[color=35996B]“Oh you know, just hiding,”[/color] Archer said, proffering an open pack of smokes from his pocket and offering them to Declan. He gratefully accepted, sliding one of cigs from the small box and placing it between his lips.

[color=35996B]“What’s more interesting is what [i]you[/i] are doing Dekkie? Skulking around in the dark spying on the devil?”[/color] Declan gave an amused snort, fishing through his pockets for a lighter. Wallet, keys... ah, there it was. 

[color=35996B]“Did someone send you on a mission? Or was it purely out of admiration?”[/color] Declan half choked on the cigarette hanging from his lips, coughing small puffs of smoke and pounding on his chest like an idiot at a CPR lesson. 

[color=c1a259]‘You wound me, Archie,’[/color] he gasped. [color=c1a259]‘I gotta admit, I don’t know cars from their back wheel to… their other wheels, but even I know that thing is tacky,’[/color] he said, and flicked his cig hand to indicate the Devil’s lambo. [color=c1a259]‘I’m searching for the man himself, actually. Penelope sent me looking for him… something about drugging old Gomez.’[/color] He paused for a second, in thought. [color=c1a259]‘A plan that sounds laughably illegal, now that I think about it, even with the power of our parents’ attorneys and fat stacks behind us.’[/color]

Archer seemed to be looking over his shoulder at something, and Declan turned to see the mission objective leaning against a tree ten feet from the car he’d just been investigating. Accompanied by Penelope. Declan wrinkled his nose. 
[color=c1a259]‘Well, I guess I’m no detective. Looking for people is harder than it looks.’[/color]

He turned away from the scene to see Archer’s keen eyes staring intently at him, although veiled slightly behind the haze of smoke.
[color=35996B]‘Or are you simply hiding as well?’[/color] The other boy smirked.

Declan’s snarky reply was cut short by the sudden arrival of a tiny blonde girl, making up for her size with an explosion of venom and a hefty shove at Santiago. 

[color=FFB6C1]“Hey! Asshole. How about the next time you try to pull that kind of stunt you buy me dinner first? Because that shit was not kosher. I have no idea what was going on in that idiot brain of yours, but not all of us are drug-addled losers who want to flunk out of school, got it?”[/color]

Declan gave a sly side-smile to Archer and slunk back, leaning against the wall beside him. 

[color=c1a259]‘She looks soo pissed,’[/color] he laughed. [color=c1a259]‘Time to sit back and watch the fireworks.’[/color]
