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.]

But they're the only ones who can confirm Ash Lynx.
[ Time to start on the makeup. ]

I discredit the people who claim they saw me. Then Ash Lynx stays a ghost.

Ling wasn't even running his own operation. One of his brothers still might have him.
[ And Max still hasn't texted. ]

[ Ash does know that's a possibility. Emotionally, he's preparing for it. Emotionally, he's doing his best for when or if it comes. He doesn't want for him to be dead. He doesn't want for him to be tortured. ]
Maybe he's dead. Maybe he's wishing he was.

[ Ash knows that. Even if he heard of his death, he'd assume it was faked. ]

[ But he wouldn't have given him over for torture. ]
