Mountain Eagle and his group were staying at a motel in the small town, which in fact consisted of two three-story tubular buildings forming an L-shape around a courtyard with a pool.
The courtyard led to the motel's parking lot, with a gas station and convenience store nearby.
Opposite the motel there were no buildings, only a piece of weed-filled wasteland…
The water in the motel's swimming pool was filthy, with a few broken lounge chairs and several palm trees at the corner.
A few Central American women, showing off their corpulent bellies while smoking marijuana, were lying on the lounge chairs, drinking canned beer while watching some children playing in the pool.
A black woman in a waitress uniform was pushing a cart around the corridors, cursing loudly every time she entered a room.
Occasionally, people who hadn't gone out to find food would curse back at her, after which the waitress would naturally give up cleaning that room.
