"I was reading on the internet that some people were disappearing but, nowadays I doubt a day goes by that doesn't happen, mostly a lot of dead pets. What ever it is though I'm sure it won't be long before that changes." Jon knew he was on the verge of passing out right at the table.
"You know Bianca, I've heard drinking a lot of that stuff isn't good in a short period of time. I think it's about time we called it a night, I don't know about you but I don't like the thought of you coming down off a sugar rush while you're driving. Lenore we were going to get a room at a hotel, but we were going to just get one room to avoid suspiscion. If you need a place to stay for the day, we could just get two rooms and say we're cousins or something that way you two could have your privacy. As long as that's alright with the two of you. I have to imagine it would be strange sharing a room with a guy you've just met."

Lenore nodded.
"It's fine with me, as long as Bianca has no problem sharing a room with a vampire."

Bianca sighed, shaking her head to keep herself focused on the conversation.
"Guess we're going to have to head back out there then. Maybe I'm missing something because I was looking for the wrong thing."
She finished her can of Red Bull and stared at the empty item.
"Yeah, my heart's already racing." She moved her fingers to her pulse. "I'll probably fall over from a heart attack one of these days." She smiled, but doubted anyone else would see the humor in it.
Bianca appriciated John's concern, she didn't see it from many people now days. Her family hadn't even bothered to confirm that she was still alive.
"Oh, don't worry, I've got another can in the car. It'll keep me going for a few more miles. But thanks for the concern. As far as the hotel situation, whatever you guys decide on is fine with me. I've been in far stranger situations."

Jon reached across the table and placed his fingers over Bianca's pulse, he counted as a few seconds passed.
"You're running a little fast but as far as I can see and tell you're in very fit shape. I wouldn't worry about a heart attack unless you went on a binge and drank as many as you could in one go."
Jon ate a few of his fries before signaling the waitress for the check. He pulled out a few bills to cover it with the tip, and handed it back to her.
"How about we decide where we're all sleeping at the hotel, I need some sleep."

I've been in far stranger situations
Lenore was hard pressed to think of a situation more strange than a hunter rooming with a vampire, but didn't push the subject.
"There's a place a few blocks South of here."

Bianca nodded, that sounded like a plan to her. Any place with a bed sounded good to her right now.
"Let's go." She reached over and scooped up her bag from the booth. "I'm ready." She got to her feet as she rummaged for her car keys.

Jon started to head towards the front door, watching each person as he passed. He held the front door open and waited for the girls to walk by. He used the remote on his keys to have the truck started. He held his keys in one hand with the other wrapped around the handle of the pistol in his pocket. He couldn't tell if he was paranoid because he was tired or there was a reasonable threat.
"Lenore, you can ride with me if you want."

Relieved that she didn't have to walk for once, Lenore slid into the passenger seat of the truck.
"Thanks."

Bianca walked over to the Mustang. She put the key into the ignition as she got in. Pulling over to Jon's truck, she rolled the window down.
"Lead the way, Lenore."

"Alright just follow us and if we get split up for something, you have my cell number". Jon pulled out of the parking lot and started to drive down the road. He flipped on the radio to help him stay awake, "If there's a different station you want go ahead and change it". He pulled the gun out of his pocket and put it into the glove compartment. He unclipped the knife he had around his ankle and slid it under the seat. The truck rumbled smoothly down the street as they made their way towards the hotel.
He turned into the parking lot and shut the truck off, "I'll go grab some rooms if you wouldn't mind grabbing the black duffel out of the truck bed box", he pulled out his keys and singled out one with a black handle.
"That should open it, it sticks a little so you might need to wiggle it", he opened the door and headed towards the main office. A few minutes later he walked out with a set of room keys.
"Here I got a two room suite so you guys have your privacy, we'll just wait for Bianca and we can get some sleep."

Bianca pulled the Mustang onto the road behind Jon's truck. Her eyes were burning and heavy from lack of sleep. Her body was settling itself into the seat in an attempt to gear down for sleep. She felt the car sway slightly towards the yellow line and pulled it back firmly into her lane.
Fortunately, Jon pulled off the road. She sighed with relief and turned into the parking lot. She sat still for a long moment, letting her head fall against the steering wheel.
"God." She groaned.

Lenore followed Jon's instructions and retrieved his bag from bed box. She was trading him the bag for the motel key when Bianca pulled into the parking lot.
She looks three seconds away from passing out.
The vampire quickly made her way over to the human girl.
"Need some help?"

Jon slung his bag around his shoulder and after grabbing his laptop, locked his truck up for the night. He looked over and saw Bianca leaning forward on her steering wheel. The rooms weren't far from where they parked so he went over and threw his stuff onto the bed in the middle of the room. He checked the girls' room to make sure it was just like it ordered. He had gotten one that was built with two rooms so they had their privacy, probably meant for parents who wanted a seperate room from their kids. He made his way over to the mustang and held out Bianca's room key. He squatted down next to the window so he could see how she was doing.
"Come on let's get you to bed, you look about ready to drop."

Bianca slowly raised her head, looking at Lenore and Jon as they both approached her car. She felt like the living dead-or rather, she'd seen more active zombies in Romero movies than her at the moment.
"I'm all right. I just really can't drive anymore until I get some sleep. Or else this car is going to be wrapped around a tree."
She took the key Jon was holding out to her and pushed the car's door open. She got out of the car and walked around to the passenger side. She took out a purple overnight bag in addtion to her flowered handbag.
"Where are we going?" She asked.

The thought of getting to sleep in an actual bed for a night sounded like heaven to Lenore, as she vaguely remembered getting a catnap in some hayloft yesterday. Contrary to what the latest tween vampire travesty claimed, vampires did need sleep to survive, but first she needed to make sure Bianca didn't pass out on the way to the room.
