Well, that was simple.
Andrew remarked in his head, and left the bathroom. He opened his mouth to explain just why he was walking into the room with just a towel on, then noticed that Nicole was gone.
"Nicole?"
Where was she? The sight of emergency lights flickering made him worried, somewhat. After all, he had just talked to a rather driven woman, if Andrew's refusal really had made her upset, could she hurt Nicole? That didn't exactly make the emergency next to the hotel better, and he looked out the window. Luckily he spotted her, or what he thought to be her at least.
That is Nicole, I'm sure of it. Why is she checking out the scene, though? What happened?
He could see both police cars and ambulances, but he didn't think there was anything suspicious about that in it self, though it was a bit troubling that it was right next to their hotel.
Still, that doesn't make it right.
He was tempted to rush out and go see her, remind her of that they weren't supposed to split up, but he certainly couldn't go like this. Quickly drying his body and putting on the clothes he was still carrying around, he made another attempt at drying his hair completely -a failed attempt, there was something about his hair that just seemed to hold onto water- and went outside, taking the key to the room with him. He locked the door, then took the stairs, they weren't high up either way. A bit annoyed, he then strolled over to Nicole.
"Hi," he said in order to get her attention, though he masked his annoyance. It wasn't her fault she was curious, he supposed. And who knew, she could have told him, he hadn't heard anything, but he had also been having a conversation with the steam goddess.
"What are you doing out here? I thought we were supposed to stick together." He looked to the scene, from the lack of action from the medical team, it seemed whoever they had found was dead, or had died. Well, lack of action was perhaps a bad word, they weren't standing around doing nothing, but they didn't seem to be in a hurry either, not the kind of hurry one would be in if someone was dying.
"Do you know what happened? Wait, give me a moment." He took in his surroundings a little, clearly working something out in his head. "Someone was killed, probably very recently, the police are involved, they seem stressed, so it might be rather serious. I don't think more than one person was killed, though, it doesn't look like there's enough activity for that, though from the amount of medical personnel they might have been expecting more." He sighed.
"It doesn't really seem like we can do anything about it, though. We might as well go back inside," he muttered, and grabbed her arm. "I've got something more important to tell you." Andrew realized that his way of saying that might seem like a murder didn't matter. Of course it did. It just didn't concern them.
"Well, that's not true, this is important. I meant something more important to us."
