"You are terrible at this." Bryson said as he sat in the back of the car, he looked up from the book he was reading and was now watching Nico attempt to parallel park it in between two other cars.

"This isn't suppose to be part of my job!" Nico cried out as the tail of the car nearly smashed into the headlight of another car.

"If you hit something, I'll dock it from your pay." Bryson said rubbing a hand to his temple.

"Gaaah!" Nico said as he tried to squeeze the car in place.

After several minutes of the car repeating the movements of going back and forth and making very little headway, Nico finally managed to park the car. Bryson with a very tired sigh opened the door to his car and got out.

"It's good to know that being a valet would be the worst decision you would ever make." Bryson commented.

"Errr, this doesn't usually happen." Nico said rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"Whatever, let's-" Bryson stopped talking when he saw of all people Lila Frost walking toward them.

"What are you doing here?" Bryson questioned.

"Oh, I was watching you trying to park for the last ten minutes." Lila teased.

"It- it didn't take that long!" Nico said sheepishly.

"Felt that long." Bryson said.

"Give me a break." Nico said exasperated.

"Anyways, why are you here?" Bryson asked, turning back toward Lila.

"Oh, actually I was heading to the magic place."

"The Warrington Sprite?" Nico asked.

"Yeah, there."

"Why?" Bryson asked.

"I think Lottie is going to be there." Lila said.

"Why?" Nico asked.

"Well... she left me a letter." Lila said handing over a folded sheet of paper over to Bryson.

Snatching it he quickly read through the contents of the note.

Hey Lila! I'm going to go investigate, come back soon!"

Lottie

This explains nothing." Bryson said staring at the note.

"I may have told Lottie that you found the place weird." Lila said.

Bryson glared over at Lila, "Why?"

"I didn't think it would be much of a problem." Lila said defensively, "I didn't think that it would be much of a problem, you said it wasn't a problem."

"I said maybe. A big maybe at that." Bryson snapped. Shacking his head he gave an angry sigh, "Okay, we're going to the Warrington Sprite first."

"We are?" Nico said in surprise.

"Wait, why?" Lila asked.

"You know how I said that something maybe wrong the place?"

"Yeah."

"I lied, something is most likely wrong with the place." Bryson said turning to Nico, "Reese get us to the Warrington Sprite."

"What? I just parked it!"

"Well, then unpark it and drive."

With a frustrated sigh Nico got back into the driver's seat. Opening a door in the back, Bryson got in, then Lila opened the other side and sat down.
