[Alexander's intent here is to check the room for bugs/listening devices/cameras (police skills I guess). He would also like to see if there are any peepholes going somewhere into the room or bathroom, having watched Hitchcock's Psycho a few too many times to not be paranoid in a rundown American motel.]"Erm...it's Erica and that's fine. I don't have a problem talking about it. I don't think i'll be very useful though. Like I said, i'm just there for the fun."
The room is pretty small. It has two small single beds, a dresser, and a small bathroom in the back. It almost reminds you of your rooms back at HQ, but this is way less maintained. The floor looks like it hasn't been swept for awhile and the sheets have mystery stains on them.
Alexander looked around the room and was appalled, he'd have to talk to the young girl about the state of this place. He put down his pack next to the bed nearest to the door.
'Scheiße, what a dumb!' he called to Sarah. He sighed. Sarah just shrugged and plobbed down on the bed furthest from the door. 'If you don't mind, I'll have a quick nap, Alexander. You have that shower you wanted.' She quickly got comfortable and drifted off.
Being as quiet as he could, Alexander had a look in the bath [presumably totally filthy] and then searched the room and bathroom for listening devices, cameras and peep holes. Whether his search was successful or not, he went back out again but left the lights in the main room and in the bathroom on.
Returning to Erica, he gave her a wave and leaned on the counter again, 'I'm really sorry for bothering you again, Erica, but: are you aware about the state of room № 1? It's positively filthy.' he held his hand up before she could say anything, 'Now before you start, I'm not saying that is your fault: you're only here on weekends and the desk clerk. It's really your cleaning personnel that's taking your father for a ride if they get any money at all for their work.'
He suggested, 'Maybe I could have a look at room № 2? If were are the only customers it shouldn't make a difference which one we stay in.' He pulled out fifty US dollars, 'I'll even give you the price for the night as collateral for the second key.'
[Have fun working through this one
