“Oh God, I hate those little brats.”

 

“I guess we need to figure out a new way to get the news out… right?“

He kissed the top of her head, looking out the window thoughtfully

“Are you staying the night?”

 

“Well, we still have evidence, right? At least some of it.”

***

“Like what?”

 

“Did we give the timer to Maxine?”

***

“I have clothes.”

 

“Then we lost that too.”

“Would you, now?”

 

“Not if we want this story to get out.”

“That’s true, but they’ve been washed.”

 

She sighed, squeezing his hand.

“We’ll go tomorrow.”

***

“So they’re just like regular t-shirts.”
