Unexpected company

Date: June 11th, morning
Location: In front of the manor
Status: Public
Summary: Two mystery guests appear.


A car pulled up in front of the manor and swerved neatly into a free parking space. After a moment, the front doors opened, and two men got out. Both were tall and lean, but any semblance between them ended there. Where one of them wore his blonde hair cropped short, the other, a dark-skinned, dark-eyed fellow looking a good fifteen years younger than his fair-complexioned companion, sported an unruly mane of black curls, hardly tamed by a loose tie at the nape of his neck. The former wore the suit to match his well-groomed appearance, the second made do with worn jeans and a sleeveless shirt.

The dark one walked around the car to stand with the driver.

"It's out of the way enough to check, I guess," he mused.

"It's too far," the other replied. "He never could have made it this far."

The dark one snorted. "You've no idea what a man can do if he sets his mind to it."

"Not after I'm through with him," the other told him.

That made his companin grin. "Point being," he said, "you weren't through with him yet or he wouldn've have gotten away. Now let's get going."

They started ambling towards the house.

Rose handed the post it's and a pen over, smiling.

"Sure."

He wrote down his cell phone number in neat print.

"I think it's easiest for everyone if we take rooms here," he suggested as he handed it back. "If you don't mind."

Rose took the post it with the number and smiled at the men.

"I don't mind at all. We have three different types of rooms here. The rooms on the first floor each have a king-size bed and a bathroom with bathtub. On the second floor are rooms with a single bed and a bathroom with bathtub. And the rooms on the third floor have a single bed as well and a bathroom with a shower. What type of room would you prefer?"

"I will have one of the large ones," Greenwood said. "Do you have any that have a smaller room attached for my driver?"

He gestured at his companion.

They were going to stay? For some reason Jan didn't like this. Of course it was ridiculous. After all they were obviously only looking for that Mr. Cole, but he still felt that they were a threat to innocent young Miss Heerkens.

"I'm sorry, but we do not have connected rooms. Would you like one of the smaller upstairs rooms for your driver then?"

Rose was already checking, which of the big rooms were still available. She was even considering putting the man in one of the rooms furthest from the other guests.

"I guess I will take two adjacent rooms then," the man said. "I really want him nearby, just in case. I will pay a week in advance."

[roseheerkens]

"Two adjacent rooms it is, sir."

Rose took two check-in forms and handed them over along with two pens.

"Please fill these in. Rooms 124 and 123 are free. They are identically equipped, but room 124 is closer to the stairs. Just put the number of the room you choose on the form so staff knows where to find you."
