Donald made Orva wear an oversized coat with high neck collar to cover herself, and he made her carry some of the bags they came with, most belonging to Mindy, a few for Donald and just one small duffle bag for Orva. She thought about running away but right now it will feel useless to that because the motel was in the middle of nowhere, only a few miles and a few screams at night could be her exodus, then what? Starve and become wild animal food?
So, instead of taking a sprint at the first instance of freedom, she chose to endure the mistreatment from Donald until the right opportunity kicks in and she won't hesitate to run.
Donald led them through the unattractive, dull lobby, and into the first hallway by the right. The lazy receptionist handling lodgings watched the three of them walked past her desk. There was nothing of interest going on in or outside the motel so she just stares creepily at customers having a room for the night.
