Hugh Hamilton
As they entered the first in a series of pawn shops in the area, Hugh played with the idea of standing in the corner and demonstrating his confusion, but eventually decided against it when he realised that it was a thoroughly disturbing thing to do in front of unexpecting citizens.
"What are you doing over there?" asked Ben angrily. "I'm not doing this alone."
"But isn't the whole point that you do it alone?" replied Hugh.
"What!?" screamed Ben.
"Nothing."
Hugh raced over and joined Ben at the counter.
"Do you have a lady named Grace working here?" questioned Ben to the glum clerk.
"Grace? Why yes we do."
"Really?" said Ben in surprise.
"No."
Ben smiled aggressively.
"Thanks a lot you dumb piece of shit."
They slumped out of the store in disgust and walked towards their next destination. On the way, Hugh stopped to buy a new 440 mil can of Solo™.
