Ryker: No shit it doesn’t work. Nothing works with you. I’ve been trying to get you out of that hellhole for years, and every time we get close, you do something SPECTACULARLY stupid.
Me: Are you done?
Blake: Guys, same team. Remember?
Ryker: Are we though? Because I’m on Team Get Knox Out Of Prison. And Knox is on Team Do Everything Fucking Possible To Sabotage His Own Parole.
Me: ENOUGH.
Jace: Ryker, stand down.
Axel: Ooooh, Big Boss Energy activated. *Crown emoji*
Blake: Axel, I swear to God.
Axel: What?! I’m just narrating!
Ryker: [typing…]
Ryker: [typing…]
Ryker: [typing…]
Axel: Three typing notifications. He’s either writing an essay or deleting a lot of curse words.
Blake: Probably both.
Ryker: What do you need?
Me: I need you to watch out for her. I think she might be in trouble. I’m still trying to get information from her, but I’d sleep better, knowing someone on the outside has eyes on her when I can’t.
Jace: What kind of trouble?
Me: The kind that leaves scars.
Blake: She had a shiner the first time I met her.
Jace: Why the FUCK would you tell him that??? Now he’s going to go even more ballistic!
Me: She had a BLACK EYE???
Jace: See?
Me: How long ago?
Jace: Maybe it was from an accident?
Me: Was it?
Ryker: Dude, you need to focus on YOU.
Me: Fuck! CO is coming. Gotta go. Watch out for her!
Axel: Quick! Everyone say something meaningful!
Blake: Stay safe, Knox. We’ve got her.
Ryker: For the love of God, stay out of any sign of trouble until the hearing.
