"Its really early in the morning, so we shouldn't have to worry about people seeing us and calling the cops or something." Chase remarked as the four walked down the sidewalk, the sun starting to rise over the horizon.
"Robbie like light, Robbie no see light in long time." Robbie giggled as he stretched his hand up as far as he could, the zombie standing on his tip toes so his fingers could touch the rays of sunlight.
Chase smirked as he abruptly lifted the zombie up, setting him on his shoulders so Robbie could see the sun better.
"Damn, and I thought I was the strong superhero guy." Seán chuckled, Chase rolling his eyes.
"I never really asked, but who were those people in the picture on your table?" Seán asked, Chase's smile instantly fading as he kept walking.
"It was a picture of my family...it was taken before Stacy decided she hated me and left with the kids." Chase admitted, JJ writing on his notepad.
I consider you guys as my family, and I wouldn't want it any other way.
"God, why you gotta be so nice?" Chase sniffed, his eyes welling up with tears as Robbie reached down and held Chase's hand, Seán playfully nudging Chase in the side with his elbow.
The four fell silent as they arrived at the Brighton Pier, a large black gate locking them out.
"Let's do this." Seán grunted as he leapt at the gate, scaling it before flipping over it to land on the other side.
"Nice!" Chase cheered, Seán bowing with a grin as he unlocked the gate, swinging it open to allow Chase, JJ, and Robbie inside.
"Robbie see shiny!" Robbie yelled, pointing at the ferris wheel.
Chase let Robbie down so he could stumble over to the ferris wheel, the zombie jumping up and down while pointing at the top.
"He put it on top of the ferris wheel, didn't he?" Seán sighed in exasperation, JJ nodding grimly.
"We can just start it and then grab the card." Chase pointed out, JJ shaking his head as he gestured at the scars left on him from the computer malfunctioning.
"Fair point." Chase conceded, Seán taking a deep breath before climbing the different carts to reach the top.
"Be careful!" Chase shouted, Robbie standing below with his arms outstretched to catch Seán in case he fell.
"Don't look down, don't look down," Seán chanted as he climbed, gritting his teeth as his stomach churned.
"Got it." Seán breathed as he reached the top, shakily taking the card before crawling towards the edge to start his descent.
"You got all of the cards, congrats Possepticeye!"
Seán stiffened as the Ferris wheel started moving at a fast pace, the Irishman noticing Marvin standing in front of the controls with his hands covered in blood.
"How did you find us?" Chase snapped as he fired a shot at Marvin, the magician ducking underneath it with a grin.
"Robbie brought me right to you. Robbie, attack!" Marvin barked, the zombie staying back as Marvin easily dodged the shots from Chase and used his wand to send Chase flying down the pier.
"No, Robbie no want to." Robbie mumbled, Marvin rolling his eyes in irritation as he retrieved a small black remote out of his pocket.
Robbie whimpered in fear as he shrank back from the magician, JJ wrestling Marvin for the remote.
"Shocking, isn't it?" Marvin chuckled as he pressed a button on the remote, causing Robbie to fall to the ground as he was electrocuted.
"A little help here?!" Seán yelled as he clung onto the roof of the car he was on, afraid to let go.
JJ landed a punch on Marvin that made the magician stagger back in surprise, JJ smashing the remote.
"Where's Schneep you bastard?!" Chase demanded Marvin as he staggered to his feet, his gun aimed at the magician's head.
"You have all of the codes, figure it out yourself." Marvin taunted before throwing down a smoke bomb, abruptly disappearing while JJ stopped the ferris wheel.
"Thanks." Seán nodded in appreciation, his heart pounding loud in his ears as he looked at the card and began breaking the code on his phone.
"Robbie sorry." Robbie apologized with his head hung, JJ smiling sympathetically as he helped Robbie to his feet.
"How do you know how to hack anyway?" Chase prompted as he jogged over to the others, a large bruise forming on his forehead.
"I dunno, I guess it was something in the antiserum." Seán shrugged, letting out a relieved breath as he cracked the code.
Instead of a video, a piece of an address filled the screen, Seán frowning in confusion as he examined it.
JJ tapped Seán's shoulder to catch his attention as he gestured at the other cards, simultaneously writing in his notepad.
There might be other pieces of the address in the videos on these cards.
"Great idea!" Chase exclaimed as Seán analyzed the videos, Chase watching Robbie as the zombie leaned over the pier to play with the water while JJ helped Seán piece the address together.
"Got it! Schneep's at a magic store called Dragon's gate." Seán announced as he stuck his phone in his pocket.
"What if it's a trap?" Chase spoke up, pulling Robbie away from the pier to keep him from falling into the water.
"Oh I'm counting on it." Seán winked as he strode through the gate, Chase and JJ exchanging a confused look as they followed while dragging Robbie after them.
