Qua Cola and Favors
456 day untils final report. Recently in the past...
Greg wraps up another day at the car wash. He sighs as the last car drives away. He takes a photo from his pocket. On it, is the Crystal Gems, Steven, and himself.
"I'm sorry," he sighs, putting the photo back in his pocket, "I failed you. I'm so sorry."
Greg sits down and takes a deep breath. He had searched high and low for Steven, but he has failed. No matter how he searched, he couldn't find Steven. He was at his wits ends, and searching didn't pay the bills. Greg had no choice but to give up his search. If only someone else could search for him.
Today was the day he would find that person. That person drove a green bus, with Qua Cola on it. "Greg," Marty greets coldly stepping out of the bus.
"Marty?" Greg asks, "what are you doing here?"
"Got some thing going with Qua Cola," Marty explains, "going across the coast so decided to go up loose ends. I'm legally obligated to give you this."
Marty hands Greg an envelope.
Greg opens it.
"Oh my God!" He exclaims.
"Yeah," Marty replies, "anyways, I'm off to whatever town is next, all they really told me was Ocean Town is last. See ya later."
"Before you go," Greg asks, "can you do me one last favor?"
"What's in it for me?"
"How about a cool million?" Greg asks.
"You have my attention."
"Listen, my son, Steven Universe, he was kidnapped some years ago. He has a pink gem where his belly button should be. If you find him on your Qua Cola thing, I'll pay you. Deal?"
"Works for me. Now, I gotta go Greg. See ya."
"Thanks Marty."
"Don't thank me," Marty smirks, "thank that cool million you promised."
Marty gets on the bus and drives away. Greg looks up at the sky, with a glimmer of hope. Hope, that Steven is still alive...
