The Gorgon hobbled into the lobby of the motel dressed and acting like the elderly man he appeared to be. He leaned heavily on the (*shotgun) cane and acted the part like he rehearsed it a million times. He took a particularly long time getting in the door and gruffed about the inconvenience, just like an old person would.<br/><br/>The young long haired kid behind the reception desk, put down his comic book and looked up unempathetically.  His name tag read, â€˜Nelsonâ€™ and he had a peperonied completion to match the dork name. â€œUuuuh yeah?....How can I help you?â€ He asked in a stoned daze.<br/><br/>â€œyesâ€¦..helloâ€¦â€¦.ooooh my back is aching something fierceâ€¦.ooooh excuse meâ€¦.ooohâ€¦.Yesâ€¦is it Nelson?.....Nelson, my newphew just came in here and rented a roomâ€¦I believe it was room â€˜26Bâ€™â€¦am I correctâ€¦tall, young hansome cowboy looking fella? You know the one I am talking about?â€ The Gorgon says, playing up the old creepy pervert to a â€˜Tâ€™.<br/><br/>â€œAaaah yessirâ€¦.yessir he had some vagrants accompanying him thoughâ€¦they looked like dirty punk rockers to me sirâ€¦.â€ Nelson replied.  â€œ I actually wasnâ€™t gonna rent the guy a room, because his friends looked like they was on drugsâ€¦falling all about the parking lot and carrying on and suchâ€¦.But the guy, your â€˜nephewâ€™ seemed pretty trustworthy so I rented them the room anywayâ€¦. But I ainâ€™t trying to get into no â€˜funny businessâ€¦..you hear me? I am not in the mood to be cleaning up any nasty messesâ€¦OK?â€ Nelson concluded, pointing a finger at what he assumed was an obvious pedophile.<br/><br/>â€œhey hey heyâ€¦no worries thereâ€¦.I want a separate room anyway! My nephewâ€™s Christian spirit makes him pick up any hitchhiker he might come acrossâ€¦.He says itâ€™s his opportunity to preach to the â€˜lostâ€™â€¦Boy has more heart than common sense as I sayâ€¦.but you know how stubborn a young man can beâ€¦He insists on giving them shelter, like they was Jesus and Maryâ€¦God bless his soulâ€¦Iâ€™ll be perfectly honest thoughâ€¦I canâ€™t stand those little â€˜gutter punkâ€™sâ€™ smell, it disgusts me all truth be told..... but if I can share a room across from his I should still be able to converse through the ventilation shaftâ€¦right?...How about this one?â€  The Gorgon recited the old manâ€™s tone like a practiced actor; he reached up and pointed out the room exactly on the other side of the wall from Rain and Johnnyâ€™s. â€œâ€¦.that one is connected by a ventilation shaft so we can talk like back when he was just a boyâ€¦.I still remember us stringing some cans together and talking to each other from the other roomâ€¦.aaahhh such memoriesâ€¦.â€ The Gorgon smiled his best nostalgic grin he could muster and the idiot motel manager ate it up.<br/><br/>â€œYessirâ€¦here you go, just sign in right hereâ€¦â€ Nelson gave over the ledger.
