"I just arrived at the second location."
"Can you go in the florist shop too? Just to over hear their conversation."
"What if she sees me?"
"It wouldn't matter, she doesn't know what you look like."
"But she doesn't know what you look like too. Why aren't you doing this?"
"Because I'm preparing for the final location."
"Yeah right. I'm pretty sure you're just too lazy. Anyways, she entered in the shop."
"Enter like ten seconds after her. You wouldn't want to creep her out."
"Right."
"1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10. Okay, go now."
"Haha, I find it funny how you actually counted out loud."
"Ha. ha. Very. Funny. Do you see her?"
"Jeez, calm down. Yes, she's at the front desk, asking for Janice."
"Put speaker phone, I wanna hear her."
"Fine, but I'm getting paid for this, right?"
"Sure if you want, just go on speaker phone."
*speaker phone*
"JANICE?!!!? Yes, this lady--"
"My name is Autumn."
"Autumn, is looking for you."
"Coming!"
"She'll be here in a second. Anything else I can do for you?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'm on a sort of treasure hunt that my... guy set up for me."
"Your boyfriend?"
"I think so...?"
"Well, good luck."
"Thanks!"
"Hello, I'm Janice."
"Hey Janice. Finn told me to ask for you."
"Ahhh, yes. You have to go get the only thing in here that's 20$. Don't worry, it's already paid for."
"Okay, thank you! This is so exciting."
*off speaker phone*
"Okay, you're off speaker phone now."
"That was kinda confusing."
"You heard well?"
"Sorta."
"Now she's walking down the aisles and looking at the prices."
"This might take a while."
"You're such an encouraging guy."
"What can I say..."
"She just spotted the cookie stand in the shop."
"I knew she was bright."
"You've got a lot of faith in her..."
"Of course I do."
"Okay, she found the 20$ box."
"Good."
"She's opening it. She just found the little paper tucked in the box."
"Great!"
"She's reading it now."
"Awesome! Everything's going according to plan. You're doing a good job."
"I know! Aren't I the best!"
"Shhh..."
"What's on the next clue again?"
"'Order something that always makes you feel better, especially when you're sick. Hint: it starts with a C and ends with a P.'"
"Oh! Clever!"
"Right?!"
"Actually, nah...I don't get it, sorry..."
"That's okay. As long as she understands."
"I think she does, she's smiling."
"Oh yay!"
"Oh shoot!"
"What?"
"..."
"Lydia?"
*call ended*
