Over the next two weeks no one had seen Billy, and they were all too scared to ask about it, so they didn't. Nick was rarely around much, most likely with Billy. And the rest of them just studied, hung out, partied a bit, and watched more movies, trying to get this last challenge out of their heads. Trying to come up with something to do in their last few weeks there, knowing they wouldn't be back do to the last challenge with the Helpline.
And then came the day of the last task.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an impressive summer. One final challenge remains; sales. Over a million companies advertise with Google, find one that doesn't. Convince them. The bigger the sale, the more chance you have at taking this competition. The winner will be announced at our final meeting this afternoon, good luck, happy hunting!" Chetty informed the interns about a challenge for the final time, on the stage with his microphone.
Team Lyle looked at each other excitedly, and they knew they could nail this one. Nick was there, but still no sign of Billy. Nick looked at the empty chair next to him sadly, as sales was something he and Billy specialized in. They'd have to do this one without him.
They all made their way into their office to start planning on where they were going to go and make a sale.
"Sales, son! Man those other bitches are going down!" Neha said excitedly whilst giving Yo-Yo a high five and leading the rest of the group to the office.
"Wait, where's Billy?" Neha finally realized, and Emily gave her a strange look.
"Are you just realizing he's not here?" Emily asked with a frown.
"He left." Nick said bluntly, walking past the others who stopped in their tracks in the middle of the office and he went to lean against a table.
"What?" Lyle asked, just to make sure Nick was being serious.
"Okay, am I the only one who noticed Billy hasn't been here the last two weeks?" Emily asked, baffled, and everyone turned to her with wide eyes. "I'll take that as a yes." She sighed.
"You heard him, he thought he was holding us back, he didn't wanna talk about it that's for sure." Nick sighed, sitting on a chair instead of leaning on the table.
"We gotta get him back." Neha said, glancing around at the others.
"She's right, we're all a team that's what you guys taught us." Yo-Yo pointed out, agreeing with what Neha said.
"I mean, it might of been buried by a mountain of obscure eighties references and just, you know, a ton of other super inappropriate bullshit that I guess was intended as life lessons? But you guys taught us how to come together, you taught us that." Stuart told him, using his descriptive ways of speaking as always.
"The problem is; when he makes up his mind on something old Billy has a tendency to really dig in," Nick told them all, obviously knowing his best friend very well. "We're gonna have to get ready to do this one without him."
