Finally, after what felt like hours, Riley had managed to shut Steve up for a few miniutes so she and Max could explain what was going on. Riley was in charge of crossing out names of people who didn't know where Eddie was. Dustin, Max and Robin were calling all the people they could find who may know of Eddie's whereabouts while Steve attended to the customers.
Dustin tapped of her shoulder shaking his head and she quickly crossed out yet another name from the list infront of her.
"Hey guys," Max slammed her phone down, turning to face the group, "I might have a lead."
Dustin shot up from where he was leaning on Riley, starting to give up hope that they were ever going to find Eddie, "Seriously?"
Max nodded, "Apparently, Eddie gets drugs from some guy named reefer Rick, and sometimes Eddie crashes there."
"That sounds promising." Robin spoke, "Where does this Reefer Rick guy live?"
"See that's the thing. No one knows. He's more of a... a legend than someone that people actually know."
"What about a last name?" Riley suggested.
"I don't know that either."
"Bet the cops know a last name." Steve joined the conversation.
"What?"
"Cops."" Steve repeated ignoring Riley who was glaring at him, "I mean, listen, if this Reefer Rick guy is actually a drug dealer, I guarantee you he's been busted at some point. Means he's in the system."
Riley shook her head, "What? You want us to just walk into the police station and be all like, yeah we just want to know the surname and address of some drug dealer guy we've heard of. Doesn't sound suspicious at all."
"No, I just think at this point they should be filled in on what we know, what's going on." Steve defended.
"You think Eddie's guilt, don't you?" Dustin accused.
"Whoa, I believe in innocent until proven guilty, all that constitutional shit. I just you know... I don't think we can rule it out."
"That's precisely what we're trying to do here, Steve."
Dustin pointed towards Max before turning back to face Steve in annoyance, "And maybe we'd have a little more luck if you spend less time trying to find a girlfriend and more time trying to find Eddie."
"Somebody has to attend to the customers."
"Especially if they're babes, right?" Robin smirked, winking at the older Harrington.
"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 these people."
"Yeah, it can be." Robin nodded turning to sit on the seat Riley had previously sat on infront of the computer.
"What are you doing?" Max asked moving to stand besides her.
"Maybe we don't need a last name."
Riley looked around the shop, noticing a man stood in the back corner looking confused between all the shelves of movies. Riley leaned towards Steve, "Prove it, go and help that guy find a movie."
Steve took one look at the man in the far corner, from his mullet which looked like it hadn't been washed in days to the pack of cigarettes badly hidden in his pocket, and shook his head moving to hide behind the counter, "Nope, you know, you guys seem like you need my help."
"Twelve Ricks have accounts here." Robin spoke as Riley stood on her toes trying to lean over Dustin's shoulder trying to get a better look at the screen. The Henderson boy immediately moved backwards allowing her to stand infront of him.
