Roadtrip

Mia’s POV
I was breathing heavily. This can’t be happening, not again. He saw me with Izzie and Jimmy... Oh my god Jimmy..... I was close to hyperventilating now “Mia! Sit up, you need to breath babe, come on” Izzie got a brown paper bag for me and let me breath in it. When I caught my breath I got up of the bed and started pacing the room.

“It’s happening again. He is here. It’s real Izzie. The note scared me because I knew he came to my house, but now I know he’s watching me again..... How can this be happening.... I thought I got rid of him when I moved to Huntington.... He is here, I know it.... “

I walked to the window and pulled the curtains aside slightly. I watched the street, there weren’t any cars parked outside besides ours, and there was no one walking there because it was 2 in the night on a weekday. I closed the curtain again and looked at Izzie.

“I will put you on a bus back home, first thing in the morning and I will drive far away from here. You need to get out of this situation, I can’t let you get hurt by him” Izzie looked at me stunned
“Okay, first thing, if you think I’m leaving you alone waiting for this lunatic to strike again, you are dead wrong. We are so much better with the two of us, so I won’t hear it”
I opened my mouth to protest but she held her hand up “Save it. No.” I let my shoulders drop.
“Second” Izzie started “We will move again. We will sleep for a few hours and then we will start moving again. Tim told us he always needed hands in his Reno branch, so we will get in the car and call him from there. I know he will give us the job, it won’t be a problem.”
Third, Reno is crowded, that lunatic won’t be able to follow us easy there and if he does, we will get rid of him in no time.”

She walked over to me, pulling me into a tight hug. I felt tears stream down my face. “What if he hurts you? What if he finds Jimmy and he hurts him?” I sobbed against Izzie’s shoulder.
“He won’t babe, how sick it might be, he is focused on you, he is stalking you, he won’t even think of Jimmy when he doesn’t see you with him anymore and Jimmy is safe. Safe, all up in Portland. And me... I kick ass, and I will kick his if I have to”

Izzie and I laid down on the bed, trying to get some rest before we would drive again. She moved close to my body and held me tight. It calmed me down to have her around, I was beginning to believe in her positivity. Maybe we could get rid of him....

Brian’s POV
It was a miracle, but at 8 in the morning all 5 of us stood ready in the lobby waiting for our new job for the day.
I just hoped this was better than the last one.
A guy in suit came walking towards us and stepped in front of each of us looking at us from top to bottom and then he lifted one eyebrow.
“You really thing, these guys will get this job done?” He yelled, looking over his shoulder to the guy behind the desk.
“They asked for a job, so that is the job, you just tell them what to do and if they did it good and right, they get the money, if you are not satisfied, they will get less money.. it depends on their work.” The receptionist from yesterday said.
“Fine, let’s go then.” He turned around and I looked at the other guys, I saw some frowns on their faces, but Jimmy just shrugged and walked after him.

We ended up on the first floor and he split us up in two teams.
Jimmy, Matt and I was Team 1, Zack and Johnny Team 2
What we were supposed to do we still didn’t know… until 2 girls with carts came walking towards us.
On the carts all different kind of cleaning supplies and I expected the worst.
“So, you are assigned to clean the hotel rooms. Team 1 will start here and if you are done with the room, you will move to the next. Same with Team 2, you will start on this side and move to the next. If there is a sign with ‘Do not disturb’ on the door, you skip over to the next one.”

“Ah fuck, really? Cleaning?” Zack murmured.
“Any questions?”
“Well, yeah.. I mean… what are we supposed to do? Just... I don’t know, doing the bed or changing the sheets or vacuum?” Matt asked with a frown, he seemed not so fond of this idea as well.
“Yes, everything, scrubbing the bathroom, cleaning the room completely, getting rid of the dust, changing the sheets, making the bed, vacuum… When you are done with the rooms you will call for me and I will inspect the rooms and after that we will decide about your payment. Now, start your job and we will see you in the evening.” With that the guy turned away and I sighed.

“Alright, can’t be so hard.. Let’s start and earn some money, the faster we are the sooner we are done.. but be careful and do your best so we get some good money.” Matt said grabbed the cart and moved to our first room.
We followed him and it wasn’t that bad… I wasn’t an expert in changing the sheets, more in getting them ruffled and dishevelled, but together with Jimmy we get rid of them and had the bed done in 10 minutes.
Matt walked out of the bathroom with a pair of gloves on and I had to stifle a laugh.
“Every women would be proud to have you as houseman, Matty.” I told him and chuckled.
“Ha ha, very funny. I can tell you the next bathroom is yours, ass!” Matt replied and got rid of the gloves.

“What’s up Jimmy? You are so quiet, that’s nothing like you…” He began to clear the table.
“Jimmy?” Matt asked when we didn’t get a reply.
“Hm.. oh nothing, just lost in thoughts..” Jimmy replied and threw everything in the trash.
“In thoughts about what?” Matt asked curious.
“You don’t wanna know…” Jimmy looked away and I shared a look with Matt.
“Mia?” Matt and I asked in unison.
“What? NO? Why.. why would I think about her?” Jimmy asked a little nervous.
“Because I saw you glancing on your phone and you are like this since we left San Francisco.” I replied and waited for his answer.
“Yeah, alright. I am thinking about her, is that a crime… we had fun… I like her.” Jimmy replied and set the magazines straight on the table while Matt and I stared at him.
“And?” Matt asked eyebrow lifted.
“And what?” Jimmy turned towards us crossing his arms on his chest.
“And what will you do about it?” Matt asked.
“I don’t know alright… Fuck… I like her.. I mean.. We don’t really know each other, I know, but I want to see her again, I don’t want to leave this a one night stand, is that so wrong? When I woke up at 4 this morning I got the best message from her... she told me she missed me and she needed my craziness and that she wanted to stay in touch, but I texted her back and now she is just quiet again. Nothing. And you know.. She doesn’t even want to answer the easiest questions I asked… nothing.. When I asked her something personal, she tried to distract me or just stayed quiet, why?” Jimmy was pissed and normally it took a lot to get Jimmy pissed.

“Damn Jimmy, you always have to get yourself in trouble, huh? What if for her this was only a one night stand, that’s why she doesn’t want to share more about herself… what if she doesn’t want to share more cause she knew she wouldn’t see you again… I mean.. Jimmy.. just forget about her.. She is just one girl, one of many on our way, right?” Matt told him and I saw Jimmy shoulder slump down and I wanted to comfort him but Matt was probably right, we wouldn’t see Mia and Izzie again…

“GUYS? GUYSSS FUCK, COME HERE.” Zack yelled and we walked out of our room and into the ones they were working on.
“Don’t tell me you are still in room one?” Johnny asked and looked at us.
“Well, we are nearly done there, why?” Matt asked.
“We are in room 3 now, and look at this. We need your fucking help!” Zack opened the door wider to let us walk in and holy hell… This-was-a-mess!
“Damn, Gates, this looks like one of your rooms… I think you know best how to clean it!” Zack laughed.
“What? No.. no fucking way.” I looked around and the bed was a mess..
On the floor next to the bed lay at least 2 condoms.. with.. a substance in it.
I shook my head.. damn.. !
On the nightstand more condom wrappers and lube, on the side of the bed some chains, I turned to Johnny.
“Well, have fun…” I was about to walk out, when I noticed somebody grabbing my shirt to pull me back.
“Shit, let’s help them… I mean.. we are faster together.”
“No.. no no no! NO!” I shook my head.
“Gates! Grab the wrappers and put them in the trash, go.. or you are doing the rest of the rooms on your own!” Matt yelled and I knew when he got that tone on me I had no other chance.
“Fine, but I am not touching anything near the bed.” I looked at the condoms and moved around them quickly.

8 hours later all the rooms were done and we were all slumped down in the last hotel room.
“We did it.”
“Yeah.” Jimmy nodded.
“Did one of you call the suit-guy for check-up?”
“Yes, he started already in the first rooms. He must be here in a few minutes.” Johnny replied.
10 minutes later the guy appeared with an envelope in hand.

“Alright, I did a little inspection of the rooms, I’m not really satisfied with your work, but you are no professional cleaning service so, thank you for your help and here is your payment for the day.”
With that he handed the envelope to Matt and left without another word.
Matt opened the envelope and counted the money, he sighed.
“Fuck… 150 dollar.. for all 5 of us working… a whole day? I mean, how many rooms did we clean.. Shit..”
“Wow.. another lousy pay… Damn, Matt we quickly gotta find something where we can make more money.” Zack sighed.
“Let’s just sleep here and move on, first thing in the morning…” Matt grabbed the map from Jimmy who was studying it.
“Alright, you guys wanna move west or back south?”
“South” we all said within the second
Matt looked at the map, tracing a road down south “Reno.”
“Shit, couldn’t we have gone there directly? We drove so many miles and hours to only go back to something that’s so close to San Francisco?” Zack muttered.
I slapped him against the back of the head “Don’t complain! It’s Reno!”

“Wait? Reno? I know someone in Reno.” Johnny said.
“Who would that be?” Matt asked.
“Gary James, he is an old friend, he earns a strip club there, called ‘Golden Lounge’ or something.. maybe he can get us some nice jobs at the club? What do you guys say?”
I think we all had shut down our thinking after Johnny mentioned the two magical words “Strip Club”, so we let Johnny call the guy and we had an appointment in Reno on the next day.
