THE KFC IS closer to our work than the McDonalds, but I'm guessing Sasha doesn't want to go there anymore. I brought it up yesterday and she dramatically put a hand to her forehead, saying something about PTSD.
Without telling anyone - minus Margeux apparently - Sasha strolled along to Reign's front door step, picked his lock, skipped on up inside - and went searching. So here we are, all of us, meeting up at a McDonalds ten minutes away while we wait for her to arrive with her newfound information.
My guess? Director Hayes created cancer. I don't know. I wouldn't put it past him.
"Hopefully it's something bad." Keagen says to break the silence. We're seated around one of the larger tables - the rest of the store dead silent since nobody actually gets McDonald's after midnight - and tired as fuck because of the time.
"...why would you want that?" Margeux asks.
"No! - I just mean if it's something bad, like Director Hayes, I don't know, he breeds and eats puppies, then we can use that as ammunition against him." Keagen shrugs.
"Breeds and eats puppies?" I repeat, "That's what you came up with?"
"I panicked."
"This is a safe space Keagen, why do you panic around people who are practically your family?" Odyssey groans, head falling backwards as she leans against the bright red booth.
"Firstly - why are you in such a mood - and secondly, would you seriously call an empty McDonalds a safe space?" Keagen makes a point of gesturing to the room.
"She's hungover." Vika answers for Odyssey, tone dry (like it usually is with her).
"What?" I turn to face Odyssey who's across from me, "Why were you drinking?"
"I don't know man, shit." She whines, falling deeper into the cushioned couch.
"Jesus Christ, lie on Vika's lap or something - sleep." I urge her.
Odyssey starts to complain but Vika only rolls her eyes and grabs her by the head to put her down. Now that Odyssey is dealt with - sort of - I turn my attention to Heather.
"You see where she is?" I ask.
Heather nods, turning off her phone, "Her location is on. She's like a minute away."
"I don't want to disappoint anyone - but Sasha might be making a big deal out of something small. Like she could have found out Reign has a bidet in his apartment and that's why she's called us all here." Keagen sighs from beside me.
"No," I shake my head, "She'd face time us for that. This is serious."
"I know." He mutters, "I just want something to calm myself down and to stop myself from stressing."
