Zane's phone registers a text.

Zane looks it over

TXT: Dude, I owe you. On a number of levels.

TXT: Hey, I'm just happy to help a bro

TXT: Lucky for you, it worked out for me. Still, watch your back next time. 😁 😬

TXT: Ha! Nab told huh? Still worth it! You HUNK you!

TXT: Nope, she didn't tell. But she did open her mouth. 😈

TXT: No wonder you're not mad! You lucky asshole!

TXT: That, and the magic. So you get to live._ 😏

TXT: That's Glitterman, you're my hero! 😄

TXT: 💪

TXT: So what are your plans today man?

TXT: Try not to flip my shit from boredom. You?

TXT: Online classes have ruined my joy of the internet

TXT: ..... but not the porn?

TXT: Well no, never that!

TXT: School only takes, like 3-4 hours anyway.

TXT: So you're bored and want something to do? Mmm

TXT: Been out a few times. A little Fae Ubering but.....

TXT: Oh! Met a cute DeBuke. A little young, though. Not that I'm discriminating, just... careful.

TXT: Damn straight. Gotta watch yourself. Kourtney right? Going around healing

TXT: Yeah! Know anything about her?

TXT: Yeah. Not a DeBuke b y surname but she uses it to simplify. I think she's a DeBuke on her mom's side. Her older sister was one of Sylvi's best friends but she died

TXT: Oh shit!

TXT: Yeah. Kelby was cool. You would have liked her. Love B ball

TXT: Shit. Ok. That sucks. What happened?_

TXT: Big mission in the Dreaming to save people, free slaves etc

TXT: Oh.

TXT: Yeah. It's that sort of thing you don't often hear about

TXT: I guess not. Ok. Good to know. What else? She was kinda into me, but I don't want to step in it, you know?

TXT: I think you want to take it real slow if you do because like.. you said, young r ight? Flirt but give her a year or two to simmer? She's working on being a healer, maybe talk about how you know she's got her duties right now and she's really helping folks during hard times?

TXT: Yeah. Cool. That sounds right.

After a pause, a text: Hey, think there might be something I could do to help her?

TXT: Ride her around town if she needs the mobility

TXT: 😈

TXT: You know what i mean! :D

TXT: Yeah, I can do that.

TXT: Well , you do what you want. I'm going out. Bored

TXT: Dude, I am too!

TXT: How about I drop by? We head out from there?

TXT: I'm ready to try!

TXT: Be there in 10

With some time to get ready, Adam is soon dressed up and geared up as much as he wants to be, when there's a doorbell

Adam is armed and is wearing parts of his highwayman outfit. He thunders down the stairs to answer the door.

"You caught up on that homework?" His mom's voice says

"Yep!"

"Fine. Have fun"

"WOohooo!" And out he goes.

Zane waits outside "Hey man, was that your mom in yoga pants?"

"Dude!!!"
