Principles Office, Blackwell Academy, Arcadia Bay Oregon, October 9th, 2013, 12:11 AM
James and Price stood in silence staring at the door they have been trying to get into for who knows how long. Eventually, Chloe broke the silence
"Maybe I could try picking the lock?" she asked James simply stared at her
"Did you not see me trying to pick the damn door for two straight minutes? Besides where the hell did you learn how to lockpick?! He finally asked
"Frank taught me" Price responded,
"Frank? as in Franklin Bowers, that worthless good for nothing drug dealer who lives in that shitbox he calls an RV?! He taught YOU of all people how to pick a lock?" James said bewildered
"Why the hell do you care who I learned it from Sherlock, it's not like you were gonna. He taught me when we were hanging out" She shot back getting irritated
"You mean when he was supping you with dope.." James clarified
"Would you shut the fuck up?! God, you sound like my Step-prick" Price sighed exasperatedly. James rubbed his temples
"You know what Chloe? I no longer give a damn" He gestured to the door "Be my guest, I want to see what that scumbag taught you" Price flipped him off and proceeded to use James' 'lockpick' to make an attempt on the door.
"What do you have against Frank anyways?" Chloe asked
"What? besides the fact that he is a prick who sells drugs to students here, that I know he sells to people like Nathan Prescott who then distributes all that shit to everyone at his fucking parties. He's also a complete prick" James explained "If it weren't for the fact that he is a really useful asset to have, I would have reported that son of a bitch to the police years ago"
"Useful? useful how?" Price inquired
"Frank sells to virtually everyone in town. That means he knows virtually everyone in town. All I have to do is use him and his connections to find the right information I want" James further clarified
"You are one cold, calculated motherfucker you know that Sherlock?" Price commented "I guess I see what you mean. Frank did pull a knife on me and Max" Chloe shrugged
"he did WHAT?" James exclaimed shocked by the information and Price's complete calmness about it
"It was yesterday at the Junkyard, you would've seen it first hand if you didn't bail like a loser" Price joked.
"Now I'm actually glad I didn't stick around at American Rust yesterday," James thought to himself. A minute passed but it seemed like an hour, Price was still attempting to pick open the door getting more and more frustrated with every failed attempt to open it
"If I can get this bastard open she can't cheat with her rewind... This is bullshit! Fuck you, door!" James finally had enough with the mystery
"What 'rewind' What the actual fuck are you talking about?!" James asked confused.
"You didn't get it when I told you? Max can rewind time, its as simple as that" Price tried explaining.
James was about to ask again but Caulfield came walking into the room holding something in her hand
"Let's try this instead" It looked like a soda can but he couldn't really make out any other minute details in the dark "Boom Literally" She said with a grin.
Price stood up and got excited "Yes! Time to blow shit up!"
James stood shocked "A fucking bomb? Are you insane?! you wanna add acts of terrorism to the list of felonies we've committed!?" James began overthinking all of the consequences of this action "I should have just stayed in bed" were among some of those thoughts
"Hey Sherlock. Calm your tits" Price said jokingly
"You guys want to blow the damn door fine! as soon as that alarm goes off I'm getting the fuck out of here!" James said walking out of the room and hiding against the wall. He waited for the explosion which did come after a couple of seconds of waiting. Then he waited for the alarm to go off immediately, to his surprise it hadn't gone off, instead he heard Price and Caulfield celebrating. But soon quickly the Fire alarm went off.
"WHY AM I NOT FUCKING SURPRISED!" James yelled, giving up on being quiet "Uh, so what should we do?" Price asked raising her voice to be heard over the wailing alarm. Caulfield walked into the office and for seemingly no reason raised her right hand into the air.
Price was still attempting to pick open the door getting more and more frustrated with every failed attempt to open it
"If I can get this bastard open she can't cheat with her rewind... This is bullshit! Fuck you, door!" James finally had enough with the mystery
"What 'rewind' What the actual fuck are you talking about?!" James asked confused.
"You didn't get it when I told you? Max can rewind time, its as simple as that" Price tried explaining.
James was about to ask again but Caulfield opened the door they were trying to open
"Welcome to my domain" She said with a smirk on her face
"What the- H-How the fuck did you get in there?!" James stood bewildered trying to think of any way possible she could have gotten into the office by not going through the door. Price seemed just as amazed
"You are magic! I have no clue how the hell you got in there, but you did it, sista!" Grabbing Caulfield's arms but letting go as just quickly and then heading inside.
