"There's an abandoned chemical plant on the west side of the city. I've looked into the usage of the land, but the paperwork is a bit of a headache." Wesley frowned. "Besides, buying that land would cost a fortune, and I can't afford to throw that much money around."

"Let's go together."
Isaac had another meeting, so he got up and left.
