A bunch more nopes, and then Raye mentioned, “Even if we could turn it on, it’s not like the offending videos are gonna start playing. It’s probably password protected.”
This was true.
All the Angels’ shoulders drooped.
“If I can get it juiced up and plug that baby up to a modem, I bet Brody could work some magic,” Ally noted.
“A modem?” Willow asked.
“Aw, isn’t the next gen so cute?” Roxie joked.
“I’d have no idea where to even buy a non-wireless modem, but I bet Clarice has something we could use at her office,” Raye pointed out.
“You can buy a modem practically anywhere that sells shit with plugs,” Ally said. “But get on the line with Clarice. Let’s get this to her. I’ll get in touch with Brody. See if he can pull off a long-distance miracle.”
“Me, Willow and Raye aren’t off for a few hours,” Luna told her.
“Well, then it’s good we got a rental car,” Indy replied. “We can head out and get started.”
At that, there were smiles all around.
Avenging Angels and Rock Chicks on the move!
“Wait, before I go, I wanna know what’s got the greater probability of being blown up? This phat coffee place that sells booze? Or this Clarice lady’s digs?” Annette demanded.
“My guess, wherever the laptop is,” Shanti told her.
“Then I’m staying here,” Annette decided. She then looked to Jessie. “You were talkin’ cocktails?”
Ally, Indy and Roxie went to their car with the laptop.
Annette went to the bar.
Tex went to the coffee cubby.
The Angels had a quick confab.
“We need a computer guru,” Raye pointed out the obvious.
“Cody’s supposed to be good with computers,” Jessie said.
“He’s on the wrong team,” Luna replied.
She was so competitive.
“Now, he is,” Raye said. “But Ally can get us Brody for this case. We gotta figure out how to butter Cody up should we need him in the future.”
“He’s a little young for my butter,” Luna noted.
She was right. Cody was in his early twenties.
“I’m never buttering anyone again,” Willow announced.
“Aw, Will, don’t say that,” Shanti murmured. Then she noticed we were all looking at her. That was when she stated, “I don’t butter white bread.”
Hmm.
“Maybe you can butter Liam’s bread and then he can get Cody to be our computer guru,” Raye suggested.
