The Nightlight Inn 2

 The Soap Suds It Up


After Karen had checked into her room. 

Ten minutes later. That's all it took. Ten measly minutes before the front desk phone starts ringing off the hook.


Peach-colored-Soap

Amy at the front desk picks up, probably thinking it's gonna be another "How do I work the remote to this smart TV?" call.


"Front desk, this is Amy. How can I help you?" she says. 


On the other line is Hurricane Karen, and she blowing in hot: "Yes, Amy, is it? You checked me into a room with NO SOAP. Now, how am I going to take a bath or wash my hands with no soap? This is ridiculous! What kind of hotel is this?"


I swear you could hear Amy's eyes roll through the phone. She's probably thinking, "Lady, you almost turned our maintenance guys into pancakes, and you're worried about soap?"


But being the professional she is, Amy keeps it cool. "I will get a housekeeper to bring you some soap, ma'am."


So, here comes Yessica the housekeeper, walking down the hallway with a bag full of soap like she's stocking up for the apocalypse. She's muttering under her breath in Spanish, probably cursing Karen’s dad for hooking up with her mother. 


Yessica knocks on the door, bringing her enough soap to bathe a small village. But hold on! There’s a twists!


As soon as she steps in the room, her eyes zero in on a soap wrapper on the floor and as she continues and looks their soap in the bathroom. 


Yessica does this thing where it's like, "I don’t speak English." She pulls out her phone and takes a picture of the soap wrapper, and marches her tired self straight to the manager's office.


Meanwhile, Karen, oblivious to the soap scandal she's created, decides it's time for her lunch expedition. But first, a photo shoot! 'Cause nothing says "I'm a sophisticated traveler" like snapping pictures of every dusty corner and smudged mirror on her to the lobby. 


She's out in the hallway, phone in hand, looking like she's documenting evidence for a crime scene. "Oh! This place is just filthy!"Her voice echoing down the hall like a mouse caught on sticky trap.


Just then, the manager comes speed-walking down the hall. 


Hotel manager: Yes ma’am I’m the hotel manager how may I assist you? 


Karen: You sure can help me by cleaning this place dust and paper everywhere. I’m going out to lunch I seen enough carry on. 


Hotel manager: Okay ma’am you have a good afternoon. Would you like my recommendation on some good eating places? 


Karen: The places that you recommended me I should visit are they cleaner than here? 


Hotel manager: Have a wonderful day ma’am. 


It’s looking like the manager is the star in this episode of "Hotel Karen: The Impossible Edition."


To be continued... 'cause you know this soap opera's about to get real messy! Will the manager call Karen out on her soap disappearance? Will Mike come up with a mysterious plan? And seriously, where is Tim during all this chaos? Stay tuned, folks – this hotel's about to make the Bates Motel look like a five-star resort!
