October 17th, 1976

Scott had just finished cleaning the guest rooms for the day. He sighed, walking around the hotel with nothing to do. He greeted the janitor and the security guards. Then an idea popped into his mind.

Hanging out with Frank! He thought, immediately dashing to the library. The doors slammed open, making the librarian flinched due to the sudden noise. Everyone in the room "Shhh!" him. "Sorry!" He whispered.

He walked over to the front desk where the librarian stood. "So what brings you here today, Scott?" The librarian asked the hotel attendant, who put his arm slickly on the table while putting his palm against his cheek. "Ah it's absolutely nothing, I just wanted to-" "To annoy me, isn't it?" Frank cut the hotel attendant off with a not surprised look on his face. Scott chuckled as he ruffled Frank's hair. Frank rolled his eyes as he turned around.

Frank then took a random book within his grasp, handing it to Scott afterwards. Scott cocked his eyebrow as he curiously observed the book. "What's this?" He pointed the book cover as he asked Frank. "Seems like "Slaughterhouse-Five" by the looks of it." Frank responded.

"So wanna go hang out tonight?" He asked Frank. Frank took a long breath. "Apologies Scott, but I have business to attend, perhaps tomorrow is alright?" Frank said, which made Scott frown. Scott sighed, "Deal?" He said, lending out his pinkie finger. Frank looked at the finger, smiling. "Deal." He answered.
