Place: Oslo, Norway
Grand Hotel
Room: 110
Time: 7:00 pm
Arina Davis sat on her bed, rubbing at her sore feet, happy that the day's activities were over for now. A well-known theologist and archeologist, she had been sought out for this convention as a speaker. A child prodigy that was born in the poor section of New Orleans, Arina was used to the envious side of her profession. She had few friends but valued them above all else. Slipping off her blazer, Arina tossed the hurtful heels in the corner of the room and stood to run the water for a nice, hot bath. All she wore now was a silk chemise and a black pencil skirt, her long dark hair pinned securely into a french twist.
As she sat down on the side of the large tub, Arina thought of a comment her old mentor had once told her. 'Life is what happens when you're making plans. Don't let work become your life. Live it to the fullest. Benjamin Goss had been like a father to her. The thought of his memory still made her misty-eyed. It had been three years since his funeral. Deep down Arina wondered if he was looking down on her, disappointed that she hadn't taken his advice. Men had always made her feel awkward and shy. Outside of work, she rarely had any contact with them. The last boyfriend she had turned out to be gay. Not exactly an ego booster for a girl.
Arina let the steamy water fill the tub until it was full. Her hands went to the chemise she wore but froze when she heard a noise. "Is someone there?" Fear shook at her brain but she didn't panic. Arina walked back out the door of the bathroom to find a man lying on the floor of her room. It looked like he had come through the window. Instincts overcame common sense. Arina went to his side, kneeling down next to him on the carpeted floor. "What happened to you?" She asked to herself. It took some effort but she slowly turned him over and was greeted with a handsome face that had been bruised badly.
There was a bow strapped to his back and he was groaning in pain. Someone banged on the door. "Miss?! Is everything alright? I thought I heard a noise." It was the concierge. For a short period of time, Arina felt at war with herself about whether or not she should say something. In this condition, whoever he was, he was helpless to defend himself. "No! Everything is fine. Just stumbled." Arina held her breath until she heard the exiting footsteps of the concierge. She looked down at her intruder. "I guess I'm taking my chances with you." Somehow she managed to get him onto the bed and out of the black gear he had on. She examined him closely and found out why he was so dazed. Someone had gotten one hell of a blow to his head. Arina would have to check him for a concussion. She carefully cradled his head in her lap as she bathed away some of the blood so she could see better. "You need to wake up. I think you may be concussed."
