ìGo back to your room,î the American tour director ordered, shouting at the woman.
ìI canít get the door to open,î Theia protested, thrusting her key card at him in frustration.
The tour director hurriedly took the proffered card in sweaty hands and tried the lock, which didnít click. He jammed the key card into the slot again, to no avail.
A man opened the door and stuck his head out of the room. ìWhatís wrong? Is this some kind of a fire drill?î
ìItís no drill. Get back in your room and shelter in place until I give the all-clear. Donít open the door to anyone.î
The tour director returned Theiaís card. ìGet back in your room with your husband.î
ìThis is my room, but heís not my husband,î Theia insisted.
ìThere must be some kind of mistake,î the man in the room announced. ìThis is my room.î
The tour director grabbed the womanís key card again and examined the key holder. He shook his head, rolled his eyes, and looked at Theia like she was a recalcitrant child. ìYouíre on the wrong floor, miss. This is Room 515. Youíre in Room 415.î
ìIím sorry.î Theia blew out a breath and turned to leave. The tour director blocked her way.
ìExcuse me, but I need to get back to my room.î Tears of exhaustion pooled in her eyes. She wanted to scream.
ìIím afraid you canít go anywhere. Weíve disabled the elevators for your safety, and hotel security is blocking the stairs, for now.î He ushered her into Room 515 and pushed her into the arms of the man standing at the door.
