Who: Ella and Tierney
Where: The Regent Hotel
When: Around noon

When Ella woke up in her hotel room she was both relieved and annoyed. She was relieved to be in familiar surroundings again, but annoyed because she still didn't have her freedom, which meant she wouldn't be seeing her family any time soon. A part of her was starting to really enjoy Lavel, especially because she could walk around and explore as she pleased and she had been yanked away from it all so suddenly. Now that she was back in the hotel she was stuck there with no way of escaping and there was nothing she could do to change that. She considered complaining to management again, but she knew that didn't get her far last time. She was convinced it wouldn't get her far this time. In fact, the only thing she would accomplish was to get herself pissed off which was an emotion she wasn't in the mood to feel right now.

Since a lot happened while in Lavel she was going especially slow that morning. She took her time waking up and slept in for as long as possible, eventually rolling out of bed for breakfast then rolling back into bed to get more shut eye. It wasn't until roughly eleven forty-five in the morning that she woke up for good and hopped in the shower. As she was brushing her teeth while waiting for the conditioner to soak into her hair she heard laughter. She finished up her brushing, rinsed her hair out and peeked out of her shower. "Hello?" she called. The laughter continued. It was children's laughter and it caused her to end her shower then and there. She exited the bathroom and found an outfit to wear quickly. The laughter sounded like it was coming from the room next door. She wondered why there would be children in this hotel. She knocked on the door to the room next to hers, but no one was answering the door. She couldn't stop herself from asking out loud, "What's going on around here?"
