Colt started his way down the current sidewalk that he was in, deep in thought. His first thought was simply just that he wished Shelly could've said what Poco had last said before Colt left. It was only after a few seconds later, did he rounded a few more street corners, and found what looked like to be a man with black hair and rough stubble, who was wearing the costume of two cardboards.

One was strapped to his stomach and chest and front torso, and one was strapped to his back.

He seemed to be advertising something that was fairly certain to guess as it was displayed in front of and in the back of the double cardboard slate costume.

Best Deals on the Best Electronics! Come check us out!

Colt knew a thing or two about electronics now. It wasn't as if it were his first time in the city. He knew how many people of the city depended on electronics nowadays to guide them throughout their day. And so it would make sense to assume that there would be a lot of people at this store that the man advertising wouldn't it?"

Colt walked over towards the man, but it seemed as if the man was ready to notice him, because it was almost as if instantly after taking just a few more steps did the man look towards Colt's direction.

"Hey there pal, need a nice phone for a good price?" he asked.

Colt just chuckled.

"Ah, no, not today. I was just wondering if you could give me any directions."

Colt thought that the man would be disappointed that he wouldn't get another free potential customer, but the man seemed relaxed and didn't seemed that way, or even angry at one bit at all.

"Certainly, but I am afraid that I will have to guide you to my store so I can look up the directions on my computer." He replied back.

At this point, almost anything including time was what Colt was willing to give in order to get directions. But Colt's hair... no, of course that wasn't such of an option.

By the time Colt and the man got to the store, with Colt retracing his steps silently in his mind so that he could remember where his friends were, he could see the big neon sign that was just a simple: Eli's Electronics.

Colt was surprised to not see anyone inside of the store, and as he and the man got inside, the man detached the two boards that were sticking in front and behind of him before getting behind the counter.

After Colt looked around at the store's interior, which consisted of a couple shelves with alarm clocks, glass cases with some sleek looking phones, some slick looking tablets, and other expensive and costly looking items, he turned towards the man who was behind the counter and typing rapidly on a white computer, and sitting behind a small black chair with some small padding.

"I take you must be Eli huh?" Colt asked.

"Yes sir, you are correct." The man said without taking his eyes off the screen as he typed on some more keys and moved his mouse for a few seconds.

"Not much business around here hmm?" Colt asked.

"Not now apparently." Eli replied back. "Most people are still at work at this time of day. But I don't need to worry. I usually get the best customers in the morning and at the evening. Now, where exactly do you need directions to go to?" he asked.

"You know where the Starry Sky Suite is by any chance?" Colt asked.

"Ah, of course." Eli nodded before typing into the computer. "That is a very rich place to lodge in eh?"

"Yessire!" Colt nodded enthusiastically. "My grandfather paid for it.

For a split second, Colt thought he could see Eli's pair of ears perk up before returning to normal, before his fingers finally stopped typing on the keyboard.
