@spookyscaryskeletons: @not_ur_power_bank come out NOW
@THUNDERDOME: what happened
@THUNDERDOME: ???
@not_ur_power_bank: idk

Minnie stuffed her phone into her pocket and washed her hands. When she was done, she took a few deep breaths, tamping down the rising alarm in her chest, and consciously shifted her gait into something poised and unhurried. Then, she left the bathroom, glancing down at her phone as she re-entered the commotion.

@THUNDERDOME: did the creepy guys try sth
@fides1104: long story
@fides1104: cops coming
@THUNDERDOME: wtf

Minnie swallowed and looked up as Faith waved her over. Microphone-head was on the ground, and his friend was nowhere to be seen. The office lady whom she'd noticed earlier was still seated at her table, but was no longer on her phone. Her eyes were flicking frantically between the door and the counter. The look on her face seemed to imply that she was only here because she had to be, and also because Max kept turning back to squint at her, as if pinning her in place.

"The two guys tried to hit on H," Faith summarized. Hailey was standing at the counter, her back to the two of them, and Max's hands were on her hips. The monkey who'd served them had disappeared into the back, having been replaced by a short, tubby guy who looked like the manager. He was wringing his hands, and Minnie's lip curled as she glanced at him. "The old dude who was ordering kicked that guy in the nuts, and his friend ran. Chris ran after him."
"Who?" They'd noticed him when they'd entered the restaurant, but had affected not to.
"The old dude."
"No, it was the blonde asswipe," Max countered, turning around to join the conversation as Hailey advanced on the counter and the manager retreated backwards. Her eyes gleamed malevolently. "We're going to sue the shit out of them. Japanese boys preying on Korean girls, the optics aren't great."
Faith nudged her. Max stared uncomprehendingly for a few seconds until it clicked, then turned around like nothing had happened. Minnie joined the pile-on as they browbeat the manager into submission, and then the police arrived, and then there was no more time to even think.

It was Wednesday. Max's eyes were narrowed as she stared across the room at Chris's empty seat. She turned, clocked Inigo, and glanced down at her lap, where her phone was. They were, all of them, texting under the table.
