FIFTEEN

LEMON BOY

OLIVER FELT as though they had been driving for ages.

After a while, his legs felt cramped so instead he moved so he was sitting in the area in front of Mike and Will with his stretched out.

The boy was slightly shocked at how spacious it was considering it was a van.

"Should be up on our right." Mike said, Oliver wanted to scoff at the sound of his voice.

Oliver hated the fact Mike was so oblivious to Will's confession hours prior. It was so obvious with the way Will was silent that he was upset.

Oliver wanted to comfort him but he didn't know how.

"There's nothing out here."

The van jitters throwing Oliver to the side as he didn't have a seatbelt on.

"You good?" Will asked him as the brunette rubbed his head.

"All good."

Argyle wakes up, "mmm, we there already?"

"Already? It's been nine hours."

"It's gotta be around here somewhere."

"What exactly are we looking for here, my dudes?"

"Some sort of facility."

"A fence. A building."

"Weird scientists."

"Any sighs of life would be nice." Johnathon said.

"Since when did we decide Nina was a building and not a small woman?" Argyle asked. "Sounds like a small woman to me."

"Like ant sized woman or just really short like five foot?" Oliver asked.

"It's not a small woman." Mike told the two.

"An ant sized woman would be hard to see in this desert." Argyle said.

"What if we ran her over already?" Oliver asked.

"Then we'd never find Nina." Argyle said.

"How is he still high?" Will asked Oliver, the brunette shrugged, grinning.

"Sure you got your measurements right?" Johnathon asked.

"Yes, they're right."

"Double sure?" Oliver asked.

"You're 100% right?" Johnathon asked again.

"Yes and yes."

"Maybe the latitude and longitude are wrong."

Will checked the map and gestured for Oliver to do the same.

"I can't I suck at geography, I have a three in it."
