Matt's Pov
I pull up in Brian's driveway and honk the horn.

"It'll few minutes before he comes out" I say looking at Riley.
"Ok" she says.
"What's up?" I say leaning against the seat.
"Oh, its just my birthday is tomorrow and I wanted to celebrate my first birthday with him" she says frowning.
"I know. But I promise we'll find him so it can happen" I say pulling her close. "I'm making that your present and maybe other things" I say laughing.
"You're the best ever" she says kissing me.
I kiss back. "I'd be damned if I don't find him before tomorrow ends."

"Oh that's just nasty" Brian says as he and Chelle get in.
"Speak for yourself" Riley says laughing.
"Great come back" he says.
"I say it was" I say backing out and drives off.
"Well duh" Brian says making his usual derp faces.
"The more you make those faces, the more your face is going to stay that way" Riley says rolling in the jokes.
I laugh.
"Oooo ouch" Brian fake crying.
"She reminds me of Jimmy right now."

"So tomorrow's your birthday, right?" Chelle asks Riley trying to distract her.
"Yeah" she says nodding.
"Just checking. Because I have something wonderful for your present" Chelle says with a smile.
"Thanks" Riley says smiling back.
"Did you get me anything Bri bri" Riley asks him.
"Maybe I did, maybe I didn't" he replies.
"Turd nugget" she says.
"Takes one to know one" he replies back.
"Don't talk about yourself that way" she says sarcastically.
"Hardy har har" he says.
"So where are we going to look first?" Chelle asks after a moment.
"I'm not really for sure" I say.
"Me either" she says with a sigh.

"This is really difficult for everyone."

**Authors note**
I'm not killing Jimmy off or writing his death.
