eyes darting, grips his guitar Hey, you're... uh, Jess's friend, right? Seen her around?
yeah she moved into my apartment complex
leans in closer, whispers You think I could... maybe... get her number or something?
grabs Oliver's arm, taps it eagerly Oh come on, man! Don't be like that! Just help me out here, okay?
pulls out his phone, opens his contacts Alright, let's see... Jess, Jess, Jess... Got it! I've got her number right here.
quickly dials Jess's number on his phone Here goes nothing... waits nervously for the call to connect
drrt drrt drrt.. its ringing
paces back and forth, muttering to himself Come on, Jess, pick up, pick up...
takes a deep breath Uh, hey, Jess! It's, uh, Zachary. Yeah, that's me.
hey Zachary how are you doing
runs a hand through his messy hair Oh, you know, just trying to survive, man. But listen, I really need your help.
leans in closer, voice low and urgent Look, Jess's gone off the grid or something. I need you to help me find her.
clenches his fists Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We'll start by checking her usual hangouts, okay?
snaps his fingers Coffee shops, got it. And maybe we can check her social media too, see if she's posted anything recent.
rushes to the door, grabs his car keys Let's get going, then! We've got work to do, man!
slams the car door shut and revs the engine Buckle up, bro! We're gonna find Jess and maybe even have some fun along the way!
zooms out of the parking lot, weaving through traffic Hold on tight, man! We're gonna make this night unforgettable!
grinning maniacally Yee-haw! Hang onto your hat, bro! We're gonna tear up the town, searching high and low for Jess!
sees a coffee shop oh i know where she is
laughs loudly Well, well, well, look at you, Sherlock Holmes! You've got instincts, man! Let's dive in and catch us some coffee!
bounces over to Jess's table, grinning widely Hey there, Jessie! Long time no see, gorgeous! Mind if I join you? Jessie: looks up, surprised Zachary? Wow, didn't expect to see you here!
