60 The Robbery At The Seaside View Hotel

Around midnight, the peaceful neighborhood around the Seaside View Hotel was disturbed by two loud noises that occurred one after another. The first one was the loud sound of glass shattering and the second one was the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Fearing for the worst, the residents of the neighborhood immediately called the emergency numbers to report the abnormal sounds. It was not until the sirene of police cars and a fire truck was heard that the inhabitants dared to go out of their homes to see what happened.

It did not take the professionals a long time to find the source of the noises.

Onlookers at the side of the road could see a gaping hole at one of the top floors in the Seaside View Hotel where a window wall used to be. Floors beneath the hole was a heap of wooden, red velvety cloth, and sponge material that were brutally ripped apart, possibly due to the fall.

Although the frame was completely destroyed, it did not take long to recognize that the broken furniture used to be a recliner. Two heart-shaped red pillows were found around a hundred meters away from the broken furniture.

The receptionists were shaken when a bunch of grim-looking, uniformed police officers and firemen marched into the hotel.

“Police. We would like to investigate the top floor area.”

One of the poor receptionists trembled when she reported the presence of local authorities in the hotel.

Just when the police officers lost their patience and demanded one of the receptionists to take them upstairs, the hotel manager came down in a hurry to lead them to the presidential suite in question.

.....

The only good thing about the whole incident was that the Seaside View Hotel was managed by werewolves. A group of trained personnel had been prepared a long time ago to address such incidents. Their job was to conceal any clues that would lead to the discovery of the werewolf society.

When the police officers and firemen entered the presidential suite, they were led to the room just beneath the presidential suite floor.

Aside from the broken window, the room looked as if it had been ransacked by a robber. A couple of werewolves were shivering in a corner. While their wounds were attended to by medics, they narrated a story in which a group of gunned robbers barged into the room and took everything that they had.

Said robbers broke through the window in order to escape as fast as possible after they finished raiding the room for valuables.

Inspector John Wilkins who listened to the couple’s testimony went to inspect the broken window afterward, but he could not find anything amiss.

The couple decided to not press charge and just let it be because the stolen valuables were not much. Also, it put too much strain on their mental sanity if they had to testify in court and so on.

After gathering all pieces of evidence and barricading the room, the police officers informed the hotel manager that they would still investigate the case whether or not the couple wanted to press charge.

Inside the car on their way back to the police station, the young police officer who drove the car made a remark.

“That was something, wasn’t it, Inspector Wilkins?”

The inspector merely gave a grunt while looking outside the window and watching the streetlights as they passed by quickly.

“Did you uh, did you find something interesting, Sir?”

The young police officer had just started working a month ago. Not many things happened in Hapsborough City. A mysterious incident that involved the Seaside View Hotel was definitely one of the highlights of the young man’s week.

“Hmm.”

“Umm... Care to share, Sir? Hahaha...”

Inspector Wilkins turned from the window and stared at the young police officer’s head through the driver seat’s headrest.

“Do you know any robber who would jump out of a ninetieth floor to escape the crime scene?”

The young police officer frowned. “No, Sir.”

“On top of that, it was tempered glass. Just how great the impact must be when the furniture hit the glass?” He pondered.

The young police officer was quiet for a while, then he started babbling.

“Then these robbers must be equipped with hi-tech equipment! Sir, maybe they are like Spiderman. They can just jump to the nearest tree and go down from there and...”

Inspector Wilkins let the young man continue with some imaginary conspiracy theories when he turned his head to look outside the windows again.

What really disturbed him was not the broken window or the strange robbers.

The red recliner looked like a luxurious piece of furniture. It did not fit with the other cream-colored furniture in the ordinary room at all.

Meanwhile, the hotel manager waited until everyone left before he quietly made his way up to the presidential suite floor.

“Alpha, the officers are gone,” he reported dutifully.

“Good job.”

Kinnon was sitting on a couch in the living room. Two Healers had just finished bandaging his chest and stomach. They wanted to continue with the scratches and bite marks on his arms and neck, but he stopped and dismissed them all instead.

“But Alpha, we are not done yet,” one of them protested.

There was a haughty glint across Kinnon’s eyes when he lifted his gaze to look at the Healers.

“Who do you think you are speaking to?” he asked.

While he was speaking, the small wounds on his arms started to heal.

After that, the Healer had no more objections. Everyone obediently took their leave.

Kinnon went into the lavish bedroom that had been destroyed thoroughly in a short time.

The bed was broken and the mattress was brutally torn. There were long, deep scratches all over the wall and carpets. Some parts of the wallpaper had been ripped mercilessly off the wall.

Most of the furniture were overturned if not smashed and destroyed completely.

If Inspector Wilkins were there, he would have noticed that a ferocious fight had taken place in the room.

Not between two human beings but between two beasts.
