TXT: 🌭

TXT: 😄 Okay, okay. Be safe!

Connor carefully tucks the phone away so it can't get dropped onto the road.

Now, for WIND IN HIS FACE! BEST CAR RIDE EVER!

Another text, this time to Gerd. TXT: Hey you! Hate to be a pest, but any chance you're available to give me a lift?

TXT: Sure. My boyfriend is on a project. Gwen's trying to gget me to pimp out Eddie. Uncle Vali has gone ninja. And I'm feeling boring and left out. You at DG?

A pause

then a voice in nthe hallway "WHere can I find the Bridge?"

"Here, Gerd! Hang on!" She grabs her things (she's already said goodbye to Colton before he went on duty) and goes out to meet her. "Thanks for this."

"No problem, I visit here some anyway, Wudlig uses it as his HQ. Shall we go?"

"Of course. And yeah, let's go."

And they vanish.. to the farm

Meanwhile vali steps out of an alley near a grocey store "Hello? Knigh's heart?"
