Chapter Three:

Four days, after some comfortable but even uncomfortable nights at Inns, they finally reached Sioux City, Iowa.
They checked in at a very nice, little Inn, and Rory had the impression that they where the only guests.

The next day, at night, the Town Hall meeting was going to take place.
Rory prepared herself pretty well for it, but Jane told her that her preparations were much more than pretty well and that she felt like an idiot next to her.
But both were excited to meet Barack Obama the first time in their lifes, maybe they wouldn’t get the chance to talk to him, but to follow his speech and make observations and talk to the citizens who are going to attend the meeting, was exciting enough.
There would be an enormouse amount of reporters, but Rory wasn’t scared, just excited, this was all new to her, and she liked it.
Jane indeed, seemed to be a little more scared than excited, but Rory was able to calm her down, there was no need to worry.

At eight p.m. the meeting began, and Rory and Jane took their seats, next to some other reporters from Boston, like their seat reservations told them.
,,Hey, girls, My name’s Josh, I’m here for the Boston Herald, but actually I don’t know if I want to be here, and I’m condemned to follow this guy, Barack for the following next weeks, only to get some infos for the Boston Herald, cause’ the Boston Herald always wants to have infos others don’t have, so we are the only reporters from a daily news paper who constantly follow Barack, thank God, I’m not alone and my three colleagues are with me.’’ He pointed at the other reporters from Boston.
Josh, who was sitting next to Jane, seemed friendly, but neither Rory nor Jane were specially interested in him. They told him, that they were here for the Barack Obama campaign trail, and Josh was clearly impressed.
They weren’t able to add their names, cause’ resounding applause started, which announced Barack’s arrival.

After the meeting, Rory, Jane and the other campaign members started to ask the citizens about their feelings for Barack Obama and his speech, and if there are any questions, they might pass to Obama.
Rory enjoyed that and asked more than fifty people, who all tend to like Obama. After a while, Josh, the reporter from Boston, appeared and wanted to know how it goes for her.
,,Good, I think Sioux City really likes Obama.’’
,,Right, any informations you want to give to me?’’
,,What???’’
,,Just wanted to know, you know, it’s hard for me to get some info’s about the whole meeting and the people here, but you and your collegues seem to have no problems with that so I thought you might hand out some info’s, for me.’’
,,Come on, are you serious? What a stupid idea to think I would give out any information.’’
,,Right, but there’s no harm in asking.’’
,,Yeah…’’
Rory went on, just to leave stupid Josh behind. No good reporter would asked another for information, maybe he’s just pretty lazy.

After the whole meeting and public opinion asking, the campaign members met at the Inn’s little meeting room, to hand out their informations and later to write their reviews for the official internet site of the campaign.

Then, it was nearly one a.m., they all got some snacks at the dining room.
Rory who didn’t forget her impression of being the only guests, was set right, Jane, her, the campaign members and their chief, were not the only guests at the Inn.
At the dining room, four people were already eating snacks.
It were Josh and his collegues.
