The Job Pickup, part 5 (9-5-15)

Previously, on The Job Pickup: Cody told Makayla he'd picked Loki and me up! I told Makayla we were at the Richmond Marina Bay and sent photographic evidence! Makayla went to go find Cody! Let's see how that went....

  • SIGYN Did you manage to find him yet?

SEPTEMBER 5, 2015
10.46 AM

MAKAYLA
Ok I ain’t found him
I found his truck

ME
And he wasn’t in it? O.o
We reached the end of the bay trail, Richmond Pkwy & Goodrick Ave. No luck hitching a ride so far, though.

MAKAYLA, 1.03 PM
I’m still hi tong him

ME
???

MAKAYLA, 1.55 PM
I found his truck

ME
Yes, you told me that, but the other message I didn’t understand.

MAKAYLA
I can’t find him

ME
Oh

MAKAYLA
Yeah

ME (completely fucking lost patience), 2.09 PM
We just walked all around Richmond trying to get a ride, walked in almost a full, big giant circle, before finally reaching a gas station so we could take care of nature calls and refill our water, almost out of food rations, in a town where no one even asks “are you okay” if they see you collapse

MAKAYLA
Oh

ME
Inhaler’s almost empty, completely stranded with no help, but gosh, I surely do hope your friend didn’t run afoul of some hobos in Berkeley.

MAKAYLA, 2.30 PM
I’m scared the truck was destroyed

ME
*shrug*

MAKAYLA
Um

ME
Ffs, file a missing persons report. He’s been gone more than 48 hours, was last seen in that city, and his (colour, make, model) truck was destroyed. Cops’ll figure it out from there, not much a civvie can do.

MAKAYLA
I’m not civvie

ME
Then do something useful. We’ve got our own drama to worry about.

MAKAYLA
Well sorry I wasn’t giving drama I was just speaking but whatever

ME

Shhh, we’re still stranded in bumblefuck with no way out.
