Tim just scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

'When did this guy even appear behind me?'

Marcel really wanted to smash something on his head but he calmed down and said

"Go and bring the dinner to Room 9 , first floor !"

Tim nodded after a second and began to walk slowly .

Marcel lowered his head and as of he thought something, he yelled again .

"And find that b@stard Gary and tell him to meet me at the office !"

A weak voice was heard from the dark hallway .

"Yes boss !"

Marcel was irritated and he felt that today he must have woken from wrong side of the bed.

Ring ! Ring !

The phone began to ring again .

"Another tenant asking for breakfast I guess !"

Marcel took the call and this time the caller spoke first !

It was the same anxious voice !

"Help me !!!!!!! There is blood everywhere..."

Marcel face became red and his whole body was shaking from anger .

"God@mmit !"

He smashed the phone in anger !
