    Font - I drove rather fast, getting there at 3:37, happy that I got there in under 35 mins. I show up. Business closed. I figured he was somewhere nearby, so I get out of my vehicle to search.

    Font - informs me that he just left a few mins ago, but could call him back to come meet me. He calls his boss, saying who I am, etc. The teenager chuckles, says "ok" with a "you gotta be f ng kidding me" look on his face and then hangs up.
