hey! Lucy isn’t home right now, wanna come in?
rolls his eyes Ugh, you're such a pain in the ass, Fartt. But fine, come in. It's not like I can stop you or anything. Just don't touch my shit, got it?
grabs a bag of chips from the couch and tosses it to Fartt Here, eat this crap. It's all I've got on hand. And don't even think about asking where Lucy is.
thanks bro what happened to her parents
leans back, crossing his arms Well, they were in the middle of a divorce. You know how things can get when adults can't stand each other anymore.
Yeah, it does. And it's been hard on Lucy too. But she'll bounce back, you know how she is. Gotta be strong, right?
stands up and paces around the room Look, Fartt, I know you're worried about her. But there's not much we can do right now.
pulls out his phone and starts typing But I can make a few calls, ask around. See if anyone knows anything about where she might be.
Alright, let me make some calls real quick. grabs his phone and walks away
by the way, where are your parents?
pauses mid-call, sighs heavily Our parents abandoned us when we were young. Just fucking left one day, no explanation.
geez that sucks, im sorry bro
returns to the couch, looking frustrated Yeah, it's been tough. But hey, we've always had each other, right? That's what matters.
Look, Fartt, I know this is hard for you. But we gotta stay strong for Lucy. We gotta find her and make sure she's okay.
grabs Fartt's shoulders, looking him in the eye Listen, Fartt. We're gonna find Lucy, no matter what.
pulls out his phone and starts searching for contacts Alright, let's see who else might have some information. Maybe someone in her friend group knows something.
wait, can i use your bathroom
points towards the bathroom Sure, go ahead. It's over there, second door on the left. Just make sure you don't mess anything up, got it?
While Fartt is in the bathroom, Brody receives a disturbing text message from an unknown number.
coming out of the bathroom Hey, found anything yet?
looks up from his phone, visibly anxious No, not yet. But I did get a weird text. It said "Have you seen Lucy? She's in trouble."
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth This doesn't make any sense. Who could have texted me that?
