Ethan was speeding his way, trying to get out of Tempest as fast as he could. He had no music on for now. Just listening to the muffled sound of cars passing by. He kept his eyes locked onto the road in front of him, not letting anything from the outside world, distract him from his dead set goal.
There was a bottle of half drunken cola that had been marinating in the summer sun for around two days now. He accidentally grabbed it, and took a sip. Immediately feeling the metallic and stale taste, making him spit it out in disgust.
A bunch of flies were also slamming themselves into the windshield of the car. Making him constantly have to turn on the wipers every 10 seconds.
"H-how could've this possibly happened? I left those two alone for less than 12 hours?!" Ethan grips the steering wheel much tighter than before.
Now about an hour more of driving, Ethan decided to finally put on some music and cool down. He turns on the radio, and changes whatever Mark was blasting in there before him, to something way more listenable. White girl music. So there Ethan was, slightly jamming to some white girl music, while wishing that metallic coke taste would just leave his mouth already.
"So what's your problem again ma'am?" Arthur is back at the receptionist area, with a bottle hiding just underneath. Braxton is also there, leaning on the table with Milo in his arms, sleeping. Maris was sitting near the doorway awkwardly. Looking like she wanted to go back to the living room. Melissa and Ms. Avery was out doing something. "You were kinda talking quickly I couldn't catch it" Arthur twirls his bottle while saying that. With Braxton still softly petting the back of Milo.
"My husband has been gone from the house for two days now! I think that he might have been kidnapped!" She said frantically.
"Where was the last place you've seen him?" Braxton asks.
"He went out to go bowling with his buddies, and just never came back!" She was trying to pull out her own hair. "p-please just help me find him!!" she got onto her hands and knees, and begged the three of them.
Arthur sighs. "Sure ma'am, just wait here while we figure out what happened to your husband…" he gets up, and drops the bottle of beer in his hands onto the floor. Making him really sad. "C'mon guys!" he notions both Braxton and Maria to come with mi outside. Which they both do without any resistance. Anything was better than hanging out with that weirdo anyway. Braxton also kept the dog in his hands, not trusting her to be alone with that woman.
So there they all were, Arthur, Braxton, Maria and Milo were all on the hunt for where this guy could've went.
"God dammit! Why do we have to do this today!" Arthur whines. "I was bouta have the best nap of my life and everything!"
"Whelp, at least we got some sort of work," Braxton reminds him. Maria stays in the back, not saying a word. Milo slowly wakes up after feeling that pillow got a lot more bumpy. Braxton feels her squirming around in his arms, and lets her down to the ground. She lets out a huge yawn, and stretches her body like crazy.
"Woof! (what're we doing today?!)" She barks.
"Whaddup Milo!" Braxton waves at her. "We're going to try to find some crazy lady's husband or something!" he tells her. The other two nod their heads as well.
"Ruff! (okay! I don't give two shits though…)" Milo clearly couldn't care less.
"Sir! I'm gonna need to write you a ticket!" They all hear some officer shouting at someone from just around a corner. "Oh! C'mon man! I have somewhere to be right now! Could you please let me off the hook for now!" a voice that sounded a lot like Ethan's was heard arguing back. That finally peeked all of their interests. So they sneak up to the corner, and all peek their heads around it. Lo and behold, Ethan was seen in the car, looking pissed off, having some random cop give him a $500 ticket for speeding.
"Hey what's going on here?" Arthur somehow slips out of everyone's sight, and walks over to the car. "That guy's with us!"
"Arthur?! What are you guys doing outside of the station?!" Ethan asks, catching the attention of the officer.
"S-station! Ah hell nah get the fuck outta my face! You scumbag murderers!" The officer gets way more aggressive than usual, having to have Ethan let Arthur, Braxton, Maria, and Milo before flooring it out of the guy's sight.
He parks into some shaded area, and turns his head to look at how cramped everyone was in the back. Looking like a twisted human form of Tetris.
"What are you guys doing?" He was so exhausted from this day.
"Oh, some random crazy lady with grey hair, asked to find her husband for her! So we're gonna go look around town…" Arthur was lying about the last part. Ethan's face flickered, almost like he thought of something.
"Did it look like one of her eyes was made of glass?" Ethan asks. Making the three of them ponder back on how her right eye didn't move, ever in the conversation.
"Maybe…?" Braxton shrugged his shoulders.
"Wait. do you guys not realise who that was?!" Ethan asked again. In which they all shook their heads. "That was the former A.C.P.D. CEO! She was demoted and somehow lost all her memories! The only thing she remembers is her husband that got killed while going bowling with his friends!" Ethan explained.
"So she's just a nutjob! Fucking knew it!" Arthur crosses his arms, and motions Ethan to take them all home. He turns on the car once more, hearing a weird stuttering sound for some reason, but it turns on just fine so he doesn't worry about it.
They made it back to the station, since there was only a one minute drive back. Hopping out of the car, they all hope that this lady didn't trash the place too much. The suspension of walking to the door was eminence, it felt like a cheezy 80's horror movie. Ethan made it to the door first, and slowly yet steadily, opens the door.
