|Audree|
I take Zahaire and Braylon to Sean's frat house in hopes that his friend with the creepy room can help us get the info Braylon needs.
"What does a frat house have that the computer lab doesn't?" Zahaire asks.
"Well there this guy Sean introduced me to there. He's like a total lone wolf kind of guy who shops from the black market like he is running errands."
"So you're getting involved in some illegal shit." Zahaire states with a dry tone.
"No! Maybe? If it's for the good of humanity does it really matter?" I shrug.
"Said every tyrant politician. Ever."
"Chill...he is one of the good guys I promise...think Anonymous. They turned out to be pretty cool right?"
"Sure."
Zahaire puts his hands in his pockets and lets out one of his stressed sighs.
We make it to the door and I knock on it a few times. A minute or two passed and there is no answer. I video call Sean and he says he is out but his friend will be down in a second.
Moments later his friend arrives at the door. Just like last time, he has on a white T-shirt with random stains on it. He steps into the sunlight a bit more and I have a chance to fully look at him.
He winces as if the natural sunlight had been blinding him. He is actually short compared to how he looked sitting down. And I'm 5'6" so that's short!
"Haaaay...uh...Daniel?" I finger gun at him trying to guess his name.
"Nice try. Blake." He says.
Damn! I was far off.
"I'm sorry! I'm terrible with names ahaha." I scratch my head.
"Well it's nice to see you too. Audree." He said with a cold stare.
Damn, not the best start considering that I want to ask a favor.
Zahaire clears his throat.
I can sense his want to quickly get the information we need and make some progress so I turn to Daniel- Blake, I turn to Blake.
"These are my friends Zahaire and Braylon. I know this is gonna come off weird but we need you to find someone."
"You can find anyone these days. Why do you need me?"
"Cause they may or may not be alive? Per say?"
"Alright, I'll help."
"Really?" Zahaire asked.
"You huma-" Braylon clears his throat. "You frat folk are surprisingly helpful."
"See, I knew Blake would come thro-" Blake cuts me off.
"I'm not doing it for free. I may be good but I still risk getting caught whenever I go digging. I need compensation."
