Five

(ep 2 pt 2)

We all took off on our bikes towards the Family Video Store. Steve and Robin had the morning shift on Saturdays so hopefully they would be willing to help us.

I was out of breath by the time we got there because Dustin refused to slow down despite my complaint about weak lungs.

Max and Dustin burst into the store. "Hey Steve."

"Have you guys seen this?" Steve asked as he pointed to the TV. The news was on and talking about Chrissy's murder.

"Yeah. How many phones do you have?"

"Someone was murdered," Steve mentioned.

"How many phones do you have?" Dustin demanded again.

Steve sighed. "Two. Why?"

"Technically three if you count Keith's," Robin added.

Dustin and Max looked at each other. "Yeah, three works." I was getting convinced that they had telepathy.

Dustin took off his backpack and slid it on the checkout counter.

"What are you doing?" Steve asked. Dustin's bag then knocked over some VHS tapes. "Henderson, what the hell are you doing?" STeve yelled.

"My pile!" Robin screamed.

Then Dustin jumped over the counter like the dramatic little shit he is.

"No, no no! My tapes! Dude." Steve groaned and looked at the mess on the floor.

"Hey babes," I leaned against the counter and greeted Robin as she seethed in silent anger.

"What are you doing?" Steve asked as Dustin typed furiously on the computer.

"Setting up a base of operations here," Dusin replied as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Stop, get off of that," Steve argued.

"No, I need it."

Steve looked like he was about to lose his temper."For what?"

"Searching up Eddie's friends phone numbers." Dustin admitted.

"Oh Eddie. Your new best friend who you think is cooler because he plays your nerdy game?" Steve rolled his eyes with jealousy.

"Yes, wait, I never said that," Dustin started to argue with Steve.

"Seriously, you guys, maybe on a Monday you can play around, but it's Saturday. It's our busiest day," Robin complained. She looked at me as I watched her restack the tapes.

"Don't mind me. I'm just babysitting," I said and watched Steve lose his shit.

"Look, Robin. I totally empathize but this cannot wait until Monday," Dustin added.

"Well is calling all of Eddie's friends an emergency?" Robin asked.

"Correct!"

Steve whispered to Robin, "You want me to strangle him or do you want to?"

"We could take turns," Robin replied enthusiastically. I repressed a laugh.

"Char, could you please fill them in while I do this?" Dustin asked.

All eyes were on me now.

"Fill us in on what?" Robin asked.

"It's not even my theory but fine," I muttered.

Robin and Steve huddled up front with me while I explained what happened last night. Max helped fill in smaller details she noticed since she watched Eddie flee.

Robin immediately started helping. Ever since last summer, she's been really freaked out about all supernatural things and foreign government invasions.

Steve took care of the customers and tried flirting with this girl after giving her Doctor Zhivago. Apparently she had a boyfriend and Steve tried to act like he wasn't crushed.

I really needed to bring back the you rule/you suck board from when Robin, Steve and I worked at Scoops Ahoy.
