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.]

He owes them a punch or two. That'll be hard if he's not with me.

They grabbed him the night I met with Ling at the Wu's. I have him back, but assholes are assholes.

[ 'I did worse to Ling' ]

So, I'll give him the first hit.

[ 'I'm glad you're okay'. ]

I'll send you directions. Find a phone there and text me. Don't go no contact.

Charlie. He's the last one to call me using your phone. I know he's not going to help me, but this thing will be a little easier to handle if I'm not just hiding.

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I have him convinced you're kidnapped, too. I thought it was true at the time.

Clear what up? This call never happened.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (prison; bothered)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He didn't even consider a kidnapping at first so it's probability about even. When it's over, I'll take it Wu and turn myself in to him. It should get him a few brownie points.

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll be to clear my name. I'm not playing the matry, but I can't always be on the run.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (waking up the nerd)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
That definitely didn't happen in jail. You were one tragedy away from getting stabbed with a fork.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (prison; bothered)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
To the tragedy. The note should've waited until I made it out.
jadedlynx: commissioned; please dns (standing; walking into a trap)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to stop to rest.

[ More because Shawn needed it. It's also a way to dodge the reply. ]

I'll find a hotel, get a nap, and some food. If I miss the call, I might be sleeping.
jadedlynx: (talk to the back)

[personal profile] jadedlynx 2023-04-10 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Call anyway.

[ Ash imagined the torture Max was enduring. The pain he was feeling. It made it harder to breathe, and the need to be stupid in his rush was real. ]
