Be Here Big Joe

"Those places will really get ya."

"The ones with the flashing lights?"

"Yeah, the green lights. Means they record everything, will give it to the cops too. Some sort of city pledge."

"Damn, thats stupid. "

"Yeah, but its crazy it works."

They turned into the hotel.

"You go in first, I'll come in in ten minutes."

James entered the hotel, paying attention to the workers. They entered just at 8pm. So it should be quiet. It was, the usual guy, he was on his own. 

"Just you tonight?"

"Yeah, can't hire anyone."

"Damn, extra work."

"Nah, man pretty quiet pretty quiet." 

James walked away. This time taking the stairs. He looked for the usual, exits and cameras. 

He repeated in his head like 
Big Joe
"Cameras and exits".

Seventh floor they were on, they'd leave tomorrow. Then comeback in a day together for everything.

James took a puff from a disposable vape he'd bought. The staircase smelt like chocolate chip cookies. 
He took another breath without the vape. It felt quiet. Then, two floors down,  the girl from the hotel came, and went out the back propping the door open with a cinder block. The light from the outside was orange. 

"Shit, she shouldn't be here."
