When you enter Larry’s Sporting Goods, a little bell above the door jingles, but there’s no one there to welcome you. In fact, there’s no one to be seen at all.
You spot a phone charger plugged in near the register, so you decide to plug your phone in and browse the store while you wait for Larry to show up. If anyone has seen Paige today, it has to be Larry. He never misses a day in his store.
You walk around, checking out some of the new boards. Larry’s might be off the beaten path, but it definitely has the best skating stuff. Next to the shoes, there’s also a stack of SK8BOARDER’S WEEKLY, dated today. Yep, Paige was definitely here.
Larry finally comes out of the back room, balancing a huge stack of shoe boxes. He puts them on the floor and wipes his hands on his hips. “Hey, Andie! Can I help you?”
“Yeah. I’m looking for Paige. I can’t find her anywhere.”
He looks away for a moment. “Yeah, uh, I think she dropped by early. She said something about heading over to Crooked Creek Park.”
“Crooked Creek Park?” You frown. “Why would she go there?”
“She said something about a five-stair heel flip,” Larry replies, and then heads back to the supply room. Hmmm. You get the sneaking suspicion there’s something he’s not telling you.
What do I need to grab?
