Inn Robbed
Story 3 – Exercise 5
The day started like any other for the North Point Inn's employees; small talk, doing paperwork. That all changed when a knife wielding man and his partner invaded the inn, killed a cook, and stole $130 in cash.
Nina Cortez was in the back room counting the receipts when one of the men came into her office with a knife and grabbed the handful of cash. She started screaming and locked her door, luckily, because one of the robbers came back to get the rest of the cash, but the police soon arrived after.
It wasn't until later that Nina came upon the body of one of the inn's cooks and her co-worker, Kevin Blohm, with a large knife wound in his chest and a smaller wound on his hand.
The man Nina saw take the handful of cash was described as around 5 foot 10 inches, medium build, and in his early 20's. She didn't get a good look at his face because he was wearing a floral scarf "cowboy style" over his mouth.
At print time the two men have yet to be apprehended, and all citizens should report any suspicious men who fit the description to the authorities.

Very inviting and creative lead. Good details as well. I wrote about the same story and included a lot of quotes, perhaps too many but would like to see a few more quotes in your story as it gives the story more life. Good work though.
