"Alright, that's fine, I'll just do it myself" The dirty blonde man muttered to himself as he went to his crazy ex friend's house at 3 in the morning, hoodie and mask in tow.
He's alone tonight, trying to help Jay not die and attempting to keep himself alive as well.
As Brian approaches the house, he slows down and crouches, silently cursing himself for being outside this late at night. 'What if I wanted to sleep at night for once?' he thought to himself sneaking up to Alex's window to check in on him. 'I hate this fucking mask why am I still doing this. You are all so freaking exhausting.'
He watched for a moment, checked around and saw that Alex was in his room sleeping. 'Good,' he thought to himself sneaking back to the front of the house. 'I can get in, steal some tapes, sneak out and then hide them for Jay to find. That's not gonna take all night. Then I can get back to Tim's apartment and go to bed.'
He fidgeted with the door, attempting to open it to no avail, then went to the window, let out a sigh, and then opened it. Once inside he snuck into Alex's bag, finding a few loose tapes, and heading back to the window.

Crrrrrreak! A loose floor board under his feet screeched, breaking the silence and inevitably waking sleeping beauty up in his room.

"Who's there?" Alex yelled, peering out into the darkness of the living room, camera in hand.
'Shit!!' The blonde anti hero escaped through the window just in time to only be seen running away.
"Hey! Get back here you ass hole!!" the psychotic ex director yelled out the window as he unlocked each lock quickly.
Brian ran as fast as he could through the woods, praying to whoever may be up there to keep him from getting caught. It seemed as if tonight was his lucky night.
Alex quit chasing behind him after a few choice turns into unknown paths. He got back into his car and sped off, thankful his memory served him well.
"Well that happened. But I got some tapes. Where the fuck am I going to hide them for Jaybird to find? Details at eleven" he shut off his camera after stopping at a stop sign, "now to call Tim and Seth and see if either of them are awake. We'll all have to agree on this next part, probably." He grabbed his phone and called Seth first, there was no answer, as usual. He tried Tim next, but was unlucky there too. It seemed both of his arkmates were enjoying their peaceful night of sleep while he did the dirty work.
After driving around on empty for a while he stopped by Tim's and snuck in through the window. Placing the mask and camera down before checking the rooms.
As he checked on his dark brunette friend, he realized that his slumber would be a bit harder to come by as Tim's bed is currently being completely covered by a sprawled out, snoring mess of a man.
Brian walked lightly into the room, pulled the sheets over his best friend, seeing him smile faintly in his sleep.
"Night, Timbo." Brian whispered as he left for the couch, falling asleep just as the sun creeped through the living room curtains.
