Laughs You really know how to save a penny, huh?
smirks and winks You bet your ass I do, Linkinte. Now let's get our room key and hit the bar for a few drinks.
Sounds good, Vic. Let's get some shut-eye.
As Victoria and Linkinte check into the motel, a group of suspicious-looking people enter the lobby, eyeing their car suspiciously.
Looks at the group What the hell are they up to?
grinning mischievously Oh, come on, Linkinte! Don't tell me you're scared of a few harmless locals.
No, not really...just seem familiar. Maybe they're here for the same reasons we are.
raises an eyebrow Oh, I see, Linkinte. So you're saying we should trust these guys? Just because they look "harmless"?
Not exactly, Vic. Just keep your guard up.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh please, Linkinte. I'm always ready for any trouble that comes my way.
Good, because there's bound to be some here.
smirks and cracks her knuckles Bring it on, I say! If anyone tries to mess with us, they'll regret it!
pulls out her switchblade, flicks it open Watch your back, assholes! waves the blade menacingly at the group
Woah, Vic! Save the theatrics for when it's really needed.
tucks the switchblade back in her pocket, rolling her eyes Fine, fine. Play it safe, Linkinte. But you never know what might happen.

Agreed. We'll rest and move on tomorrow.
paces back and forth in their small hotel room I can't shake this feeling, Linkinte. Something's not right in this town.
Is it because of those guys outside? They seem harmless enough.
rolls her eyes Harmless? Please, Linkinte. I've seen enough scumbags in my life to recognize one when I see it.
Fair enough. Get some sleep, boss lady. We've got an early start.
As Victoria and Linkinte settle into their hotel room, they hear strange noises coming from the adjacent room.
Whispers You hear that, Vic?
grins mischievously Oh, you've got to be kidding me, Linkinte! Looks like we've got some entertainment on our hands!
Guess not everyone is asleep.
rushes towards the door, unlocking it quietly Let's go peek inside and see what kind of shenanigans are going on next door.
Grins Alright, let's take a look.
pushes the door open slowly, peeking inside Hold on a sec, Linkinte. pauses, listening intently Sounds like they're having some kind of party in here.
Chuckles A party? At this hour? Strange.
enters the room cautiously, scanning the surroundings Let's see if we can find anything interesting. spots a liquor cabinet
Looks at the liquor cabinet Steal something, Vic? Old habits die hard.
grins mischievously Oh, you know me too well, Linkinte. But this time, I'm not just stealing liquor.
Smiles Then what are you after, boss lady?
rummages through the liquor cabinet, pulling out a bottle of whiskey I'm gonna make sure we have the best damn drink in this whole goddamn town!
