The sudden and screeching stop of the vehicle swung both Rattus and Beth forward. It also attracted the attention of the bystanders who were walking in front of the hotel. Rattus was relieved that he did wear his seatbelt while at the front, but he was disappointed by the amount of notice that the abrupt stop drew on to them, especially when Aderyn confirmed his suspicions about the car. On one hand, he did expect Neo to steal cars both as necessary and fancy when involved in such tasks. On the other, they might have then attracted the attention of the police. As an arms dealer, he knew that such ostentatious exhibition was asking for trouble, but he was riding with fae, who he thought as having little care with laws and social norms of an urban area, much more of the human civilization in general.<br/><br/>On the other hand, Beth almost got thrown forward against the backrest of the front seat when the car stopped. If she did not press herself against the backrest of her own seat, she would have hit herself forward. She was thankful that she did so, but she said to herself out loud, "That was... terrifying."<br/><br/>"I suggest that ride with Neo, beside him, in the front seat sometime, Miss Keaton," Rattus told her. "Regularly doing so will accustom you with such unpleasant speed and handling of an automobile."<br/><br/>"With all due respect, but I must decline, Mister von Engels," Beth answered.<br/><br/>As soon as they all stepped off the car, Rattus looked at all of them and nodded slightly, as an invitation to go to the penthouse of the grand hotel. He exhaled as a sign of relief, producing short-lived clouds of fog from him mouth, and pushed back his glasses.<br/><br/>While walking down the busy halls of the hotel and towards the elevator, a couple of staff approached Rattus and one of them said, "Sir, we've seen the damage to our furniture in the penthouse, and we suspect that one of your companions did this. The management wants you to pay for it."<br/><br/>"State the monetary worth of damages the penthouse furniture has sustained," He asked them. "I shall talk to the hotel administration to settle this matter. I wish to have a negotiation with them immediately."<br/><br/>"Yes, sir," The hotel crewman acknowledged. "This way, sir. They will tell you specifics about it."<br/><br/>"Follow me," he told the others. "We have to talk with the hotel owners. We might be able to get more information from them regarding this incident in an impromptu questioning." He turned towards a different direction, where the waitstaff were leading them.
