Terry was thrown out of the bar and landed right on his face. Salem was soon outside with him, finally having gotten away from his animal-headed pursuers.
"What was that all about?" Salem grumbled at Terry.
"I thought I could beat the information we need out of people." Terry sat up and shrugged.
"And? Did you get it?" Salem asked.
"No, but I won all my matches," Terry said proudly.
"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't beat the crap out of you," Salem said, looking Terry dead in his eyes.
"I got those girls for you," he said, still smiling. Salem's hands shot forward and wrapped around Terry's neck.
"I...thought...you would...like it." Terry said gasping for air.
"What made you think that?" Salem said letting Terry go.
"While you two idiots were playing around in there, I actually got some information," Umbra said sounding bored.
"What did you find out?" Salem asked.
"Nothing. It seems like everywhere is a booked," Umbra replied. "That's what happens when you get on the last boat."
"So, we're screwed for the night then?" Salem said in frustration.
"While I'm sure he deserved it, why were you choking Terry?" Umbra asked.
"You saw that?" Salem said, doing his best to keep from chuckling. "He was the reason I was being chase by those jezebels."
"What, you're not interested?" Umbra asked.
"I'm wondering the same thing," Terry said. Salem was about to curse both the men out for prying into his life, but before he could say anything his HD started ringing.
"Umbra I have an idea that could work," Terry said excitedly to Umbra.
"Oh, dear sweet Father." Umbra said, shaking his head.
Salem answered his HD ignoring the two.
"I see you still haven't found a place to stay," said the voice on the HD.
"Who is this?"
"Your favorite delivery man," The voice said.
"Gabriel?" Salem said, confused.
"No, it's your mother," Gabriel said sarcastically. "Of course, it's me."
"Look, I don't have time—"
"I didn't ask. Listen. I've booked you all a place to stay. I will text you the details," Gabriel said, hanging up without another word.
"Asshole," Salem muttered to himself. A text popped up on HD from Gabriel with all the information, as promised.
"Hey guys," Salem said, interrupting whatever crazy idea Terry was illustrating for Umbra. "I found a place."

The scenery from the Ferris wheel was beautiful. I was sitting next to Omar with Trina and Veva on his other side. Sonya, Kara, and Natare sat across from us. Everyone was engaged in their own conversations, except for me and Omar. We were too busy looking at everything below us. The ocean looked beautiful, glittering from the reflected lights of the town, and the moon was shining brightly again.
"I'm really glad we ran into you guys," Omar said still looking at everything.
"Huh?" I replied.
"Me and Veva. It's been like a breath of fresh air having met you all," he replied.
