"Hey, guys, I might have a lead." Max says.
"Seriously?" Dustin asks.
"Yeah." Max confirms, "Apparently, Eddie gets his drugs from some guy named Reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there."
"That sounds promising." I say.
"Where does this Reefer Rick guy live?" Robin asks.
"See, that's the thing. No one knows." Max says, "He's more of a... a legend than someone that people actually know."
"Well, what about a last name?" Dustin asks.
"I don't know that either." Max says.
"Bet the cops know the last name." Steve says, leaning on the counter behind me.
"What?" Max asks.
"Cops." Steve says.
The group stares at him, silently, in disbelief.
"I mean, listen, if this Reefer Rick is actually a drug dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point." Steve says, "Means he's in the system."
"The cops?" Dustin says, "Really, Steve? That's your suggestion?"
"I mean, I just think at this point they should probably be filled in in what we know, what's going on." Steve says.
"You think Eddie's guilty, don't you?" Dustin asks, crossing his arms.
"Woah, woah, woah. I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit, I just, you know," Steve says, rubbing his hands together, "I just don't think we can rule it out."
"That's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve." Max says.
"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 says.
I look over at Steve and raise and eyebrow.
"I'm not trying to find a girlfriend! And, well, somebody had to attend to the customers." Steve defends.
"Especially if they're babes, right?" I say to Steve, winking.
"Hey, c'mon. You're supposed to back me up on this." He says, pointing at me, "I attend to all customers equally, babes and non-babes alike."
"Is that so?" I say, crossing my arms.
"We've got a very big selection in here, okay? It can be super overwhelming for these people." Steve says.
"Alright, okay." I say, "So if I start attending to only hot guys that come in it's not going to be an issue?" I ask.
"Why would it be an issue?" Dustin asks.
"They're back together." Robin says.
"Wait, what?" Dustin asks in disbelief.
