"No…it can't be!" Matsuda said, hitting the steering wheel. Now that he was actually looking for the place, he couldn't find it.
He pulled out his phone and dialed Aizawa's number.
"Hello?" The voice crackled.
"I need help. Could you look up this town for me?" Matsuda said, rattling off the town's name.
There was silence on the line as Aizawa typed it into the computer. "Okay, now do you know where you are?"
"I just went passed this little town…" He gave that name to Aizawa as well.
"Well, you went the wrong way when you practically pulled out of your parking lot, so now you're nearly a half-a-day away from your destination."
Matsuda was quiet, his mouth twisted into a scowl, "please tell me you're not being serious."
"I'm always serious. Now, do you have paper and a pen? I'll give you the directions quickly, because I need to finish this paperwork before I can go home. You even distract me when you're not even here."
"Well, I would have been less likely to bother you if you had just let me off Friday. But no, you had to let me off Saturday. And not just Saturday, but you also had to let me off in the afternoon. And now it's eight o'clock."
"No, the real reason that you're bothering me is because you were too lazy to look up the directions while you were still at home. But you were just hoping that your love would guide you."
"Aizawa, be quiet…"

"Aw, damn Matsuda, there goes my vote," Meli said, crumbling up her piece of paper and throwing it into the trash. She was throwing out every person's vote whose date had passed.
Sayu swept the floor while Meli wrote down votes, since the deadline had ended Friday. Sayu occasionally had to sweep up any stray paper that missed the trashcan.
Meli suddenly let out a small scream, making Sayu nearly jump out of her skin. "What? What is it?"
"Well, first off, I want to know why you don't have a vote in here. And second off, I want to know why Boss has a vote," Meli waved the little slip around.
"There's money involved. That's why," Sayu gave a small smile, "What date did he say?"
"Sunday, 5:00 p.m." Meli's eyes narrowed, "Why exactly five o'clock? I wonder if Boss knows something we don't," she tipped her nose into the air, "If he does, then he's cheating."
Sayu put the broom in the closet, then she pulled on her coat and hat. "Are you ready to go?"
"Hm? Oh, yeah, let me get my coat."

"This is so not fair, and I'm blaming everything on you, Aizawa, since you didn't let me off on Friday," Matsuda said to nobody.
He stood in the middle of a hotel room, with his arms folded and a grimace on his face.
"That is indeed the last time I never look up the directions first."
