Jay couldn't help wondering what kind of plan Max was cooking up. He clearly wasn't following any kind of normal student playbook. Still, Jay sent the text, and within minutes, the girls had responded with a location for the meeting.
A short while later, they found themselves walking down the local high street. It wasn't anything fancy, not the main city strip, just the cluster of shops and hangouts in their part of town.
The meeting spot? A bowling alley.
It sat at the edge of a small park, tucked behind the last row of shops. Honestly, it wasn't a bad spot for an ambush. Lots of places to hide, plenty of blind corners. If Seaton was planning something shady, this was the perfect setup.
"You worried?" Max asked, breaking the silence.
"About Seaton?" Jay said. "Yeah. But not in the usual way."
Max glanced at him.
"If they tried to attack us... I don't know if I could hit them," Jay admitted. "I've never hit a woman before."
