John Was driving, the two girls sitting in the back and his friend Jeff next to him. He was just doing them a favor to drive them to their new job and home. He had to have his lights on because of the late evening drive to the country to the Old Hotel outside of Mathilda.

Out in the country turning off on one of the small one lane dirt roads led the way to the hotel. The trees had large crowns but no leafs as it was winter and snow had covered the ground. He saw a figure passing across ahead. Jeff asked him, did you see that?  Yeah , what was that? The girls had no idea what were they talking about. Too busy with their thoughts of a new job at the hotel.

He was late to see the car coming. Just enough time to jump behind one of the trees. It would have been a mistake if they saw him the way he was. Not that he was reckless, he was very punctual of what he did and that’s why no one ever was able to pinpoint him in anything that happened lately in the area.  He new he can be in big trouble if he is caught.

The whole thing started with that book. The Blue Bloods!  He was fascinated with rich and aristocratic people. The first time after reading the book he was trying to quench his curiosity but he was thinking of it too much. At work the people even asked him what’s on his mind because he seemed to be  somewhere else.

The first one just happened by chance. He was out walking in the woods and the next thing he knew he is looking at his hands and they were covered red. He could have swear ed they told him the family was a blue blood. They’ve had this big house and cars and horses on the estate. The town just called them the blue bloods. Even his father remembered them from his childhood, the rich family.  He was just looking at his hands as he was in the lounge with him in front of him. He seemed to ooze some sort of red, like blood as he was jerking on the floor. But, he thought theSe are blue blooded people. People told him that.  As he was looking at him jerking in front of him on the floor he thought of the others in the cellar. What if they are the same? He had 3 more down there all from the same family and he was sure they are blue bloods.

The girls had never been to the hotel. The whole job thing was handled through the Internet and phone calls by an agency. The girls didn’t even speak the language. They were hired as Cleaning ladies and their job was to clean out the room and change the bedding after the guests have left.

OK More next time. Thanks for reading
