After Liam finally got eliminated from ONE and got teleported back to San Fransisco, he was homeless, and determined to free the others and stop airy. Later, it started to hail. Great, just great for him.
He took shelter in an alley for the night.
Finally pulling stones notes out of the backpack, he looked over them.
(Liam's pov)
What do these notes even mean..? It's all just random numbers..- Wait. Bridgeport? That's where Soda Bottle lives.. This is his address. I have to go to him.

In the morning, Liam started his journey to Bryce's house and hitchhiked since he didn't have a car, money or license.
After several different cars, people, places, and homeless shelters, a week later, Liam made it to Bryce's apartment complex.
(Liam's pov)
Well, I'm finally here. Hopefully Soda Bottle doesn't mind that I came here. I need his help to stop airy.
After going up the elevator to Soda Bottles apartment and standing outside the door for a moment;
Should I knock..? What if this isn't his apartment? Whatever. It's worth a try.
He knocked on Soda Bottles door hesitantly.
Soda Bottle opened the door.
"Soda Bottle?" Liam said,
Soda Bottle slammed the door in Liam's face, in shock.
(Bryce's pov)
Holy shit. Backpack? Is here? It's been 7 months. What.
This cannot be happening.. I- I thought-
(Liam's pov)
"Soda Bottle- I finally looked at the notes stone gave me and they lead me here, I can't figure out these other ones.. It's a bunch of numbers and I don't know what they mean, theres a smokestack, a 5.. Maybe you can help me figure them out?-"
I said.
Silence.
Does Soda Bottle not want me to be here? I came all the way here.. I mean, we were friends.. Maybe he doesn't want to be involved? But the others are still trapped. He has to help me free them.
Still, silence.
"Soda Bottle, please open the door.. What happened to the Soda Bottle I know? The one that cared for me, scenty, the others. Look, I know this is sudden, but I need your help. Please, Soda Bottle."
Awhile later, after I stopped arguing with what felt like a brick wall, I waited.
10 hours later.
I was asleep, leaning on Soda Bottles door.
"Is she still there?" Soda Bottle suddenly asked, startling me awake.
"H-huh..?" I asked, waking up and processing what he asked.
"Is she still there." Soda Bottle asked again.
"Her..? Oh, uh, yeah. She is-"
Soda Bottle opened the door, making me fall on my back. He let me inside, finally.
A few minutes later.
"So, um, why did you decide to let me in?-" I asked Soda Bottle, as he was cooking eggs.
"I have to go to work, and I can't if you're trapping me in my apartment the whole day." Soda Bottle replied.
"Oh, sorry, haha.." I said nervously.
"Yeah, maybe waiting at my door for 10 hours wasn't the best thing you could've done.. Well, I'm gonna get the mail. Make sure the eggs don't burn while I'm gone." Soda Bottle said.
"Got it.." I replied.
A few minutes later, Soda Bottle came back with the mail. I got distracted. The eggs burnt.
Soda Bottle walked over to the burning eggs after putting the mail down, and gave me an annoyed look.
"You really are a mess." Soda Bottle said.
I shot him a nervous smile.
(Bryce's pov)
God, that smile.. He's so cut- I mean. What? What am I thinking?
I blushed a little as I saw his silly cute smile, and blocked out those thoughts about him.

"How long did it take you to fly here anyway?" Bryce asked Liam.
"Well.. I didn't fly here, since I didn't have the money for it." Liam replied.
"How did you get here then?" Bryce asked, looking a little surprised.
"I hitchhiked here. Took about a week." Liam said.
"Oh, okay." Bryce said.
"Also, do you know anything about these notes? This one has a picture of a laptop with the word 'silva' on it." Liam asked Bryce.
"Well, I do know a silva. I could write you his address." Bryce replied.
"Oh.. Could you drive me there at least?" Liam asked.
"I can't, I have work in 10 minutes and I don't have time to deal with you."
Just as Bryce said that, he got a call on his phone and answered. A minute or two later, the call ended..
"Some dumbass left the freezer's off overnight and now the health inspector has to come over." Bryce said to Liam.
"Do you still have work today?" Liam asked, with a grin on his face.
Awhile later, Bryce drove Liam to Bradley's house.
"Hey, Soda Bottle?-" Liam asked, before being cut off.
"I have a name y'know." Bryce replied harshly.
"You never told me. Sorry." Liam said.
"Bryce Hansen." Bryce said.
"Liam Plecak." Liam replied.
"So.. Bryce. Sorry for.. Y'know, waiting at your door all night. I didn't mean to. I just.. really need your help with this." Liam said, sounding a little saddened.
"It's alright.. Just not the best thing you could've done. You can stay at my place for tonight, but tomorrow you have to find your own place to stay." Bryce replied.
"Thanks." Liam said.
"You're welcome." Bryce said back.
They arrived at Bradley's house after being stuck in traffic forever. The spoon, Bradley Silva, was having a garage sale.
"Hey, Bryce! What brings you here? I'm having a garage sale! Looking to make a few quick bucks and some extra house space." Bradley said.
"We're looking for a laptop. Have you seen..-"
Bryce was cut off by Liam.
Liam held up a gray laptop he found on one of the tables outside.
"Like this one?" Liam said.
"That old thing? I was looking for a few twenties for it, but since you're here, I'll take fifteen." Bradley said.
".. I don't have any cash." Liam said to Bryce.
"I'll take it." Bryce said to Bradley.
Later, they drove back to Bryce's apartment with the laptop. Bradley said the keyboard didn't work.
As soon as they get inside, Liam sets it down and starts testing it by typing. It works.
Later, Bryce and Liam started arguing about something.. and Texty tried to gain their attention. They played an airhorn sound effect and started Bryce and Liam, making them focus on the screen. Texty went to the notes app.
"Guys! You're back!" Texty typed.
"Texty? Is that you?" Liam said, shocked.
"Yeah, it's me!" Texy typed back.
Awhile later.. it's nighttime.
Liam is still trying to figure out the notes.
Ugh, what does smokestack even mean.. Liam thought, before it began to rain.
"Hey Texty, can you pull up the weather?" Liam asked.
Texty pulled up the weather news, it would be raining all night.
Liam looked out the window and saw the smokestack, with rain and clouds just like it showed on the note.
