There is a small hotel alongside the interstate just outside of town.
When I mean small I mean that it is one story tall, and has 2 dozen rooms in it.
The hotel has been closed for a couple of years, but recently some new investors bought it. They want to renovate the entire place, add on new rooms, and reopen it under a new name. I think it’s a smart plan, because the location is great, and the rooms just need a bit of a facelift. I have been hired by the new owners to clean all the ductwork and test the A/C units in each of the rooms. This is where my story begins, because what I found in one of those air ducts was fascinating. First of all, I noticed that this particular room was getting zero air flow even though it was connected to the same ductwork system. Although the air conditioning was very old and in disrepair it still worked, except for this one room. I removed the grate from the air vent, and immediately found the cause of the blockage. Someone had put a small leather satchel in the air duct, and from the looks of it they did it many years ago. It was clear that someone used the ductwork as a hiding spot, because the satchel was filled with cash and bags of old, dry marijuana. Once the ductwork was clear, the air flow resumed and the room started cooling off. To answer your next question, yes I kept the money and the weed.
