An invitation for a party put on by the Kappa Alpha frat house appears on various university bulletin boards. It's slated to start at 6pm on Saturday with a different address in each city. Each leading to a recently or not-officially opened building.
"I think I can handle it. We should probably carry water around, actually, and food, I didn't think of that."
"Me and Stiles are from California too. Have you guys seen signs of anyone else, who might have brought us here?"
"Well I have a backpack, maybe we can find one for you too, or if we're keeping mostly to the paths we can bring stuff with us on a cargo-rack when biking or something."
"No, this place is eerily empty for how big it's looking to be. Do you have any idea how far you had to bike to get here?"
"It wasn't that bad. Kind of exhilarating. I probably won't be doing something like that again, though."
There's a bike store relatively close to the mall lobby. "Wow, these are really nice bikes." They are, they have disk brakes and good gear systems.
"I consider myself pretty fit but I wouldn't want to do that at a whim, so that's understandable."
"Sure." Riley side adjusts a bike to fit her and then attaches a cargo trailer. Then she consults the vague map she's drawn in one of her notebooks. "I'm ready when you are. First stop CVS."
CVS it is. Pain relief, vitamins, any ointments and creams and rubs that seem vaguely helpful...gum can't hurt, really.
"If we find any cameras, we're stopping. A phone doesn't cut it."
"I just went to look at the stores, couldn't have been a quarter mile. She must have gone in the other direction, I would have seen her."
"I think there might be a Best Buy on our route, they probably have a camera." Riley remounts her bike. Next stop Krogers.
"She could be anywhere by now, but she'll probably come back if she doesn't find anything- or gets hurt. There are three of you, maybe one could come with me?"
It's a grocery store, if she tried to grab the entire frozen dinners section they won't be able to transport it. Riley is more focused on picking up some spices and various staple foods. She wants the kitchen to be well stocked. "Do you think we're going to lose access to this place Maddie?"
