Annoyed, Ryan snatched his phone with a blank expression on his face and played the video, his eyes widened slightly

Sighing, Matt watched Ryan toss another pair of trousers in the suitcase and then mumbled, ** So you and Rookie are leaving today?” 

“Yeah,” Ryan muttered sarcastically, pulling another shirt out and throwing it into the suitcase. “We have the location of where Bryan lives and Rookie found out the perfect place to stay for the one month... Um... he has our hotel room book.”
