As the bodyguard slowly stirred, the first thing he saw was Madfist's kindly, if scrawny face.
"You're…"
He was still dazed at first, before he smacked himself in the head.
Then, scrambling to whip out his phone, he cried, "Wait! Someone just said they saw Frank Lawrence. I need to tell Mr. Droitner…"
"Kid."
Madfist held up his phone, chuckling. "You suddenly passed out, and you broke your phone when you dropped it."
"What?!" The bodyguard stared blankly as he took back his phone and saw the hairline cracks all over the screen.
"Well, how about this, kiddo?" Madfist smiled. "I'll take you where you'd like to go—although you're paying me a fare."
The bodyguard did a double take, but he soon smiled gratefully, almost wondering why Madfist was so oddly nice.
"Well… Thank you very much! I need to tell Mr. Droitner that Frank Lawrence is at the exhibition hall right away…"
He then mused to himself for a moment before looking up and exclaiming, "Why don't you take me to Mr. Droitner's coastal mansion? I'll pay you a hundred… No, two hundred!"
"Two hundred? Deal!"
Madfist chuckled. "But I have no idea where that is, so you'll have to give me directions!"
Half an hour later, they arrived at Huub's coastal mansion.
Johnny alighted excitedly to get his reward, only for the bodyguards standing outside to stop him. "What are you doing here?! You're not allowed in here!"
"I found Frank Lawrence!" Johnny exclaimed urgently. "I came to tell Mr. Droitner!"
"Tell Mr. Droitner?"
The bodyguards were taken aback before frowning in confusion. "Mr. Droitner has already left for the exhibition hall! And couldn't you call if you saw Frank Lawrence?!"
"Uh… My phone broke," Johnny explained, scratching his head and sighing in frustration. "Ugh. I rushed here, but I'm still too late."
