ANY SUPPORT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED THANK YOU!

                                                                                     CHAPTER FIVE

WE WERE WORKING HARD TO GET A HEAD OF THINGS AND WE FINALLY SAW DAYLIGHT AT THE END OF THE LONG DARK TUNNEL. ALL THE TRASH WAS REMOVED. THE LAWN WAS LOOKING GOOD WITH HELP FROM MY LITTLE WEED EATER. THE PUTTING GREEN LOOKED GOOD. I PICKED UP A FEW PUTTERS AT THE LOCAL THRIFT STORE FOR THE KIDS STAYING AT THE MOTEL, ALONG WITH SOME PLASTIC GOLF BALLS AND THEY LOVED IT! ALL OF THE TRASH HAD BEEN PICKED UP AROUND THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. THE DUMPSTER AREA STILL NEEDED A MAJOR OVERHAUL AND THE CENTER COURT YARD HAD PILES UPON PILES OF LEAVES. BUT WE WERE EXCITED, WE WERE ALMOST CAUGHT UP WITH OUR GOALS. 

THE ENTIRE POOL AREA WAS AS IT SHOULD BE. THE POOL WAS VERY PRISTINE AND ALL THE CHEMICALS WERE PROPERLY BALANCED AND REMAINED THAT WAY WITH PROPER CARE! 

RHONDA AND I PURCHASED SOME RIVER ROCK TO FILL IN SOME GAPS AROUND THE POOL'S PATIO AREA. WE DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO SPEND ANY MONEY ON A POOL THAT DIDN'T BELONG TO US, HOWEVER IT NEEDED TO BE DONE SO I COULD FINISH TAKING PICTURES OF THE WHOLE POOL PROJECT. THE POOL AREA WAS LOOKING FANTASTIC AND VERY INVITING! SINCE THE SWIMMING POOL WAS LOCATED AT THE FRONT OF THE MOTEL NEAR THE ENTRANCE, IT WAS ESSENTIAL TO HAVE IT ALL LOOKING AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE. THE POOLS WATER WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR AND HAD A SPARKLE TO IT! THE BUDGET INN NO LONGER LOOKED LIKE A DUMP AS IT LOOKED WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED!

SOME OF THE INTENSE LABOR WAS BEGINNING TO LET UP A BIT. I BEGAN TO REVISIT THE QUESTIONS OF WHAT HAPPENED TO BRENDA. WHY DOESN'T THIS MOTEL HAVE A COMPUTER, A TELEPHONE, A CASH REGISTER  OR A CREDIT CARD MACHINE? THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE A SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEM OF ANY KIND! WHY DOES FRANK SIT AT THE FRONT OF THE MOTEL EVERY DAY AND LOOK AROUND LIKE A WATCHDOG! WHY DIDN'T FAROOQ AND SUNNY SEEM TO CARE ABOUT WHAT GOES ON AT THIS PROPERTY. ANOTHER PUZZLING ASPECT TO ALL OF THE WAS THAT WE HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO KEEP THE CASH DEPOSITS IN OUR ROOM INSTEAD OF HAVING A SAFE IN THE OFFICE!

RHONDA AND I BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH A COUPLE VERY LONG TIME RESIDENTS, RAM SETH PEREZ AND STEPHANIE ALBERAN. EACH OF THEM HAD THEIR OWN ROOM SIDE BY SIDE AT THE BACK OF THE BUILDING NEAR FRANK'S ROOM. THEY HAD FOUR VERY YOUNG CHILDREN LIVING WITH THEM. THEY TOLD US THEY HAD BEEN LIVING THERE FOR FOUR YEARS! RAM HAD A LONG GOATEE AND HIS APPEARANCE REMINDED ME OF DESCRIPTIONS OF RAMSEY, THE PHARAOH THAT LIVED 1200 YEARS B.C.

RAM AND STEPHANIE SEEMED NICE AND SOMEWHAT SOCIABLE. RAM TOLD ME HE DETAILED CARS AND MADE HIS OWN CARNAUBA WAX, HE MENTIONED HE HAD KNOWLEDGE IN CHEMISTRY! I WAS AWARE HE WAS SELLING DRUGS ON THE PROPERTY. I TOLD HIM HE SHOULD STOP BEFORE SOMEONE REPORTED HIM TO THE POLICE. HE SAID THAT WAS NO WORRY TO HIM BECAUSE THEY HAD SPECIAL CONNECTIONS WITH DEPUTIES AT THE SHERIFF'S STATION. STEPHANIE LIKED TO GET SCANTILY DRESSED AND WALKED AROUND THE MOTEL, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE MEXICAN HARVEST CREW AT NIGHT. OCCASIONALLY, RHONDA AND I DISCOVERED SOME OF THE NON RENTABLE ROOMS HAD BEEN USED BY SOMEONE AND DISGUSTING EVIDENCE WAS LEFT BEHIND! THERE WERE LOCK ISSUES ON SOME OF THE DOORS THAT PROVIDED EASY ACCESS TO PARTICULAR ROOMS. THIS MADE NO SENSE BECAUSE EFFORT HAD BEEN MADE TO INSTALL SPECIAL LOCKS ON BRENDA'S DOOR. I BROUGHT THESE ISSUES TO FAROOQ'S ATTENTION , HE INSTRUCTED ME NOT TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT UNLESS I CAUGHT SOMEONE VANDALIZING SOMETHING. MY THINKING WAS WHY NOT SECURE ALL THE ROOMS.

WE WERE BECOMING MORE ACQUAINTED WITH THE GUEST RESIDENTS. WE WERE COOKING HOMEMADE MEALS FOR PEOPLE AND WE WERE HAPPY AS WE WERE GETTING INTO THE TYPE OF POSITION WE REALLY ENJOYED. WE LOVED HELPING OUR GUESTS. ALLISON, ONE OF THE GUESTS, WAS REALLY NICE AND LIVING AT THE MOTEL WITH HER TWELVE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SHE HAD BECOME FRIENDS WITH RHONDA, I COULD TELL RHONDA CARED ABOUT THE TWO OF THEM AND TRIED TO HELP THEM ANYWAY SHE COULD. WE BELIEVE IN BEING DOERS, NOT JUST HEARERS AND TALKERS ONLY!

ADAM GREEN WAS LIVING AT THE MOTEL WITH HIS MOM WHO WORKED AT THE WALMART DISTRIBUTION CENTER! THEY WERE BOTH REALLY NICE PEOPLE WHO FELL ON HARD TIMES, LIKE MOST OF THE GUEST RESIDENTS. THAT WAS WHY RHONDA AND I ALWAYS TRY TO BE A LIGHT IN A DARK PLACE . SOMETIMES PEOPLE REALLY NEED A GLIMMER OF HOPE! IT BROUGHT US COMFORT TO BRING COMFORT TO THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING! IT'S A MOST GRATIFYING EXPERIENCE TO SHOW PEOPLE WHO ARE DOWN, THEY DO MATTER AND THEY ARE IMPORTANT AND SOMEONE ELSE DOES CARE. RHONDA AND I DIDN'T GIVE LIP SERVICE, WE LIVE BY EXAMPLE! WE KEPT FEEDING FRANK MEALS AND OF COURSE BISCUITS AND SAUSAGE GRAVY. WE WERE PRETTY SURE HE GAVE SOME OF HIS MEALS TO HIS DOG. BUT THAT WAS OK. WE WERE NOT PARTICULARLY FOND OF FRANK'S BEHAVIOR! BUT, WE DO OUR BEST TO LOVE THE UNLOVABLE AND BE NICE TO THOSE WHO DO US WRONG!

ADAM GREEN HAD TOLD ME SOME DISTURBING THINGS THAT WERE OCCURRING BETWEEN HIM AND RAM PEREZ! HE SAID RAM TOLD HIM HE WAS DOUBLE DUSTING HIM AND POISONING HIM AND CAUSING ADAM TO BECOME IMPOTENT. ADAM CLAIMED HE WAS FEELING DRUGGED OR SOMETHING, HE FELT PASTY, HE SAID HE HEARD MUSIC AND HE COULDN'T GET IT TO STOP. I ASKED HIM. WHY HE DIDN'T  GO TO THE SHERIFF'S STATION AND REPORT THIS? ADAM INFORMED ME, THIS HAD BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE AND SAID HE HAD BEEN TO THE SHERIFF'S STATION THREE TIMES AND REPORTED WHAT RAM HAD BEEN DOING TO HIM AND THAT RAM HAD BEEN THREATENING HIM!  EACH TIME THE DEPUTY OR DEPUTIES REFUSED AND NEGLECTED TO TAKE HIS STATEMENT. THEY REFUSED TO FOLLOW UP ON HIS COMPLAINTS ABOUT RAM. HE WAS INSTRUCTED TO FORGET ABOUT IT AND GO HOME.

I SAID ADAM YOU NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL AND GET CHECKED OUT! HE TOLD ME HE'D BEEN THERE, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG! MY SUGGESTION TO ADAM WAS, AVOID RAM PEREZ. HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BE POISONING YOU ANYWAY, I INQUIRED? ADAM SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW BUT HE'D LIKE TO FIND OUT. I SAID STAY AWAY FROM RAM, YOU TWO APPARENTLY DON'T GET ALONG! THAT'S THE ONLY ADVICE I COULD GIVE HIM AT THAT POINT! I HAD A DIFFICULT TIME BELIEVING ADAM'S STORY, BUT I DID GIVE HIM THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT. I KNEW SOMETHING WASN'T QUITE RIGHT. NO ONE GOES TO THE SHERIFF'S STATION WITH A MADE UP STORY LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY THREE TIMES. WHAT WOULD BE THE BENEFIT? THERE ISN'T A BENEFIT TO IT FROM ANY ANGLE UNLESS IT'S TRUE.
I REMEMBERED RAM TOLD ME HAD KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE IN CHEMISTRY.

PEOPLE SPEAK OF OPENING A CAN OF WORMS. WELL, I AM ABOUT TO DO JUST THAT.
IN ACTUAL FACT, I OPENED PANDORA'S BOX!


                                                                                     CHAPTER SIX

RHONDA AND I WERE VERY PLEASED AT THE PROGRESS WE WERE MAKING!
THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS MOTEL OPERATION WERE VERY UNUSUAL AND IT WAS APPARENT TO US, THIS WASN'T YOUR NORMAL WORK ENVIRONMENT! WITH HER OFFICE SKILLS AND WORK ETHIC RHONDA HAD PRETTY MUCH MASTERED HER RESPONSIBILITIES. THE OFFICE WAS IN TIP TOP SHAPE, SHE HAD ALREADY REORGANIZED THE LAUNDRY OPERATION TO MAKE IT FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND HER HOUSEKEEPING STANDARDS WERE EXCELLENT AS USUAL! FORTUNATELY SHE HAD A PART TIME HOUSEKEEPER ON CALL WHENEVER SHE NEEDED IT.  THIS WAS FAIRLY EFFICIENT CONSIDERING THE WORK ENVIRONMENT AND RHONDA MADE HER JOB AS REASONABLE AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE HER WORK HOURS WERE SPORADIC! WE BOTH APPRECIATED HOLLY'S DEDICATION, HARD WORK AND FLEXIBILITY!

WE ADDED A SMALL REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER TO THE FRONT OFFICE AND FILLED IT WITH BOTTLED WATER AND FREEZIE POPS FOR THE KIDS. WE GAVE WATER TO ANYONE WHO WAS THIRSTY! MOST OF THE GUEST RESIDENTS WERE AT A LOW POINT IN THEIR LIVES AND WE WERE DETERMINED TO MAKE IT AS A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE A POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY WHERE THE KIDS WERE CONCERNED! AT LEAST NOW THE KIDS COULD PLAY MINI PUTT PUTT GOLF, GO SWIMMING AND THE COULD HAVE A COUPLE FREEZIE POPS ON OCCASION.

I SPOKE WITH RHONDA ABOUT MY UNUSUAL VISIT WITH ADAM GREEN, SHE RESPONDED, ALTHOUGH STRANGE, IT MAY HAVE TRUTH TO IT. REFERRING TO RAM PEREZ, SHE COMMENTED, WHAT KIND OF A MAN WOULD FATHER FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN WHILE LIVING AT THIS MOTEL FOR FOUR YEARS, HE ALLOWED THEIR MOM TO WALK AROUND AT NIGHT DRESSED SO ENTICINGLY? WHAT KIND OF MOM DOES THAT WHILE BEING A MOM TO FOUR SMALL CHILDREN? WE KNEW WHAT SHE HAD BEEN DOING! IT DIDN'T REFLECT WELL ON HER CHARACTER. RHONDA MENTIONED PERHAPS ADAM GREEN KNEW INFORMATION THAT RAM DIDN'T WANT ANYONE TO KNOW ABOUT. IN RESPONSE TO THAT I TOLD HER, WHEN I WOULD GET A CHANCE I WOULD SEE IF ADAM WANTS TO VOLUNTEER ANY MORE INFORMATION. 

BEING CURIOUS I ASKED RHONDA HOW MUCH DOES RAM AND STEPHANIE PAY FOR THEIR ROOMS ON A WEEKLY BASIS. RHONDA'S ANSWER ASTOUNDED ME! THEY EACH PAY TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS PER WEEK, THE SAME AS ALL OF THE OTHER GUESTS! I SAID YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THIS FAMILY PAYS TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS EACH MONTH TO STAY HERE. STEPHANIE DOESN'T HAVE A JOB AND RAM DETAILS CARS PART TIME. HOW COULD THEY AFFORD TO STAY HERE? THAT IS ENOUGH RENT MONEY FOR A VERY NICE HOUSE IN A DECENT, SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD! RHONDA REPLIED, JIM, I DON'T KNOW! ON OCCASION STEPHANIE'S GRANDPARENTS PARENTS WILL HELP HER IF SHE COMES UP SHORT ON RENT! BUT BOTH GRANDPARENTS HAVE INDICATED THEY ARE NOT FOND OF THE ARRANGEMENT WITH THEIR GRAND DAUGHTER BEING AT THE MOTEL, ESPECIALLY WITH THEIR FOUR SMALL GRANDCHILDREN. 

WHILE VISITING WITH RHONDA IN THE MOTEL OFFICE, I ASKED HER WHAT IS UP WITH THE FAKE LOOKING LITTLE SECURITY CAMERA ON TOP OF THE COPIER? IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SD CARD. SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T KNOW, IT DIDN'T WORK. THIS IS A BIZARRE SITUATION WE WERE DEALING WITH. I SAID MANY THINGS DIDN'T AD UP! HOW COME WE HAVE WORKED SO HARD AND PUT OUR HEART AND SOUL INTO THIS PLACE AND THE BHADELIA'S WERE OBLIVIOUS TO THE IMPROVEMENT OF THEIR BUSINESS? THEY REALLY DON'T CARE DO THEY? RHONDA SAID I DON'T THINK THEY CARE OR EVEN PAY ATTENTION. THEY COULD CARE LESS WHAT WE'VE DONE OR WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE!

RHONDA SAID SHE HAD TO EVICT SOME NON PAYING GUESTS AND SHE DIDN'T LIKE DOING IT. FAROOQ TOLD HER NEVER INVOLVE THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ABOUT ANYTHING, IT WAS TO EXPENSIVE FOR HIM!  WELL, THESE GUESTS WERE REFUSING TO LEAVE AND GAVE RHONDA A HARD TIME ABOUT IT, SO FRANK FINALLY CALLED THE DAVENPORT SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT AND HAD THE PEOPLE EVICTED! FAROOQ DROVE OVER FROM TAMPA RIGHT AWAY AND CAME DOWN HARD ON RHONDA AND SAID.  WELL, YOU KNOW, I HAVE TOLD YOU TO KEEP THE DEPUTIES OUT OF HERE, THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME AND I DON'T LIKE THAT! RHONDA REPLIED, FRANK CALLED THE DEPUTIES SHE DIDN'T! FAROOQ SAID, AGAIN, HE DIDN'T WANT THOSE DEPUTIES COMING OUT! I DIDN'T CALL THE DEPUTIES, SHE PROCLAIMED WITH A MORE STERN VOICE THIS TIME, SHE SAID I TOLD YOU FRANK DID IT!  FAROOQ RESPONDED, GET FRANK IN THE OFFICE. FRANK CAME IN AND FAROOQ VERBALLY SLAMMED HIM IF FRONT OF BOTH OF US, HE SAID ANGRILY, YOU KNOW BETTER THAN TO CALL THOSE DEPUTIES! FRANK SAID I DIDN'T SEE ANY CHOICE, THE PEOPLE WOULDN'T LEAVE BOSS! FAROOQ'S FINAL COMMENT TO US WAS, DON'T ANY OF YOU CALL THOSE DEPUTIES! HE DROVE AWAY ANGRY!

A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, WHILE WE WERE IN THE OFFICE, I HAD A SERIOUS VISIT WITH RHONDA. WE TALKED ABOUT THE MOTEL AND HOW IT WAS BEING OPERATED, WE SHARED GENERAL CONCERNS WITH EACH OTHER. I MADE A COMMENT THAT NO ONE RUNS A MOTEL THIS SIZE WITHOUT A COMPUTER, A TELEPHONE OR A CASH REGISTER OR EVEN SECURITY CAMERAS.  SOMETHING WAS VERY WRONG ABOUT THIS MOTEL OPERATION! I SAID, FRANK IS THEIR REMOTE CAMERA ISN'T HE? RHONDA SAID I GUESS SO, I SAID APPARENTLY SO, IT'S EVIDENT, HOW ELSE WOULD SUNNY HAVE KNOWN TO COME GET BRENDA'S BELONGINGS AND HER CAR WHILE WE WERE GONE THAT PARTICULAR DAY. ALSO, WHY WAS WHITE POWDER SPREAD ALL OVER EVERYTHING IN BRENDA'S ROOM? HER BATHROOM AND ALL OF THE FURNITURE WERE COVERED IN WHITE POWDER. WHY DO WE HAVE TO KEEP CASH DEPOSITS IN OUR ROOM AND NOT IN A SAFE IN THE OFFICE?

I MADE A PROFOUND STATEMENT TO RHONDA WHILE IN THE MOTEL OFFICE, "IF I FIND OUT THESE PEOPLE ARE MONEY LAUNDERING OVER SEAS AND FUNDING ANY TYPE OF TERRORISM, AND HURTING AMERICANS, CHRISTIANS OR JEWS, I WOULD NOTIFY THE FBI AND HAVE THEM COME IN AND RIP THIS ORGANIZATION UP FROM IT'S ROOTS"!

BEING CURIOUS I DID SOME RESEARCH ON MOHAMMAD FAROOQ BHADELIA, AND WAS PRETTY ASTONISHED AT WHAT I FOUND OUT! HE WAS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF TAMPA'S WORST SLUMLORDS! I READ A FEW NEWSPAPER ARTICLES. THERE WERE REFERENCES TO OTHER MOTELS THE BHADELIA BROTHERS OWN IN TAMPA. ACCORDING TO SOME QUICK INFORMATION I GATHERED, TAMPA'S MAYOR BOB BUCKHORN WAS DISGUSTED WITH THESE PARTICULAR MOTELS, THERE WAS CONSIDERATION FOR FILING CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST MOHAMMED FAROOQ BHADELIA  FOR NUMEROUS HEALTH CODE AND FIRE CODE VIOLATIONS. FAROOQ WAS UNWILLING TO COOPERATE AND CORRECT THE VIOLATIONS, HE WAS IN NON COMPLIANCE REGARDING SEVERAL VIOLATIONS FOR A LONG TIME. IT WAS VERY APPARENT HE WAS TRYING TO PLAY THE STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AS FOOLS!


FAROOQ HAD INSTRUCTED US TO SHOW ONLY CERTAIN ROOMS TO THE HEALTH INSPECTOR! HE TOLD US, KEEP THEM AVAILABLE SHOULD THE HEALTH INSPECTOR STOP BY FOR AN INSPECTION! BY MY OBSERVATION, THIS ORGANIZATION WAS WORKING ON PORTRAYING SMOKE AND MIRRORS! SMOKE AND MIRRORS MEANING, OBSCURING OR EMBELLISHING OF A TRUE SITUATION WITH MISLEADING OR IRRELEVANT INFORMATION, IN ESSENCE THIS BUDGET MOTEL IS AN EXERCISE OF SMOKE AND MIRRORS! IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT THIS MOTEL IS NAMED THE BUDGET INN DAVENPORT AND THE BHADELIA'S OTHER LARGEST MOTEL IS NAMED THE BUDGET INN ALSO! PERHAPS THIS IS A NAME CHOSEN ON PURPOSE TO LIE LOW. PERHAPS THERE WAS A CORRELATION HERE! THIS IS CLEARLY SMOKE AND MIRRORS, SEEMINGLY UNDETECTABLE, UNDER RADAR!

MARY, ONE OF OUR LONG TERM VALUED GUESTS WAS SHORT ON HER RENT. HER EX HUSBAND STOPPED IN THE OFFICE TO PAY ON HER BEHALF. FAROOQ WAS PRESENT WHEN HE STOPPED BY. HE ASKED FAROOQ DIRECTLY, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH ALL THE CASH FROM HERE? FAROOQ SAID, WE SEND ALL OF THE MONEY OVERSEAS! BOTH RHONDA AND I LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND WE BOTH KNEW WERE THINKING THE SAME THING. WAY TO CONFIRM WHAT WE WERE JUST THINKING. I WONDERED HOW MUCH UNCLE SAM GETS, SINCE EVERY TRANSACTION IS CASH WITH A PAPER RECEIPT! MAYBE THAT WAS WHY THEY WOULD PREFER SUCH A DUMPY LOOK. OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND! THE BHADELIA'S DIDN'T ANTICIPATE WE WOULD CLEAN THIS PLACE UP SO WELL!

RHONDA AND I HAD ANOTHER VISIT TOGETHER, WHILE TAKING CARE OF A FEW THINGS IN THE OFFICE, WE DISCUSSED ALL THE MYSTERY SURROUNDING THE MOTEL AND WE WERE CURIOUS ABOUT BRENDA'S UNUSUAL DISAPPEARANCE AS WELL. 

I MADE MY PROFOUND STATEMENT AGAIN! ONLY THIS TIME I STATED, WE KNOW THESE PEOPLE ARE SENDING ALL THE MONEY OVERSEAS, WE KNOW THEY ARE THEY ARE BASED ON FAROOQ'S COMMENT TO THIS MARY'S EX HUSBAND, HE IS A WITNESS TO FAROOQ SAYING THEY ARE SENDING ALL THE MONEY OVERSEAS! I TOLD RHONDA I WOULD BE WATCHING AND LISTENING. IF I FIND OUT THEY ARE HURTING AMERICANS. CHRISTIANS OR JEWS I WILL HAVE THE FBI RIP THEM UP FROM THE ROOTS.

A COUPLE OF WEEKS HAD GONE BY AND BUSINESS WAS RUNNING SMOOTHLY. FAROOQ SHOWED UP DURING THE DAY AND CALLED BOTH RHONDA AND I INTO THE OFFICE AND SAID I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO SOMEONE!

THIS IS SARAH MICHELLE GALLEGOS, SHE IS OUR MOTEL LIAISON FOR OUR MOTEL PROPERTIES. FAROOQ STATED, AND I STARTED LAUGHING ON THE INSIDE. OH REALLY I WAS THINKING! FOR WHAT? HE EXPLAINED SHE WOULD BE STAYING HERE FOR A WHILE AND HELPING OUT. SHE WAS ABOUT FIVE FOOT TEN INCHES TALL, WITH A DARKER COMPLEXION AND WAS WEARING MIDDLE EASTERN APPAREL CALLED SALWAR KAMEEZ WHICH IS THE NATIONAL DRESS OF PAKISTAN. IT IS A VERY LONG GARMENT THAT HANGS TO THE GROUND AND SOME HAVE EMBROIDERED PATTERNS. SARAH MICHELLE, AS SHE PREFERED TO BE ADDRESSED, WAS ALSO WEARING SOME TYPE OF PESHAWARI CHAPPAL SANDALS. APPARENTLY SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY AMERICAN WORK CLOTHES. SHE REMAINED DRESSED THAT WAY DURING HER ENTIRE STAY! SHE TOLD RHONDA HER DAD WAS BLACK AND HER MOM WAS WHITE. WE DON'T KNOW WHY SHE FELT COMPELLED TO SHARE THAT, IT DOESN'T MATTER TO US. ARE YOU HERE TO WORK? THAT IS THE QUESTION! SARAH MICHELLE DELIBERATELY STARTED GETTING OFF ON THE WRONG FOOT WITH RHONDA! IT WAS EVIDENT TO ME RIGHT AWAY, SARAH WAS HERE ON PURPOSE TO RUFFLE RHONDA'S FEATHERS! BUT WHY?

WHO IS SARAH MICHELLE GALLEGOS? WHY IS SHE REALLY HERE? WHERE DID SHE COME FROM? NO ONE DRESSES IN SALWAR KAMEEZ TO DO THIS TYPE OF DIRTY HARD WORK!  
FAROOQ DOESN'T EMPLOY A MOTEL LIAISON! THEY DON'T SPEND MONEY ON ANYTHING AND ALL OF THEIR MOTELS ARE RAT INFESTED ROACH MOTELS! THIS DIDN'T ADD UP AT ALL.

IN SHORT ORDER WE FOUND OUT WHY SARAH MICHELLE WAS AT THE MOTEL AND WHAT SHE TELLS FRANK THAT MAKES THEM BOTH SO DANGEROUS TO US!


INHERENTLY, THE RESULTS OF MY PROFOUND STATEMENTS WILL PROVE TO HAVE VERY DEEP GRIEVOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR RHONDA, MYSELF AND BUGSY!  


RHONDA AND I FIND OUT, NOT ONLY DOES FRANK KEEP WATCHING, BUT THE WALLS WE'RE LISTENING AND SARAH  MICHELLE ORDERS FRANK TO DO THE UNTHINKABLE!

POLK COUNTY DAVENPORT FLORIDA TERRORIST INCIDENT!
