Brothers pt.25

Mr. & Mrs. Richardson took Leila back to the Manor to get some sleep. Mr. & Mrs. Richardson went back downstairs & saw both Mr. Phillips was also awake.

Mr. Phillips: Can’t sleep?

Mr. Richardson: Nope.

Mrs. Richardson: Where’s...

Mr. Phillips: She wanted to get her beauty rest.

If there’s one thing she can do during a hurricane it’s sleeping.

Mr. Richardson: That’s talent.

Mrs. Richardson: I hate to even mention this, but do you think the wedding plans will still push through for tomorrow. I mean the kids went through hell today.

Mr. Phillips: I’d say let’s leave that up to the kids. Both Vance & Leila are strong individuals. They can power through together.

Mr. Richardson: And we’ll be right there with them.

Meanwhile, just as James & Liam went on their own mission, the bridesmaids took it upon themselves to go see what they could do. The detectives were already doing so much & the girls were told to stay out of the way, but they didn’t listen. They went to the scene of the crime which was the karaoke lounge. The cops were already there & got booted out. They were bummed so they decided to head out to their hotel & wait for any news.

Liam: So... You love my sister.

James: With all my heart.

Liam: You know when I first met Vance, I thought he was a douche bag.

James: And when you met me?

Liam: Pretty much the same.

Both guys laugh.

Liam: But I will say this. You’re the one out here & Vance isn’t. And that says a lot.

James: Hey! Do you see that?

Liam: Where?

James: Up ahead... Pull over.

Liam & James came across a tent city/homeless community.

Liam: It’s a homeless encampment.

James: We’re not to far from where the assault happened. Maybe someone saw something.

As they walked through tent city they were solicited for drugs, money, sex, a simple light for a cigarette. They saw a few people gathered by a fire.

Liam: Hey, it sure is a cold night.

Bum: Got any money?

Liam: Yeah, but first help me out.

Bum: I don’t bend that way, but I got a friend a couple tents down.

Liam: No, no, no. I need help finding someone.

Bum: Keep talkin’...

James: Wait, do we know what he looks like.

Liam: Yeah, the news report was just released & it included his sketch from Leila’s report. I screenshot it.

Liam showed the screenshot to the bum & he did say he came to the encampment & switched clothes with someone.

James: Do you know who?

Bum: No, but it’s probably gonna be some kind of suit type of outfit he’s got on.

Liam: Ok, thanks. Oh here...

He hands the bum a $50 & the bum goes off running with it.

James: Lets find this guy. Can’t be too hard.

They looked at the encampment & there must’ve been dozens of tents.
