"God, you have such bony elbows," Emmy groaned as her hand massaged her neck. "Barely got any sleep last night."

"You snoring into my shoulder tells me otherwise," Robby teased. 

She immediately slapped his shoulder. "Shut up."

Johnny then emerged from the small shop with burritos. "All right. How we looking?"

"Uh... I think I got it matched up to my phone," Robby told him. "Only a few miles to go. Looks like a lot of bars and restaurants." He then flashed his dad his phone. 

"Are we really gonna go into every single one? I mean, who's the say Miguel hasn't found this Hector guy yet?" Emmy frowned, crossing her arms. 

Johnny hummed, glancing around them. "Here, let's ask this guy. Hola."

"Oh, God," she immediately muttered. 

"Español?" the man walked towards him. 

"What?" Johnny cluelessly replied. 

"Español?"

"No. America."

"Mexico," the man then pointed at their van. "You're in a tow zone. I need you to move the van."

"Gracias. Gracias. It's custom decal," Johnny took a bite out of his burrito.

"I don't know Spanish but that's definitely not what he said," Emmy leaned in closer to Robby. 

"I want man. Hector the Salazar."

"I don't know a Hector Salazar. You have to move the van, please."

Johnny turned back to the two teens. "I think this guy wants money."

The man began to shake his hands. "No, no money. Move the van."

"No, you cannot have the van. It's a very special van. You tell me, donde Hector Salazar, I give you dineros, si?"

"Okay, I'm gonna take a wild guess here and say that he doesn't know who the hell Hector Salazar is," Emmy winced as the man walked away. 

Johnny just shook his head and walked back towards them.

"If Hector is so dangerous, I don't think we should be throwing his name around," Robby commented. 

"Hey. We gotta shake the tree to get the apples," Johnny said.

Emmy furrowed her eyebrows. "That's a weird way to say it."

"Or we could climb the tree ourselves," Robby added. 

"What does that mean? What tree?" Johnny asked.
