Mark loudly slammed the door of Louise's old sports car. The interior is made out of leather which is slowly falling apart. Despite Mark having a feeling that something serious had happened, he arrogantly decided to pull a dumb joke; "Did you get someone pregnant now?" 

"It's Layla", Louise didn't hear what Mark said, his car roared as he rammed, hoping the engine would get hot faster; 

"They found a lead on Layla", Louise switches the gear and stomps the accelerator, poor Mark looks obviously confused. He then hurriedly wears his seatbelt and holds on for his dear life while Louise sped off with a stern look on his face. 

The worn-down maroon colour car flashes through the road heading toward a rundown urban neighbourhood, which the riches would call a 'pests' nest. Beautiful yet scary nature are taking over the whole unmaintained neighbourhood, giving an uncanny aura. The look from the residents are wearily toward them, some even hide their children behind them. Louise parks his car directly in front of the door of a big warehouse with multiple scary-looking men all patrolling the building. The two men guarding the front door give a nod to each other and open the door. Louise immediately left his car and headed straight inside, "OI, YOU DIDN'T LOCK IT" the useful Mark yells. 

Louise throw his car keys to Mark and went inside, Mark followed him after locking the car. The warehouse is massive on the inside, the first floor is completely open and has tons of crates staking on each other. The second floor however has a lot of room with only two stairs heading up,, "So what you... got a girl pregnant—?", Mark said as he gasped for air. 

Louise ignored him, he asks a guy who was smoking by the stairs for Evan. The guy pointed upstairs and he huffs out the smoke, 'so his room...' Louise thought and went straight up. Mark continue his sentences, "—and the girl you got pregnant...she has the same name as your sister?—" 

"What?!", Louise turns around to see Mark's idiot face covered in sweat. Both of them stare at each other for a whole minute with dumbfounded faces, and finally, Louise's brain clicked. "For god sake Mark", he rubs his forehead.

"Yeah, I thought it was really weird why would you—", Mark wipes his sweat off and fan himself. "Damn It's hot"

"Mark shut up, they found a lead on my sister, Layla".

A light bulb can be seen on Mark's head, "OOOOH- I mean that makes a lot more sense cause—"

"Mark shut up"

Inside the big and wide room, a worn-down table could be seen at the end of the room. A buff guy sitting in the middle of the table, barely covering himself, with big tattoos on his arms and neck, with a scar on his chin like a stereotypical gangster; , "Louise...", The buff guy greets them. 

Louise walked toward Evan and waste to time for greetings, he asked, "Where." Evan signals all of his men to get out, he reaches into his pocket and hands Louise a USB. Mark greeted Evan but he ignored him. The atmosphere turned cold as Louise inspected the item in his hand, and he asks, "What's in this?"

"it's a video—" 

"of Layla?" Louise cuts off Evan's words. Evan stares coldly at Louise, he reaches for a box of expensive cigarettes from the table. He places one in his mouth and lights it up. He advises Louise to look at its content when he's alone, his words make Louise feel suspicious but also concerned at the same time. 

Louise frowns, questioning the content in the object, 'what the hell does this shit have?'. Mark sees Louise's frown face and pats his back. He simply says that Evan, who he always calls 'big guy', is a tsundere and is embarrassed about showing Louise his hard work. Louise frowned even harder, actually he felt disgusted. Evan nods at Mark's reasoning, it wasn't true but it's enough to convince stubborn Louise. Louise let out a quiet sigh, "Is this all?" Evan huff out the smoke, "Yea, that's the only lead my guys got, they found it merely by chance". 

Louise raises suspicions, "where did they find this?" Evan calls for one of his men to come in, he whispers something in the guy's ear and they leave the room. The door open and a high schooler with a red shirt comes in, Evan shakes the kid's shoulder;

 "He's Roo, this kid found it on the internet, I guess we should do that from the start huh?" 

"If it were that easy, I would've found it myself," Louise said coldly and look at the frightened boy , "Where did you find this?". Louise's scary face made the boy shut his lips tight, I'd say he almost pissed his pants. 

Mark interrupts, "Loosen your face up, you might make the kid shit his pants" Mark laughs playfully.  Mark goes to the boy and grabs his shoulder with a smile on his face, he repeats Louise's question but his smile has a hint of threat. The red shirt boy was hesitant, and when he spoke he kept shuttering. Mark teases him by copying his stutter. He had enough of Mark's jokes, he muster all his courage to speak;

"On a website… porn website”

"I'll call you if I find anything else", Evan says while burning out his cigarette on the ashtray, he scans Louise and Mark's appearances. "Say, Louise, are you still up for it tonight?" They both turn around, asking what he means. Evan stretches his neck and lights another cigarette, "there's a race tonight, that guy uhh—" he scratches his head, "who wears 4' inch boots and has obnoxious car...." 

"Chris?" Louise guesses.

"Yeah that brat, I heard he's betting tons of money tonight. Probably went wild after winning a lot of races, you should go" Evan takes a deep huff, he added: "Doesn't hurt to earn a few bucks right? and Mark's business is doing shit anyway—" 

Mark cut in, "Don't expose me, big guy!". He looks at Mark, "and stop calling me big guy you midget". Mark felt offended and dramatically leaves the room while shouting like a madman, "I'M 5'7, YOU TITAN!" Louise stares at Evan before opening his mouth, "where". As always Evan replied, "the usual". 

Louise left the warehouse to see Mark pouting in front of his car, "He's the one that's too tall, I'm taller than the most average guy you know!", Mark said."You're just short," Louise said. For context, he's just 4 inches taller than Mark. "...bastard" Mark went inside the car and continued sulking, Louise scoffed and entered his car. Mark half look at him while Louise starts the engine, "Going back home?" 

"Why? Has the short guy wanna go home and cry in his room alone?", Louise teases. The salty Mark stays quiet and gives Louise a stink eye. Louise laugh, "We gonna pick up some cash." Suddenly Mark forgot about sulking, "Oh, you gonna race tonight, didn't you said you were busy with Layla? Getting a lead finally made you loosen up", Mark rubs the calluses on his hand. 

Louise thought for a while before answering, "I guess you can say that..."He looked at the USB one last time before putting it inside his pocket and drove away to the next destination. Mark opens the radio to fill the quietness in the car, still reporting about the earlier incident.
