Chapter 8...Part 2

After a couple of days it started to look like things were not going to happen. They still had the rental but it was getting close to when they were going to have to turn that in also.

They went to Ogden and spent some time with her mom then went and the girl spent some time with her sister. The guest told her he wanted to stay in the car and figure something out. The girl was completely out of ideas by this point.

They were going to go to a truck stop for the night and sleep in the car and the girl’s dad called and offered to get them a room for the night. The guest wanted to get a room in Tooele because that was closest to John so her dad got them a room at the same place they had already been staying at.

This was kind of a scary night. The girl was up late and heard a horrible noise. She looked out the window and a man keying someone’s car and yelling for someone to come down. The only thing the girl could think was that someone was cheating on their spouse and he was mad. She was so worried cuz their rental was sitting next to the car he was damaging. She called the front desk and was told the cops were on their way. They did get there later but the guy was gone. The girl was so scared that something was going to happen to the rental. In the end the rental was fine and who knows what happened with the domestic situation. Ironically the guest slept through the whole event.

The girl’s dad ended up getting them a room for the next night also so they had a place to stay one more night. The girl had to go to work and their cell phones had been shut off. When she left the guest was really sick and mad at her for leaving but she knew she couldn’t continue to miss work. She had to go.

They made it through the night and the next day the couple was completely out of options. The girl’s dad called and offered to get his time share at Wolf Creek for the couple for a few days. It was something.

It was the weekend and the couple had a relaxing few days. They watched videos and the condo was so comfortable. It was so beautiful outside and the girl loved being in the mountains.

On Monday the girl decided she’d had enough. When she left the guest she started making phone calls. She called everyone she had a phone number for and could get in touch with. Everyone said they had not been paid and no one seemed to have any idea what was going on. Sandy at the title company said that she not only had not gotten wire transfers but she was also out the money that she had given the couple. Everyone said they couldn’t understand why a person would promise something like that and not follow through.

The girl finally decided that she was going to leave the guest. She talked with her parents and told them that her only option was to drop him off at a truck stop and let him find his own way in life. She didn’t have any way to support him. She hadn’t even gotten her last paycheck because they had moved. She was out of options. The only option she had left was to go stay with a friend and the guest was not invited.

Before the last day at the condo, the girl got a phone call from the car rental company. They told her that the couple had over-extended too much and if they didn’t return the rental that night then they would report it stolen. The girl got a friend to help her take the rental back and get her to the condo.

The next day the girl’s parents came to get them. They told her they would help her leave the guest.
