July 13 'Huge interest' in Booth's hotels

The bodies started to pour out the Hotel at midnight but as the only building in the mountain foothills it was easy for  Pops Booth to dispose of one or two. The phone lines weren't working and he would ride into town in the morning, that's what he told himself. After the fourth unexplained death and with the sun beginning to rise a more drastic plan needed to be taken. then the two in the Jacuzzi want down, followed by four in various bathrooms five minutes later. Whispers started to spread amongst those still alive, an old boy jumped from the first floor and ran, he ran as fast and as far as he could.

A similar story was occurring the three other hotels in the Booth chain so it was inevitable Pops never made it to the town, word spread fast in those parts.
