Chapter 9. Acquainted

"Ugh, where the hell is it?!" Delsin muttered to himself as he searched his room and aggressively padded his pockets.

Only a day has passed since you two became acquainted and already he had misplaced your cell phone number.

"Okay she gave me the piece of paper; I put it in my pocket; showered; lost my phone; fell asleep; found my phone; and her number is mysteriously missing. Great. Fucking perfect."

He paced back and forth continuously throughout his entire home. Delsin and Reggie shared a quaint little house. It was once owned by their parents, until an unfortunate accident happened and so the home has been passed down to the Rowe brothers. Yet, due to Reggie's job he's fully engrossed with police work, therefore, almost rarely home. Which suddenly gave Delsin a conniving idea as he stopped his pacing in front of Reggie's unlocked room.

He slowly pushed the door open and looked over his surroundings as he entered, "Hey Reggie," he called out, "you won't mind if I borrow your laptop for a bit right?" he asked out loud knowing very well Reggie wasn't present to give him a response.

"No? Okay. Thanks bro."

Delsin deviously smiled to himself as he grabbed his brother's laptop and began to fumble with it.

"Alright let's see here," he sat down on Reggie's bed and pressed random buttons as the laptop started. "Password? Password. Password. Password. Password...."

He let his head fall back as he pondered for the word to unlock Reggie's laptop and access his police files.

"Name of our cat? Course not we never had a cat. Uhh how about.... Yes! SlyCooper123? Really Reg?" He laughed. "Alright, now to find (Name). Pfft how hard can this be," he said boastfully.

Once the home screen loaded, Delsin began on his quest to find you in the Akomish system. However, after a minute or two, he finally came into realization that your name will not appear on the computer screen.

"Wait, (Name) lives in Seattle. Reggie only has the profiles of Salmon Bay," he sighed. "Well isn't this a waste of time."

Feeling defeated, he began to exit out of all the opened programs to leave Reggie's laptop as it were. Therefore, Reggie would never suspect his brother meddling with it. Although he had to retreat from  his original scheme, his new plan to the delete all evidence of his tampering with Reggie's laptop seemed to be going effortlessly well.

That is until the computer froze.

"What? Ugh c'mon," frustrated, Delsin began to spam the bottom arrow key. As that proved ineffective he spammed for another, then another. In a flash the screen went blue.

"Shit, shit, shit!" he panicked. "Reggie's gonna kill me!"

"Delsin? Are you in here?" a familiar loud voice omitted from down the hall causing Delsin's apprehensiveness to increase.

Before Delsin could do any feeble attempt to leave the scene, Reggie entered his room. He immediately looked at Delsin holding his laptop and like a deer in front of headlights, and much like Reggie's laptop, Delsin froze.

"Delsin! What the -"

"Nu-uh, it's not what it looks like, Reg," he interrupted, "I asked you before I even used it."

"What? I wasn't even here!" Reggie retorted with a befuddled expression.

"And that's my fault how?"
