Planning & Scheming

"It... Looks like there's someone online who goes by... A similar name, I think."

"You think? UGH! Who in this day and age doesn't have social media! This is so frustrating, Peps!"

"Yeah, you're telling me. There's nothing on this guy! But uhm..." Pepper paused, looking at the profile of the similar named guy. "This guy does totally look like the baker though. Like. Family close."

"Do you think like, we could use him to get to the guy?"

"Uhm..." Pepper took some time to scroll through the photos. "Ugh. He's super inactive, so probably not, but... It does look like he has a boyfriend or something." She paused, clicking on the other profile; "Sorry, partner," She could at least correct her mistake and be respectful.

"But like, neither of these two have any pictures of that baker. I'm not seeing him anywhere."

"Here, send me the profile." Salt immediately started scrolling through the profile once she was given it.

"Is it just me, or like... Is this guys last name like... Incredibly familiar."

"I dunno. Is it someone we went to school with? Look it up or something." Pepper just backed out of the profile, accepting it was probably not going to lead them anywhere, and she didn't want to try to message this random guy to see if they could dig up any dirt. If Salt wanted to, fine, but she had already gotten the guys name.

"Oh my Gods, Pepper." She looked up from her phone immediately, a genuine expression of shock that honestly worried Pepper for a second;
"What?"

"I just found out who this guys dad is. You're genuinely not going to believe this."

4s was bored. Really bored.

His job was boring, and the people today were boring. He could handle it-- or at least, pretend like he could-- being around his dads name-brand tech was constantly an uncomfortable reminder-- and it was fine, but there was hardly anything interesting that happened. He liked his old job because he got to talk about interesting things. It was all only just technology here.

Maybe it would've helped if anyone interesting came in today, but he hadn't seen anyone. Just checking people out. Small talk towards customers here and there. All the same, it felt like. To every other day he's worked so far. Draining, honestly. But at least right now, he was on break.

4s had jogged across the street to order some fries at one of those fast food joints, just a small little snack to keep his energy up. Sitting on the curb behind the building for some fresh air, and not wanting to risk being bothered in the break room until his break was fully over. It was cold outside, and he liked that. Right now, he was just scrolling through his phone. Wasting time watching videos at the lowest possible volume his phone would allow, before his phone buzzed with a notification from an app he hardly ever used anymore.

He raised an eyebrow at it, planning on swiping it away, but it was a text. So he figured he'd see what it was about.

It was a person he had never seen before. Some woman with blonde hair, and a... Very specific type of fashion. He could tell just by the profile this was probably someone who would bully people in highschool. Ignoring the text for now, he tapped on her profile. The assumption was proven correctly by the sheer amount of photos this woman had on her profile of herself. 4s just rolled his eyes. This woman was also older than him. A little older than his brother, but not older than his oldest. Which made him confused. If she was older than him, she surely wasn't someone he would've known from any school.

Backing out from the profile, he just looked at the text.

'Hey!' Something totally annoying. Not even explaining why she was texting. Something that immediately bothered the red haired employee. Another eye roll. If he wanted to know, it was clear he'd have to reply. Or if he didn't care enough-- which was the state he was in currently, he could ignore it.
