We just needed to find something starting with the letter z, find something borrowed, arm wrestle someone, and find one more heart-shaped item.

“Okay, I’m going to go up to that table.” Nadia motioned to a couple seated in the dining area of the Crab Shack as she handed me her camera. “You’re on camera duty.”

“Got it.”

I had no clue what she was about to do, but when it came to Nadia, I found it best to just go along for the ride and not ask questions. I held the camera in place and watched as she spoke to an older couple. I wondered if she was going to arm wrestle one of them. When they handed her their salt, I snapped a photo. She walked over to me, and I took another pic of her holding it like a trophy. Then one final snap of her returning the salt to the couple.

When she came back, she took her phone and edited the photos together with the words borrowed salt before sending it off.

“Cross borrowed off the list.”

I marked another X next to something borrowed.

“Are you Callum Knight?”

I turned around and saw a boy with curly brown hair and big brown eyes who looked a little bit younger than Matty. He had a shirt with mine and Martinez’s faces on it. It was merch from our third fight. It was crazy to see because there was a chance I hadn’t fought in this kid’s lifetime, but because of YouTube, he knew who I was.

“I am, yeah.”

His eyes widened. “Can I take a picture with you?”

I glanced up and saw that he was with a woman I assumed was his mom, who appeared to be more than happy for her son to be having this interaction.

“Sure. What’s your name?”

“Eric.”

“Nice to meet you, Eric.”

I stood beside Eric, and his mom snapped a few photos of us.

When she finished, I asked, “Can you do me a favor, Eric?”

His head bobbed up and down eagerly.

“I have to arm wrestle someone for a game my friend and I are playing.” I showed Eric’s mom the scavenger hunt checklist. “Will you arm wrestle me?”
