"Hey, have you seen or heard from Eddie recently?" Cassie spoke on the phone. "Know anyone who would know? Alright sorry to bother you." she ended the call before huffing and running her hands through her hair.

"Hey, guys, I might have a lead." Max said and all attention was on her.

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. Apparently, Eddie gets drugs from some guy named Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there. "

"Sounds promising. Where does Reefer Rick live?" Robin asked.

"See, that's the thing. No one knows. He's more of a... a legend than someone that people actually know." Max said as she glanced at Cassie who looked back at her with a smile.

"Last name?" Dustin asked as he sat on the chair.

"I don't know that either."

"Bet the cops know the last name." Steve spoke up as he closed the door.

"What?"

"Cops. I mean, listen, if this Reefer Rick is actually a drսg dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Means he's in the system." He looked at the group of four.

"The cops?" Dustin asked.

"Really, Steve? That's your suggestion? You're more helpful chatting up girls with boyfriends!" Cassie sassed.

"First of all, rude." Steve said kind of hurt. "Second, I think they should be filled in on what we know, what's going on."

"You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" Cassie asked as she neared him.

" I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit. I just, you know, don't think we can rule it out."

"That's literally what we're trying to do here, you mopped headed weirdo." Cassie said as she folded her arms.

"And maybe we'd have a little bit more luck if you spent less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie." Dustin said backing her up.

"Somebody has to attend to the customers." Steve excused himself, pointing at the door, unaware of the customers coming in and helping themselves.

"Especially if they're babes, right?" Robin winked at him ironically at the same time someone else entered, jingling the bell.

"Hey, not fair. Okay? I attend to all customers equally, babes and non-babes alike. We've got a very big selection in here. It can be super overwhelming for people." just then it looked like an idea struck Robin.

"Yeah, it can be."

"What are you doing?" Max asked as Robin sat at the computer.

"Maybe we don't need a last name." She typed in 'Rick'. Twelve Ricks have accounts here."

"Lot of Ricks." Max commented.

"So, let's narrow it down."

"Rick Alderman's latest rentals are Annie and Dumbo."

"Chances our drսg dealer has a family?" Cassie asked as she eyed the screen.

"Not likely." Max shook her head lightly.

"All right. Rick Conroy. Sixteen Candles, Teen Wolf, Romancing the Stone." Robin spoke out.

"No." the four said in unison.

"Rick Lipton. Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Cheech & Chong's Next Movie. Cheech & Chong's Nice Dreams. Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke."

Cassie looked at the screen with approval.
