"What now?" Jo asked, her short black hair rippling in the breeze from the air conditioning. "Now we run!" her older sister Emily yelled as she turned to run down a long corridor. Jo ran down the corridor behind her sister looking behind them to see how far away their brother James was. Jo could see him running after them, after Em with a look of anger like she'd never seen on his face. They ran around several corners before they found an exit. They ran out onto the busy New York street and away from the building. They ran to a hotel and Emily went to the front desk and told the attendant they had dropped their room key into the ice machine and needed a new one. The attendant gave Emily the key and Emily went over to the elevator where Jo stood waiting. Together the two girls went up to the top floor and to room 1073. Emily opened the door to a room with trash on the floor and spilled drinks on the counters. Emily sighed and grabbed a rag then started cleaning. Jo grabbed some trash and threw it away asking "Are you sure it's a good idea to leave the do not disturb sign up all the time?"
"It doesn't seem like a very good idea to me."
"Why?"
"Because then they'll find out that they've got two teens living alone."
"I still don't think it's a good idea. If someone notices that the sign never leaves the door they'll get suspicious."
Emily nodded and continued cleaning so they wouldn't look like complete wrecks.
