The asset still on his laptop hard at work was making a list of all the double bookings
He had been working so much it was ready to over heat and the battery was dying
He had collected each name and picture ID from everyone who was double booked
There's got to be much more to this
He thinks
He started wondering what the Asian woman's role was in all of this
The motel is owned by William Smithson
According to the city's records
So he started searching for xu Lee
Nothing
Then he tried Thung Lee
He still couldn't find any information
So he thought he would search through older Chinese articles
Hoping to find something on these people
After hours of searching he found Tang Liangli
It was the same man
He kept digging
It turns out Tang Liangli was a journalist who disappeared after becoming critical of the Chinese communist party
The information he received was that he was Indonesian born and his real name was Tubagus Pranata Tirtawidjaya
So why did he go by Tang Liangli and then Thung Lee
His interest had peeked
He kept digging until he came across a photo in an old article it looked like Xu Lee
The article had her listed as Xu L'ai
an actress
He was sure these were the same people
He started using a password cracker on every wifi within range
He was going to set up to monitor the traffic
He was hoping he'd be able to keep monitoring for a while
The motel was using outdated technology
But he was going to try to find out what he could anyway he could
He cracked three
It only took five minutes
He looks down and notices he has 1% battery life left
He jumps up and lunges for his bag
Fumbling around he finds the chord
He plugs it in
He opens up Wireshark
All of a sudden
The network disappeared
The power turns off
His laptop dies
then the power comes back on
All of his files were erased
Luckily he still had information saved to a USB
But he still screams out
Shit!
He snuck back out to the Asian woman's office
And broke in
He turned the computer on
It's a set up screen
Everything is gone
He grabs the picture of the couple
The phone rings
The asset holds his breath
An old answering machine is sitting behind a stack of papers
Beep
What do you think you are doing?
A familiar voice muffled by clutter
It's the owner
We had an agreement
You broke the agreement
I-I'm sorry
The muffled voice says
You will be
The asset runs out of there and back to room 1112
He starts grabbing his things when he hears another familiar voice
Pendejo!
I see you cabron!
Shit
The asset drops his exterminator uniform and leaves behind his backpack canister of poison
Still clinging to his bag with his laptop inside
He pushes past the big Latino man and runs for his life
Vuelve aqui
hijo de puta!
The Latino man takes off running after the asset
The asset looks back and sees this man is right on top of him and he smashes into a car
The Latino man grabs him and starts punching him
Ay!
What are you doing?
Julio! Ven ahora!
Three men come up and start beating the Latino man
He tries to fight back but they over power him and hold him down while one keeps kicking him
They're all yelling
But the asset is still dazed from being hit in the head
It's all muffled Spanish
He could only hear pieces of words
Put stúpid
Detene
va desaparec
cállate pu
cabrón
Finally he sees the big Latino man running away
He hears him yell
Volveré para todos ustedes con los Hermonos!
Julio yells back
La mafia de la calle 51 estará lista, esse!
Then walks over to the asset
Arre jou ok?
Y-yes I'm fine
Gracias
The asset pics up his stuff
We will see jou at work
Senior Salvador
They all wave and walk off
He didn't even recognize them in the dark
They must have been out celebrating
One of them had told him earlier in the day
that they were on the verge of shutting down
until he came
He just ruined the job for them
He was going to make up the difference of the cost after the motel finished paying the discounted price
Now he may have to pay for the entire thing
He had no idea what he was going to do
He made his way back to his car and just started driving
