Marc had his room packed. It was much most of his belongings had dwindled down to a few shirts and his money. He'd had most of it stashed here and there around the country different bank accounts. He had the codes of course in different places mostly in his head. ...

In the same amount of time Max was somewhere else. No closer to home, but with almost enough of something he felt like he could return. Now with all of his skills the diner would accept him with open arms. 

“A cook with that resume, you should be head chef!”

That’s...

Godot was laying down his phone directly over his head. Times before he’d drop it on his face but this time he was focused. Ready to answer.

Keith paused a bit too long. His head was hurting, maybe because of the weather. Or the heat. Too many changes he thought.
