"Is he on crack?"
Chapter Four: Psychotic Ex Friend
01x05: Plutonium Forever.*Trigger warning*
Callie rubs a hand over her face. She was tired, she barely slept, and the bed in the motel room was hard as a rock. She was still trying to find a place to stay. It was just taking a while for her to get herself together. She entered the garage with a yawn as Mojo trots in. Places her sunglasses on top of her head. Paige smiles at her with Ralph behind her as they are heading out the door. She puts her fist out for Ralph and he smiles going to fist bump her and he puts her hands out to pretend to be a shark eating his fist and causing the boy to laugh. She loved kids, and she had her fair share of experience, and having kids makes you see all kids differently. They make you feel like you have to protect them at all costs.
Another yawn escapes her lips and she walks over to her desk. "Morning Losers"
"Happy. Pick one... 20 bucks says I can guess it in under five seconds." Toby has a stack of cards fanned out in front of Happy.
Callie sits her bag down plopping down in her chair as she listens to their convo.
"Is this your way of asking for a loan? You blew your money, didn't you? Your ex-fiancée told you to never call her again, and you licked your wounds at a card table?"
"Wrong. Cleaned up at a card table. I got killed at crabs. Perhaps next time I should just call you."
"Wrong." Happy replies.
"Not that I would, but if I did, what exactly would be so wrong about that?"
"We don't have the time." She sasses walking off as Callie chuckles, Happy fistbumps her on the way to her desk and Toby looks at her, she just sits up straight shaking her head slightly at him.
"See, that's why I gamble."
Cabe burst through the door like a bat out of hell. "Walter! Why the hell aren't you answering your phone?"
Walter quickly trots down the steps. "I was working!" He steps to Cabe and they start quietly talking before the two leave without saying a word to anyone else.
After an hour the group is in front of a house, Callie steps off her bike seeing as everyone fits in Paige's car except her. Plus that's what she drove to work today, her old truck was in her shop. She was working on it.
"Guys, this way." Walter begins walking behind a fence.
"You know how much we love a good mystery, Walter. What exactly are we doing here?"
"Working." He replies vaguely, they enter through the back yard see a giant satellite standing behind a giant fence.
"Whoa, I bet this picks up the country station nice and clear."
