Lloyd sat up in his bed, flipping through a magazine.

His door was wide open, and he could hear Morro outside.

He was playing with ultra, throwing a stick around.

Lloyd sighed.

He flipped another page.

Suddenly, the sound of a phone filled the room.

Lloyd grabbed the phone, hoping it wasn't another prank caller.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Lloyd! Its Kai-" he heard someone shout something in the background. "Say, uh..do you wanna go to The Crispy Biquiet at 7 tonight?"

Lloyd raised an eyebrow. "I don't know Kai-"

"It's important."

Lloyd looked towards the doorway, hearing the back door open, with its usual creak.

"I'll...ask Wu," Lloyd said. "If I'm not at our usual spot by 7:10 assume I'm not going."

"Got it, we'll meet you there."

With that, the phone was hung up.

Lloyd placed it back into its spot, and opened his magazine-

"Who was that?"

Lloyd turned, spying his cousin in the doorway, hands-on his hips.

"A friend."

"Was it Kai?"

Lloyd blinked.

"You used to hang out with him all the time before I left."

Lloyd closed the magazine.

"It was Kai," Lloyd replied. "He asked me out."

Morro blinked. "On a date-"

"No! No, he and I are friends."

Morro frowned.

"I'm serious."

Morro rolled his eyes. "You want me to cover for you?"

"I'm not sneaking out," Lloyd said, hopping off the bed. "I'm asking Wu."

Morro watched as Lloyd walked past him.

"Dude, have you ever snuck out before?"

"Nope." Lloyd replied, popping the 'p'.

Lloyd came down the stairs.

"Wu," Lloyd called out. "Can I go to The Crispy Biscuit with Kai tonight?"

"Sure, just be back by eight."

"Can I drive him?" Morro called.

Lloyd paused, turning to him.

Morro was on the stairs, grinning.

No reply came from Wu.

"Drive?" Lloyd began. "You don't even have a car."

Morro scoffed. "Do I?"

With that, Morro bolted down the stairs and grabbed Lloyd's wrist.

"C'mon, I'll show you the light of my life." He said, rather enthusiastically.

The two ran to the back, and Morro grabbed the handle for the shed door.

He pulled the door up.

"May I introduce you to," He paused, turning the light on. "Echo!"

Lloyd stared.

"Dude, there's nothing there."

Morro paused, turning to the empty garage.

"What the fuck-" Morro paused. "Wu! Where's my car?"

"What?"

"Where's my damn car!"

Lloyd heard silence.

With that, Wu stepped out, a solemn look on his face.

"I...had to sell it."

"What-"

"We fell into debt Morro! What was I supposed to do?"

"I don't know, not sell my car maybe?!"

Lloyd stared, as Morro took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have yelled."

Wu shook his head.

"You are right, I probably shouldn't have sold it," Wu paused. "Maybe you can convince Ronin to give it back-"

"You sold my car to Ronin! WHAT THE F-"

"Who's ronin?" Lloyd asked.

"Ronin. The chief of police and he's been a stick up my ass ever since I came to this wretched town," Morro paused. "I should've known that he'd try and get back at me for egging his house."

Lloyd shook his head.

"Why would he want your car anyways?" Lloyd muttered.

"Ah, you see there was nothing' like em'," Morro said. "He was a GTO 64..black paint job...black leather seats...a radio that picks up every station nearby...one that never goes static." Morro paused. "But the engine...that was what was unique about him…"

Morro growled.

"I swear to my-" He paused. "God, if he hurt him-"

"You act like the car was a real person."

Morro and Wu were silent.

Lloyd blinked.

"Okay, I'm leaving now, bye."

Lloyd shoved his hands into his pockets, opened the gate, and left.

Wu looked at his son, sighing.

"Follow him."

Morro scoffed.

"Why do you think I offered to drive him?"
