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.]

[ Ash smirks, but his mood isn't really that high right now. Things are tight, and Max is missing. Even if he found Wu... ]

It's the first time I've ruined somebody's plan by being too much of a prude.

A plan for a night's fun is different than a complete territory switch.

He's taking orders, too. Yut Lung's place was blown up, and Ling's not in charge. If he's dead, that's pretty settled, but guys like the Lees don't usually give you an easy death.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (in prison; having to explain again)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
The Lees don't like Yut Lung, either. The big guy is the only thing that's held them back. They're either trying to draw him out, or they've decided he's not coming.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (side-glance; on the bed)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
If the big guy is involved, I'll put my money on the Lees' extinction.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (commanding; hand on hips)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Right now, I'm the annoyed guy. Max is missing, and the cops are looking for me.

[ Sighing, he pulls out his phone. ]

Stay quiet for a few minutes. I don't want them to know you're with me.

[ He calls Max's phone; it should still be in custody. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (more shock; mouth open)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Max?!

[ What the hell? Ash sits forward, stopped only by the seat belt, but something inside of him is smart enough to pick up on the whisper and keep his voice low in spite of the exclamation.

Is he the one drugged now? Max is missing. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (yelling; angry; mad)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Screw that stuff for now! Where have you been?! I thought they had you!
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (yelling; angry; mad)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You really did escape from police custody?! How did you get your phone back?!

[ They don't have Max. Wu and Sing are still missing, but selfishly, it's Max, and Ash feels like the air isn't so tight around his lungs. ]
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (in prison; having to explain again)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I didn't either.

[ He deflates back into his seat. ]

I thought they grabbed you.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (no shirt; listening and thinking)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a big they. I have it under control for now, for they've attached Yut Lung's place and framed me so I'll have to stay low. They have Wu, but I think I know where he's being held. I thought I'd have to find you separately because there's no way in hell they've be able to keep you quiet in a fancy hotel.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (hard to hear stupid)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I set up safe houses for my men. I'll send you directions to one of them. The food won't be 5 stars, but you might recognize it from your time in the army.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (huh? eating)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
They'll be supplies there, too. Burners, laptops, signal jammers. I didn't know which one I'd need to work from to launch a counterattack.


Good job not dying.

[ The voice is more warm than mocking, and Ash's eyes go to the window. ]
