Chapter 433 - 30

Once inside the mall, you park yourself in front of a directory and turn towards the others.

"When I saw Rex, or when I thought I saw him, he was wearing a letterman jacket," you tell them. "It looked exactly like his, from what I could tell, like it was a little too big for him and it had all those patches on the arms. I think Ennis must have given him Rex's actual jacket."

"We're not going to be able to buy one of those here, you know," Diego says.

"We don't need to," you explain. "We just need to find something that has a similar lining on the inside, rip part of it out, and say we found it torn off on a fallen branch. Oh, and we need to make it smell like Rex's jacket."

Diego, Addy, and Kirill stare at each other, then at you.

"Excuse me?" Addy says.

"Like menthols," Anuja clarifies for you. "He kept them hidden in the inside pocket of his jacket. I saw him get caught once, but he barely got in trouble."

"So you're going to go up to Ashley and be like, 'Hey, smell this fabric'?" Diego asks.

"Not in that creepy way, no," you say. "We're looking for some kind of black quilted jacket lining."

"It's nylon," Addy says. "We ought to be able to find something like that at one of these stores. I'm not buying it for you, though. I also really don't feel like shoplifting."

"Just find something cheap, and I'll buy it," you tell them, though the thought of having to spend money on this bothers you.

"I don't know," Diego says. "Won't Ashley be able to tell it's not the real thing?"
