the Party arrives at the towns local store

Manager: can i help you kids?

Madison: Hey! You sell bleach?

Manager: Oh no is this one of those internet challenges?

As he ranted, Madison rolls her eyes in annoyance

Madison rolls her eyes in annoyance

Madison: We're looking for a guy who works in Apex Cybernetics. Buy a lot of bleach, like every night?

Alex: He's probably paranoid, doesn't like daylight, y'know he has a lot crumbs in his beard *gets elbowed by Madison* Aye! Okay, I'll shut up.

Manager: Alright, if you kids like some candy? I'll give you candy

Madison: Look at me in the eye! We need information--!

Luke: Yeah! We need some candy! *handed a dollar*

The Party looked at him with confusion

Madison: What are you doing?

Luke: um...

Manager: oooh, Bernie! You're lookin for Bernie!

Michael: *whispers* Maddie, is that the guy?

Madison: Mhm

Alex: Yeah! Yeah! Do you have any chance to know where he is? It'll be kind offer from you. *to Luke and mutters* Nice job Luke

Manager: I think he's in his room

Madison: and where is that room?

they enter a basement

Madison: Bernie!? Bernie!? *knocks the door*

Bernie: who is it?? I don't want any visitors, beat it!

Alex: Uh huh, look we wanted to talk to you!!

Bernie: who are you kids anyway

Madison: I'm Madison Russell, my father works for Monarch and so as my mother--

Bernie: *comes out of the door* Madison Russell? From the Battle of Boston? Daughter of Mark and Emma Russell?

The Party flinches as he got out of his room and they nodded in response, later the Party along with Bernie went to a bar to discuss

Bernie: before we begin, tap or no tap?

The Party except Billy: Tap

Billy: I'm sorry what...? What is Tap-

Bernie: water

Billy: Oh, okay

Madison: they put fluoride in it, makes you docile

Alex: Docile like a Titan

Tracy: Mhm

Billy: oh uh, i drink tap water

Bernie: Yeah, I kinda figure that. But they doesn't think about you so that should be alright

The Party smiles at him

Billy: Er, thanks

Maddison: so, Bernie, i believe Godzilla's attack was not random *She leans in, putting her elbow at Michael's shoulder*

Bernie: I'm of the same opinion

Tracy: But why?

Bernie: for the past 2 years i've embedded myself in this company, trying to find out their game was, Then, last week, I saw this *he pulls out a USB*

Tracy: what is it?

Bernie: a manifest of huge cargo from here to Apex's headquarters in Hong Kong, which makes no sense since we're not fully equipped for heavy shipping.

Jack: then what happened?

Bernie: and then BOOM, Godzilla comes in and trashes the place, but I got a sneak peek of some very suspicious tech inside a secret bunker

Michael: *notices the gun pouch in his person* umm, what is that?

Bernie pulled out from the gun pouch: a whiskey flask.

Bernie: it's my flask

Michael: in a gun holster?

Bernie: it's from my Sarah...my wife, she passed on..she was my rock..my truth..

The Party looked sad for him, Alex looking like he was about to cry

Alex: oh, it's SO SAD WAAAHH!!! *Cries*

Madison: Bernie, I think we can go eachother...

Jack: now that we're a team, what should we do?

Madison: we're breaking into Apex!

The Party begun to leave

Bernie: you heard her, Tapwater *taps Billy's shoulder*

Billy: shit..

Billy followed the Party and Bernie
