Day 5: My Very Own Scooter

 I slept in a bit today, but when I got up, I went to the general store to find Detective Dan. I had a feeling he'd be there since he's been investigating the auctions. I told him I didn't notice anything suspicious. He said to just be on the lookout. He believes there's a crime ring here.

After talking with the detective, I went searching for Dusty Hogg. I stopped and chatted with Bucki Brock for a bit. When I told her I was searching for Dusty, she asked me to take an authentic outlaw hat to him. She says it was worn by Black Jesse Jones! Apparently, the last person didn't want it. How could you not want something so awesome??

I found Dusty after wandering around some more. He was impressed with my work. I told him I'd like to be a biker like him someday, and he offered to let me buy a scooter off of him like he used to ride if I did some work for him. I can't imagine a big, tough, guy like Dusty riding a scooter. That's not the point though. He asked me to paint his bike, take some cans to the Virtuchem lab, and keep slinging smoothies. All in a day's work. I gave him the hat too, and he was grateful. 

I have access to more of the town now, the bikes are no longer blocking the road and the roadblocks by Uncle Hayseed's are gone too. I explored a bit, looking for the lab. It was already 7pm by the time I got there. I was worried they'd be closed for the night, but I was wrong! They actually hadn't opened yet! They're one of those places that's open at night instead of during the day. So I just had to wait an hour to go in.

I turned in the cans and spoke to Dusty again. He delivered the scooter right to my place! I spoke to Uncle Hayseed to let him know the bikers were taken care of and he thanked me. Then he gave me some bad news. He said I need to find a place of my own so I'm not living in the barn. I think we both know that this summer holiday may end up being a bit more permanent. So I get it. I need to scrounge up the cash to pay my uncle rent and we'll be even. 

Once that's done, I need to find some guy named Giuseppi to help me move my things. That will have to be a task for tomorrow. Goodnight and thanks for reading!
