Murder Motel One
The sequel to The Snow Storm by Morgan Dawson September 17, 2007 “Am I speaking to a mister Owen Matthews?” “Yes, that would be me.. Can I help you?” He does not recognize the female voice on the other end of the line but he has to admit, it is a beautiful voice. He would know how to spot a lovely voice, considering her heard random voices all day long. “Hello, Mr. Matthews, my name is Marnie Jameson. I am a reporter for a national magazine. I would really like to do an intrview with you-” She begins.
Murder Motel Two
A couple of hours later Stephanie had finally arrived and today she was only seventeen minutes late, which for her, is a major improvement. She is usually any where from thirty minutes to an hour late for her shift. Owen should have put his foot down and fired her long ago, but finding anyone brave enough to risk being around him or willing to work at the motel was harder than it seemed. People are skittish and they believe what they hear. If they hear someone say that he is a killer, they believe it and they do what they can to stay clear of him. So, Owen bit back his annoyance and forced himself to not react whenever she was late or when she was being horrible to him, because he really needed her to work there. So he would always bite his tongue, trying to grin and bear it. Typi
Murder Motel Three
A few days later, Owen had all but forgotten the strange phone call that he had received the other night. He was used to getting the odd call from a complete quack who felt that they knew him from the information that was given out over the television stations. People wanted to come to the motel to get their fill of gore. Owen did not know what they people had expected prior to arrival, but most of them seemed oddly disappointed to find that there were not dead bodies laying in the hallway. They also seem to expect the place to be run down and blood splattered. He actually had a middle-aged woman actually scream at him for having the audacity to replace thr carpets and flooring. She wanted to see the original blood stains.
Murder Motel Four
The next morning when Owen comes down stairs to enter the office to relieve Samuel, the over night shift clerk, he bumps into a tall, slender woman. He was turning the corner in a hurry, not expecting anyone to be there and he ran right into her. He reaches out a hand to her arm to steady her, since the full weight of him plowing directly into her was enough to knock her backwards. Her arms flailed as she was knocked off balance. His hands wrap around her slender upper arms and he tugs her forward, until she is standing balanced on her feet once more. He is glad that he was able to stop her from falling, otherwise he would have felt horrible. “Woah, there. I am so sorry..” He begin
Murder Motel Five
Owen dispised journalists. Always had. They had made Lacey, Andy and the children' lives as hellish as they had his, by constantly hounding them. For months after the attack the press had hounded Lacey at the doctor's office and at her office. They called the house all hours of the night and day, begging for interviews. They went even more crazy when they caught wind of the fact that Owen was staying there. The press camped out on the lawn for two days, until Andy had called the sheriff to drag them away. A large, serious man in blue jeans, cowboy boots with a gun on his hip and a badge, he was enough to send them scattering on hi
Murder Motel Six
Liv stared at him without saying anything, as she mentally ran through a quick list of reasons as to why she should not let this stranger in to the room with her. Where they would be trapped inside of the same four walls. Alone. “Sure.” She opens the door wider, stepping back for him to come inside. He moves in just enough to close the door behind him, before he stops, standing still. Liv stands there awkwardly as well, not sure what to do. She does not want to sit on the bed and draw attention to the fact
Murder Motel Seven
Owen waited until she had put her seat belt on and fastened it before he started the truck. He feels kind of awkward around her, being alone with her like this in such close quarters but he had not wanted to pass up the opportunity to be around her for just a little bit longer. It has been a while since he had been around a woman that he liked enough to spend time with, so he was a bit out of practice. The last time he had been alone in a car with a woman was two years ago when he went on that last disasterous date. He had met a woman at the grocery store and she had flirted with him. A lot. He had gone along with it, but he did not really flirt back, because he just was not a flirter. Any line that he tried to be smooth with sounded gringe-wor
Murder Motel Eight
The two of them walk through the hardware store, hand in hand, as she does not seem inclined to let go of him and he has not intention of pulling away from her touch any time soon. He leads her down to the lumber section, where he prices the plank of wood that he will need. Not that money is an issue or anything, he just wants to make sure that he is getting the best wood that he can. With everyone being obsessed by this stupid legnd and his family, the motel has done such a booming business that he can easily say that he is well off. Not that he says it.. that would be in poor taste. But he is.

Liv looks at Jack, not comprehending the words that are coming out of his mouth as he tells her the news about Owen. “No.” “Liv.” “I said no, damn it!” She shouts at him, sitting up, trying to get off of the bed. “No. No, no, no! Fuck!” She smacks the remote on the side of the bed, knocking it to the floor. “Liv-” Jack sa
Murder Motel Thirty Four
When Owen comes to once more he is being drug through the woods beside the motel, as officer Michaels makes his way around the motel. Owen can not really tell where he is going, from his position there on his back. Officer Michaels tugs at the rope that binds his hands without any regard for the discomfort that he is causing Owen. His shoulders burn from the way that they are being pulled and his arms ache. His head hits against a large rock sticking up from the ground and he winces. Owen struggles to keep quiet and to not make a
Murder Motel Thirty Three
Liv looks at him, surprised by his words. “What did you say?” “Marty, the sheriff, is trying to draw out the killer. That is why he wanted it to look as if we were filming that interview live, so that come five o'clock, the killer would think that that we are all at the hospital. I think that Marty is hoping that he will go try to take another body to the motel. There are still three girls missing at the moment, that have not been found. He does not think that they will be found alive but he is hoping that if he catches the killer, maybe he can save some other girls.”
Murder Motel Thirty Two
Liv looks around at all of the people shoved into her tiny hospital room. She is fighting back a panic attack and she knows that Owen is doing the same. He hates being around people and he hates talking about his past. She understands this and she thinks that he is so brave for being willing to even do this in the first place. She is so beyond proud of him. She is trying not to freak out by how hemmed in she feels. Like Owen, she does not do well in crowds. But if she is on her feet and able to move around, she can usually always
Murder Motel Thirty One
Owen could only stare at Liv, as she lay there in the bed with her beautiful teal eyes looking up at him, watching his every move. He stares back at her, almost not brave enough to believe that this is actually real, in case it his just his mind playing tricks on him. “Owen?” She is blinking at him, with tears on her lashes and he can not stand it. He rushes over to her and leans over her head, brushing the small beads from her eyes. “You are okay, baby!”
Murder Motel Thirty
Owen spends three days and nights beside her bed, not leaving and barely eating. He has not showered or shaved. He changed clothes in her attached bathroom and gave himself a wash rag bath so that he would not stink, but that is the most that he would do. He would not leave her side for anything. Andy and Lacey brought him food and drinks. Jack and Andy ran the motel for him while Lacey spent her days at his side, keeping him company. Jesse and the sheriff got a story from Taylor, but it was all kinds of wrong. She claimed that Owen kidnapped her, with the hel
Murder Motel Twenty Nine
“Liv!” Owen's hart stops beating in his chest when he hears the deafening sound of the gun going off and he sees Liv fall backwards to the ground. He hears her cry out in pain and his stomach knots up. He can not breath and he feels his throat tightening up when she does not move. “No. No, no, no! Liv, get up, baby! Get up!” Owen cries, looking at her.
Murder Motel Twenty Eight
Liv watched Owen go down and an involuntary scream left her lips. “Owen!” She slides from the chair to fall at her knees, rolling him towards her and cradling his head on her lap. “Owen, honey, wake up!” She pats his cheek roughly and his eyelids flutter. The back of his head is bleeding and she can feel it seeping through her pants leg. She looks up at the person who hit him, ready to light into them when she notices the gun pointed at her face.
