Chapter 4
At first, he was freaked out, but then he started thinking of how he could keep it. Then he remembered that he had an old bird cage because he used to have a pet bird that died of disease so he kept the cage hoping to sell it one day.
The next day when Alberto came back to the hotel he brought along his old bird cage to put the dove in. When his father came in the room, he asked Alberto " Why do you 'ave a bird cage in da hotel?!" Alberto replied " I brought it for decoration because this hotel is so plain." His father replied"I guess that is ok."
After his dad left the room, he made his way to 313 on the third floor, the dove room (Alberto's nickname for the room), to get the loose dove. When Alberto opened the door he saw several doves diving at him to get out of the room. He quickly closed the door and heard a bunch of thumps. He opened the door again, this time much slower, and was amazed at what he saw. There were birds flying around everywhere and some had weird flying patterns like one wing moving really fast, or random jerking while in flight. As he walked into the room he heard a crunch from under his foot and felt a little lump on the sole of his foot, he was scared to look down to see what had happened but when he did, he saw a crumpled dove wing under his foot. He quickly backed off the bird and looked at the sheer amount of doves in the room, there were about 40 - 50 doves in the room and only about 20 still on the wallpaper. Alberto then realized that the wall opposite to the one with the wand in it had the most doves still on it. He exclaimed out loud " The wand!"
