~The Next Day~
"Hey, guys," Ray's lips curved upwards in a smile at the sight of Barbara and Cislo. Barbara had grown considerably tall, with her hair reaching below her hips. Her face looked more feminine and her lashes had become more prominent, giving her golden eyes a pop. Cislo appeared more muscular and his chubby face was transformed to a well sculpted one.
"Hey, guys! How are you?" Emma chimed in, bringing the two in a hug.
"Awesome as always! How's your first year of high-school going for y'all?" Barbara grinned.
"It's going great. What about you guys? How's college?" Norman took a seat on the couch.
"It's kinda hard for me to adjust, especially when it's my second year. As for Barbara, she is managing well," Cislo spoke, resting his elbow on the headrest of the couch.
"What are your plans for this summer?" Emma questioned passing them a plate of cookies.

"We should have told them first, huh?" Cislo chuckled under his breath.
"Told us what?" Ray's brows creased as he sipped on his lemonade.
Cislo pulled out his laptop from his bag and placed it on the table. For a while, he typed away and then looked up to meet their eager gazes. A grin plastered itself on his face, "We have a lead on Boss."
The room went silent as the three teenagers took their time to process his words. Ray swallowed the lump that formed in his throat. We have hope.
He immediately shot up from his seat and walked to Cislo to get a glimpse of his laptop. Emma and Norman followed after and leaned from Barbara's side.
