Rating: who knows with these two
Ben hadn't been able to sleep well most of the night, or rather he slept but his dreams were exhausting, terrifying, unsettling. He woke up early morning and when it was obvious that he wasn't going back to sleep, he just got up. Changing into his sweats, he worked out for a while. Not too long because he needed to go to the Congreve Hotel.
He paused for a moment. Whatever Dante wanted, it seemed urgent, if the mind-stabbing entrance into the ether the day before was any indication.
Once he was thoroughly worked out, Ben showered quickly and changed. He didn't load up completely but Ben Stone didn't go anywhere anymore with out some measure of protection. Only two guns and his knife sheathed against his boot, that's all. Well except for the silver Celtic Triscele he always wore around his neck. He grabbed the black blessed cord it was on, slipped it over his head once again and left the sanctum and protection of the Library.
It wasn't along drive to the hotel thankfully. Ben parked his bike and walked toward the entrance, all of him on guard for anything. He hadn't survived this long by being completely stupid. He went to the desk; Dante had said the room would be under his name. He got the key and headed upstairs.
The room was nice enough for such a hotel, but that wasn't why he was there. He sat down on the edge of the bed so he had a clear view of both the door as well as the view out the window. Dante hadn't specified a time but he hoped it wouldn't be too long. There was a bit TOO much weird going on, and Ben was growing more and more impatient.
