As he cautiously passed through the Hotel back he heard some people around. He was avoiding to be seen at all costs. That’s why he should be in the mountains by the day.
“I need a map… but I cannot go to the hotel” he said. He remembered the gas station at the end of the road. He would get a map there, since that was where he brought his first one. He hopped towards the road, side by side with the resort on the other side of the fence.
He reached the road and saw the gas station but he couldn’t just enter there normally. He was wearing a wifebeater and white boxer briefs. He needed clothes.
He leapt inside the bushes and went through the vegetation. Near the gas station there was a beach with a love point. He saw just what he wanted - an old rusty car, parked with movement inside. Someone was having a funnier evening. The car door was opened and it was his lucky moment. There were two bodies lying on the back seats. Marty got a bit closer and flicked his tongue catching a hood sweater, thanks to the goo in his tongue. He flickered again and this time he caught a pair of jeans.
“What…” he heard a male voice exclaim. He grabbed the clothes and hopped into the bush.
There he was again facing the store. He put on the hood and the jeans. The road was empty so he expected no one to come and pump the gas. He would walk in there as fast as he could, grab the map and get out running before even a scream.
He did so. He hopped on the road and stood up when he was nearby. His feet sounded like flip-fops walking around. He curved his back and put on the hood to cover his face. His hands were inside the sweater pockets. He walked in.
There was a woman swiping the floor, and a man behind the counter. The maps where near it, Marty got in and walked towards them mechanically, he looked at them and saw the one he had already picked, he was going to take it out when the woman’s scream made his spin shiver.
“Dios mio, pies de rana! Es un demonio!”
She was creaming and mumbling in Spanish. Scared too Marty’s response was to shoot his tongue and fill the woman’s face with goo and shut her up. The man came out of the counter running towards him, he squatted and leapt towards the door with the map in his mouth. He got out of the door and leapt as fast as possible back to the woods.
