5.

Violet

Frantically searching the halls of the hotel for Mike, we could not find him anywhere. Rushing to the front desk, we were all out of breath, causing the desk clerk to look at us.

"May I help you?" She said a bit slowly.

"Mike Mizanin...have you seen him?!" I shouted between breaths.

"Who?" She asked as she looked through her computer.

"Damn it!" I slammed my hand on the deck, startling her.

"Vi..calm down..." Shauna said soothingly.

"A guy, about my height, dirty blonde hair, fo-hawk." Alex explained the best he could.

"Oh him..he left about 5 minutes ago." She said, not really caring.

"Was he with anyone?" Shauna asked, getting anxious, as I started to get impatient.

"Well..he was following another gentleman around...tall...dirty blonde hair, spikey, kinda cute." She explained as she blushed.

"He aint cute honey." I muttered.

"Thank you." Alex said as we started to leave, until I heard someone call my name.

"Vi!" I heard again, causing me to turn around.

"I'll catch up." I said to Shauna as I left before she could answer.

Walking over to where the voice was coming from, I cautiously made my way over. Seeing who it was, my eyes went wide.

"Miss me?" He grinned.

Mike

Following Ted from the hotel, I couldn't help but wonder what he was up to. Making his way into a small coffee shop down the street, I waited a bit before following him in. After he got his drink and sat down, I made my way in. Ordering myself a coffee, I sat in a booth across the room from him. Trying to decode his body language, he seemed a bit too relaxed. As he sipped his drink, he looked at his phone and a grin appeared on his face. Standing up, he began to exit the shop with his coffee in hand. Shortly after he left, I stood up to follow him. 'What is he up to?' I thought to myself as we headed back to the hotel.

"Mike!" I heard from behind me. Looking in the direction I came from, I saw Shauna and Alex running toward me.

"Mike thank god!" Shauna said out of breath.

"What is going on?" I asked, confused.

"Vi. She was with me. She thought you were Ted and got scared." She said.

"Where is she now?!" I demanded.

"She was at the hotel. Said she would catch up." She added.

"You left her alone?!" I barked, running my hands through my hair.

"I'm sorry! I figured Ted was not here so she would be fine!" Shauna said, almost in tears.

"Shauna.." I said, pulling her into a hug. "I'm sorry. I lost her once and I'm not going to again." I sighed as I rubbed her back.

"I know...it's fine." She sniffled.

"Lets go before anything else happens." Alex interjected.

Nodding, we all rushed to the hotel. Walking into the lobby, we saw no sign of Vi anywhere. Looking all over, we heard a few muffled screams coming from the stairway. Heading in that direction, we were going as fast as we could hoping we were not too late.
