Van
It’s 6:04 a.m.
Graham
I was a participant in a fight club at approximately 5:47 a.m.
I stop walking in the middle of the parking lot and glance at Graham’s car and then to Rome’s. My stomach somersaults.
Did they get into a fight?
Van
You’re on my nerves with the riddles.
Noah
Same. I still haven’t finished my coffee.
Beck changes the name of the group.
Mostly Nonviolent, Except Graham
Graham
I didn’t get into a fight, but I broke one up.
Me
Between who?
Rome and his other personalities?
My steps are slow toward Vanstone’s doors. I’d rather be prepared when facing Rome this morning. What if he got into an altercation with Ellis? He does love to give Rome a hard time.
Graham
You’re not going to believe it...
I stare at my phone and wait for another text to come through.
Graham
Rome and his dad.
My heart slips.What?
Van
Lucas? Where was this?
Graham
At the office! In the parking lot. I was in my car and saw the entire thing go down. Once I saw Lucas grab Rome by the collar of his shirt, I intervened. He was about to clock him.
My fingers work overtime.
Me
