Dustin sat on top of the roof where we all were yesterday. He sat with his binoculars staring into the storage area. He noticed that the only way to get in from the front was by using a key card.

"That key card opens the door, but unfortunately, the russian with the card happens to have a massive gun."

"Whatever's in this room, whatever's in those boxes, they really don't want anyone to find it."

"But there's got to be a way in." you say.

Steve puffs his hat back and says, "well you know, i could just take him out."

"Take who out"

"The russian guard." steve says, there's pause.

"what? i sneak up behind him, knock him out and the take his key card. It's easy." steve explains

"did you not hear the part about the massive gun?" Dustin asks.

"Yes, Dustin i did. And that's why i would be sneaking." steve puts emphasis on the word, 'sneaking'

"Well steve, have you ever actually......won a fight?"

"Okay that was one tim-"

"Twice! Jonathan, the year prior?"

"That doesn't count."

"why doesn't it count? because it looked like he beat the shit out of you."

"yeah-"

"you got beat up by jonathan byer?" you snort, which turns into a big laugh

"hey. no i didn't not!" steve groans, "will you stop laughing?"

"i cant it's so funny." you say holding onto your stomach

you look up to the corner of the room and see air duct, could work, you took the money from the tips jar and ran off to find a map.

"Y/n"
"Hey! Y/n"
"hey, what are you doing?" steve shouts after you

"i need money." you say

"well half of that is mine."
"where're you going?"

"To find a way into that room."
"in the mean time, behave and actually serve customers!"
"I'll be back soon!"

you place down a map of starcourt on the table in the back, "Star court mall, the complete blueprints."

"Not bad."

"so this is us, scoops." you point out the building you were in on the map, "And this is where we want to get to."

"i mean i don't really see a way in." Steve says

"there's not, if we're talking about doors."

"air ducts." Dustin says

"exactly."
"turns out this secret room needs air like all rooms."
"and these air ducts led all the way to it."

Steve pulls down the cover on the air duct. "flashlight." dustin hands him the flash light.

he looks into the duct, "i don't know man. I don't think your gonna fit."

"i'll fit. Trust me, no collarbones, remember?"

"What?!" I ask

"oh, he's uh.... got some disease. Chry..it's uh chrydo...um."
"Yeah i don't know, he's missing bones and stuff."

"Steve just shut up and push me!" Dustin yells
"okay."

"not my feet dumbass, push my ass."

"what?"

"Touch my butt, i don't care."

"Come on! Harder!"

"i'm pushing!"

"Push harder!"

"what the fuck is happening." you question

"i'm just gonna shove you."

"your gonna shove me?"

"Hey! idiots i don't think he's gonna fit."

someone starts hitting the bell, making you turn around, looking at the counter

It was the small annoying girl again.

wait, small!

Erica looks into the air duct, "hmm. Yeah i don't know."

"you don't know if you'll fit?"

"oh i can fit, i'm just not sure i want to."

"are you claustrophobic?" you ask

"I don't have phobias."

"Okay well what's the problem?" Steve asks.

"the problem is, i still haven't heard what's in this for erica."

Steve pushes a uss butterscotch towards her along with a lot of other treats she already had around her.

"more fudge, please."

"go on." She says waving steve away.

you show erica the blue prints of where she needs to go, "then you jump down and open the door."

"and you find out what's in those boxes?"

"exactly."

"and you say this guard is armed?"

"yes but he won't be there." Dustin says

"and booby traps?"

"booby traps?"

"lazars, spikes in the wall."

"what.?"

"you know what this half baked plan of yours, sounds like to me? CHILD ENDANGERMENT" erica yells

"we'll be in radio contact with you the whol-"

"ah, ah, ah! child. Endangerment!" repeats her previous statement

"erica? Hi.. uh, we think these russians want to do harm to our country. Great harm. Don't you love your country?"

"You can't spell 'America' without 'erica'"

"uh yeah, so don't do this for us, do it for your country, do it for your fellow man. Do it for America, Erica."

"ooh! i just got the chills." Erica smiles, "Oh yeah, from this float, not you speech."

"you know what i love about this country? Capitalism. It means people get paid for how good there services are, and to me it sound like my ability to fit through that small duct is very important to you. so if you want my help, this USS butterscotch better the first of many, i mean free ice cream.....for life." erica says
