| Road to our new Home (Luke and Mark) | |
| By: guest85 Date: May 30, 2020, 9:54 am | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| During this awful pandemic Luke and Mark started to lose that | |
| once close relationship they once had | |
| Mark used to look up to his father and hang on his every Call to | |
| him. Mark recently picked up the Hobby | |
| of the paranormal arts and he has experimenting but not | |
| succesfully with the Wegi Board Last time he tried | |
| that his Pops Spelled out Spanking for him and that was last | |
| time I played with it (although i have packed it just in | |
| case i get bored and want to conjour up a old teacher or someone | |
| in the family who owes me on back Birthdays | |
| I saved up and started to read how to do amateur Paranormal | |
| readings by using sound recorder | |
| and spreading white baby powden in the hallways of rooms i was | |
| not going into.... Dad walked in that | |
| room and tripped and fell into the Mixture and i thought i had | |
| seen a ghost | |
| Nope it was Dad covering in Baby powder and i tried to make | |
| light of it (he decided to give me the spanking of my | |
| Ten year life and I had to premise him to stop with this | |
| nonsense of Paranormal stuff or he was going to make | |
| my hiney disappear | |
| Fast forward on our adventure to Colorado on Dad;'s Interview at | |
| the Stanley Hotel.. I smiled when i heard about it | |
| and I surprised him when i did not throw a fit about moving . | |
| It was not the most ideal spot and i was moving away | |
| from bad friends... Bad naughty friends as they always got in | |
| trouble... They never got in trouble like i did | |
| and i always questioned him about it "HE just told me "Well I | |
| am your Father and i am not theirs" | |
| I picked up the table and pulled up Stanley/Overlook Hotel and | |
| read about the reviews | |
| Ghost tours. Ghost Rooms.. and yes the myths about :Strange | |
| Shenanigans that go bump | |
| on the night | |
| I made sure i hid these things from him and i was sure the | |
| person doing the interview would not bring things | |
| up. They didn't want to lose potential clients and workers | |
| I am sure he will find out about the Stanley himself and it will | |
| be to late to turn around | |
| Very Delighted and excited Adventure | |

| The last few years had been rough on Luke and his young son, | |
| Mark. When he first retired from the military, life went well | |
| for him and his family. He had a good job heading up the | |
| maintenance department of a prestigious hotel chain. Working | |
| part time as security. He and Mark, had a close relationship. | |
| Then after Mark's mother passed thing were just not the same. | |
| From years of training he repressed his emotions, telling | |
| himself he needed to be strong for mark's sake. But, a darkness | |
| formed around his repressed emotions, causing a slight riff | |
| between him and Mark. He still loved his son more then life, but | |
| that special closeness that shared did not seem to be there | |
| anymore. | |
| His closest friends told him, he needed to sell the house, | |
| move away and leave the past in the past. Luke, thought for a | |
| long while about doing just that.But kept thinking that it would | |
| not be fare to Mark to up root him, take him away from | |
| everything he knew. But on second thought it may be best for | |
| Mark. The hoodlums he has started hanging with were leading him | |
| down a dark road, and his redicules interest in the paranormal, | |
| supernatural crap was going to get me killed. He chuckled at the | |
| memory of the powder incident. Slipping and falling, covered in | |
| baby powder. Giving Mark the bare bottom spanking/ paddling of | |
| his young life. But it was at that point he made his choice. He | |
| found and ad for a maintenance person with experience in all | |
| aspects of hotel/motel maintenance, Grounds keeping, and a | |
| knowlege of hotel/motel management. | |
| He sent in his application and with in a week he recieved a | |
| letter for a face to face interview. The next day he put his | |
| house on the marked, Quit his job and started packing. Now came | |
| the hard part. Telling Mark, they were moving. He was rather | |
| suprised at how well his son took the new. But relieved he was | |
| open to the move.......................... | |
| His thoughts were interrupted, as he saw the "Welcome to Estes | |
| Col." Looking over to his son who was busy reading his tablet. | |
| Well, we are almost there. Mark. I know you promised me you | |
| would give up all that supernatural garbage. But please, let me | |
| tell you, I do not wanna hear anything about Creepy looking, | |
| Ghost, paranormal activity, strange noises, or anything like | |
| that. Do not wander off asking staffers silly questions about | |
| unexplained activity. No talk of supernatural or paranormal | |
| garbage. Kapeis | |
| A little while later they parked in the hotel parking. | |

| ( Not sure if ready for me or not yet but will just do it this | |
| way and then will wait until you get inside) | |
| Looking at the application one last time knowing he should be | |
| there shortly. Going into the lobby. " Maddie there should be a | |
| gentleman coming in sometime today. His name is Luke ? When | |
| he gets here go ahead and send him to my office. If I am not | |
| mistaken there will also be a young boy with him If you would | |
| please show him the play area and keep an eye out. Just like you | |
| would if one of mine were out there and I was busy." | |

| Mark sign of adventure has always been something his Dad always | |
| Loathed | |
| I think he expected Mark to sit in his room and play with his | |
| Cars and watch Cartoons. His interest in the paranormal arts | |
| begas after his Mom's death as he wanted answers to the | |
| unanswered questions. (why did she die (Did she still love him | |
| when she past away ) He has studies the weegie board and even | |
| though it was packed away it was someplace his father | |
| was not going to find it. He was looking at he layout of the | |
| hotel when he noticed the hedge maze that was in the back of | |
| it and immedioately wanted to see it. | |
| Mark and His Dad like to go to the Halloween ones but sometimes | |
| Dad's lack of believability and hating horror movies | |
| always pissed on his haunted hay rides or his corn maze | |
| exploring | |
| Once inside we went up to the middle where this yojung girl was | |
| at. | |
| I put my hand in my Father cup of hi hand and says "Go get him | |
| Dad" your going to knock them dead | |
| I mean your gong to hit a Home Run not wanting to give away | |
| mark's excitement of being here | |
| The MCbains are here to take over the Maintenance department i | |
| say very proudly | |
| Mark 10 | |

| Getting out of the car, Luke gave a quick look over of the | |
| hotel and grounds. "Impressive. I had expected it to be a bit | |
| more worn and run down looking. But the owner seems to take | |
| great pride in his establishment. The building doesn't look | |
| anywhere near its age." He thought to himself. | |
| Taking Mark by the hand, they walked through the entry into | |
| lobby. Luke was awed by the shear grandness and old world | |
| beauty. Looking down at Mark. "Impressive, isn't it son. This is | |
| how a hotel should look and feel." | |
| As they walked through the lobby, a young woman looking to be | |
| no more then 18, greeted them. "Hello Mr McBain Ms Jennifer said | |
| she see you in her office I can you there right now." Then she | |
| addressed Mark. " | |
| Hello Their young man once i am done showing your Dad where to | |
| go I will be back and we can head over to the arcade area and i | |
| can give you complimentary tokens to play with." | |
| Luke. knelt down to looking Mark in the eyes. "Remember your | |
| promise, son. Nothing about paranormal or supernatural things. | |
| No wandering off to explore. Behave yourself for Miss Mattie. | |
| When I am done with the interview we will get some lunch." He | |
| said as he ruffled Marks hair. "Go get him Dad" your going to | |
| knock them dead... I mean your gong to hit a Home Run.The | |
| McBains are here to take over the Maintenance department." Mark, | |
| exclaimed. Luke, gave his son a bright smile and hugged him. | |
| "Your darn right we are son." Pointing to a chair. "Now please | |
| sit right there and wait for Mattie to come back for you." | |
| Luke followed Mattie. The girl was very attractive.......or as | |
| the kids say today... Supe cutes. Suprisingly for her age she | |
| seemed to have a maturity and a professionalism of an older | |
| person...Though her reference to Miss Jennifer as Jen monster, | |
| showed she still needed learn respect for her superiors and | |
| elders. Stopping infront of an office door. Luke, thanked the | |
| young woman. Watching her walk away....................mentally | |
| slapping himself on the head. "Enough of that old fool. Girls | |
| young enough to be your daughter." he reprimanded himself. | |
| Taking a cleansing breath. He knocked on the door | |
| Luke | |

| Hearing the knock on the door Jennifer goes over to open it. As | |
| she extends her hand out. | |
| " Mr. Luke McBain I take it. I am Jennifer Davis and the manager | |
| of this place. It is nice to meet you and do come in and have a | |
| seat so we can visit for a bit. I do have a pot of coffee ready | |
| if you would like one or if you would rather have something else | |
| I will be glad to get Maddie to bring it to us. I take it like | |
| normal she did a good job and got you to the office and is now | |
| taking care of your son. She is wonderful with them. For her | |
| age and for the way she was when she first came to work here has | |
| for sure grown up and I trust her with my own 2 so know she will | |
| make him fall in love with her and if this does work she is a | |
| great baby sitter." | |

| Mark waited for Maddie to return | |
| He stood up and before she can continue interupted her with "hey | |
| foxy lady why don't you | |
| Keep those coins and show me where the real action is | |
| "I was talking about your hedge maxe? Care to give me a guided | |
| tour? I know your brochure said it's closed to this covid and | |
| figured best to go now before the new season starts | |

| Entering the office Luke was greeted a very attractive | |
| woman,introducing her self as the hotel manager. Taking her | |
| offered hand, he gave a slight bow. " My pleasure Mrs. Davis. | |
| Yes, that would be me. Luke McBain. Luke will do just fine." | |
| Giving the office a quick scan. "Neat. Organized. Functional. | |
| Gal is professional. organized, expects no less from her staff. | |
| If she is as smart and quick, as she is professional and | |
| organized. It will be smooth sailing for this hotel, the staff | |
| and the hotel guest." He thought. | |
| "Coffee, will be just fine. Thank you." Going to the coffee | |
| urn. "Would you like a cup as well Mrs. Davis." He poured two | |
| cup took them to the coffee table, then took a seat."Maddie? | |
| Nice girl. Very lovely. Suprisingly she showed a level of | |
| maturity and professionalism one would never expect from a | |
| person of her young age. You did well with that one. If she can | |
| deal with Mark.....thats my son....for the length of this | |
| interview. I might hire her full time." he said with a grin. | |
| Sitting back in his seat, feeling rather relaxed, his sipped his | |
| coffee. Waiting for the interview to start. | |
| Luke | |

| Taking the coffee for him as she grins a bit for the first time. | |
| One thing he employees and Mr. Stanley know is she does like to | |
| kid around at time and even when interviewing she uses it to see | |
| peoples reaction. | |
| " What are you doing here trying to butter me up bringing me a | |
| cup? You think you are going to steal Maddie from me you think I | |
| again I could not even think of running this place without her." | |
| As she takes a drink of the coffee and looks at the application. | |
| "Well Luke I see here that you do have experience in this | |
| business. I am in really in need of a experience matience man. | |
| But one thing that does bother me a bit and I am more then | |
| willing to listen to you. I see here that you have pretty well | |
| been at one place and are moving here. How can I be sure that | |
| you will decide you or your son tell you he does not like it and | |
| you move back? As i said before I do have 2 of my own and know | |
| how they do not like lots of change and move is hard on them." | |
