"Hey, what's your problem right now?" Brandon caught up with Ryan as the two, along with Sean, got out of the jeep.
"Nothing." Ryan rolled her eyes.
"Then why'd you completely storm out of the kitchen and ignore me the whole ride over here?" he pointed out, walking close by her as Sean took the lead.
"Don't know. Guess I just didn't want to listen to you be a gross flirt any longer then what I had to." she said back with an eye roll.
"I wasn't flirting, I was messing with her." Brandon defended himself, trying to get Ryan to look his way. "Are you seriously mad?"
"I'm not mad." she argued, walking before him some more to take the lead. A few skate boys were inside the Grotto as they walked in. "Hey, come here to me."
The three boys walked over. Brandon nodded. "Any of skate bitches know who Lance Broadly is?"
"Yeah, he's like a wizard or some shit." one of the boys said back with a smile.
"Ooh, a wizard." Brandon rocked on his heels.
"He is, man." another boy agreed. "He can get you anything you want. Any girls, any drugs, any gun, anything."
Ryan's eyes fell on two people with mask near the left corner, elbowing Brandon as he followed her gaze, his hand locked in hers. "Do you know where we can find him?"
"Yeah, i'll show you." the boy nodded, walking off. Ryan looked back to the masked duo, going to let go of Brandon's hand before he tightened his palm around it.
After arriving at the location the skate boys sent them to, they ran into Trevor and Rowan. "What are you doing here?"
"Some skate bitches told us that Lance Broadly works here." Brandon answered as they looked around at the room filled with dead animals all over the walls.
"What, stuffing dead animals?" Trevor looked around in disbelief.
"Did you expect any different?" Ryan asked, soaking wet from the rain as water puddles formed at her feet.
"Ah, shit just keeps getting weirder." Sean agreed.
"Okay, well, Trevor decoder a message from Mr.Empty on the missing connections site, asking Zoe to meet him here." Rowan looked at the trio. "So, obviously Mr. Empty doesn't know that Zoe's dead."
"So both of our searches led us here." Brandon confirmed, Ryan whipped her face and saw the mascara smudge on her hand. A slight fear went over her as she hoped lacking mascara wasn't a massive face transformation.
"Which means Mr.Empty and Lance Broadly are the same person." Rowan exhaled.
"So, Mr.Empty, AKA Lance Broadly, was Zoe's boyfriend?" Trevor gave a questionable look.
