Chapter Four: Old Acquaintances _____________________
Harley's eyes widened as he glanced over the paper once, twice, three times. no, it had to be a coincidence, there's no way. but there was a way, and it was right in front of his face.
Harley was under Vecnas's curse. Max glanced up at the older man with a knowing look in her eye, one he returned panicked and shaken. He cursed under his breath turning around and raking his hands through his hair. Steve's eyebrows furrowed,
"What?" He asked cautiously. Harley frowned, shaking his hands in an attempt to calm himself down.
"I... I think one of us is next," Harley says quietly. Steve almost doesn't catch it.

"It was like she was in a trance or something, Just like Eddie said Happened to Chrissy," Dustin commented. Harley bit the inside of his cheek, watching max carefully. Max turned around to face the group,
