papalobo: (Got me)
Max Lobo ([personal profile] papalobo) wrote2023-04-01 07:10 pm

Day 264 - Thursday, September 11th

[Max sleeps; has as he'd thought, he achieves nothing, and he's not even a small-talk source of comfort or somebody to soothe Ash's nerves before his two AM meeting with yet another Chinese teenager. Something about Chinese teenagers seems to always spell trouble for Ash, and now he's in a mess involving no less than four of them.

But Max doesn't move. If Ash comes to see him, setting that pill counter and the note about the smoothie, he may notice he hasn't so much as shifted a finger. Ash has had to turn to painting, but there's no need to lock that room before, or even for a long while after. The only one in this house besides him is a breathing corpse.

But Shawn's ready and waiting for him at one, prepared to be decked out a wires that Ling's likely to hang him with if he finds out about them.]

The questions might've changed when I took Ling. It's not like they were trying to grab me at Wu's. Ling was even giving his farewell speech when I knocked him out. If they wanted info from me, they could grab me and use the same truth drugs.

It means Ling wasn't at the head like we thought. That doesn't tell me who might be.

[ Letting Shawn put his weight against the car, Ash unlocks the door but grabs some things from the back. He did have hopes of finding two of the three men.

And now, Yut Lung isn't answering his phone. Ash isn't too broken up by that. But Max is in their hands. Everything could fall apart with that. ]

[ He does have a small basket of food and a first aid kit, but as he gets into the car, he hooks the phone up to the laptop to being breaking in instead of immediately doing first aid. ]

The turtle does fit Wu best, but if it is, he's not on our side.

[ With the program started, Ash opens a bottled water and places it against Shawn's hand. ]

Water.

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ A hand reaches out to stop him so that he can wash down the two pain pills that he places in Shawn's other hand. ]

They're weak stuff, but I can't risk giving you anything stronger with the drugs in your system.

[ Unfortunately, Ash did not pack extra shoes. He did, however, pack extra clothing in case the got bloody in the rescue. He assumed he could just wipe down his shoes.

After adding a protein bar to Shawn's lap, while the laptop works, he begins to change. Shawn's blind and even if he wasn't, it's not like he hasn't changed in front of people before. ]
jadedlynx: (tired but fighting)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
The stuff you saw?

[ It couldn't have finished yet and still, impatient, even as he slides off his pants, Ash looks at the laptop. ]

It should just be a lot of dark and blur. What did you see?
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (side-glance; laying down)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
It was probably a secondary drug or a reaction to the mixture that made you trip. Unless there's a second blood to dilate your pupils, that one just messes with your eyes.

[ He pulls the shirt over his head. It's only Shawn's blood, but if he has to walk back inside, it's better not to look so obviously bloody. ]

But maybe there is. The Chinese play with them more than me so they might've made their own batch.

I'll need my shoes back.
jadedlynx: (talk to the back)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
Not far.

[ Redressed, he sends out orders to Alex. Among them is a territory-wide search for Max even if it'll probably be fruitless. ]

I'm working on hacking into the phone, but I do know this place is their hideout. As soon as I get into the phone, I'm going back inside. Somebody is on the way to pick you up.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (thoughtful; clasped hands)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'm in the heart of it no matter where I actually am, especially now that they have Max. I have limited time to move.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (cold; emotionless)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ He already has the translation app ready. ]

You're sitting right beside me, Shawn.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (focused; narrowed eyes)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
You're the monkey.

[ Ouch. Sorry, Shawn.

Reaching out, Ash opens the door. ]


The needle they had the truth drug in. Any idea what it looks like?
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (in prison; book)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going back in to look for more. If I'm not back by the time your new ride gets here, take it.

[ There's enough time for him to get in there and be back by then so it'll mean something happened. ]

If I can find it, I want you to play doctor with Ling.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (stopped; prepared)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-08 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I'll always be a good doctor.

The guy who picks you up will open with the word 'unit'. The door stays locked until then, but if you keep your head down, nothing will seem off.

[ As he instructs Shawn on the plan, he sends a text to a woman who played his mom.

She was indifferent to him, just like his real mom, so she did a good job. ]


It's Ash. Leave your house now and don't be home again until I tell you.

[ It's not hard to connect the swan to a pretty woman. ]
