    Summary

    Three days after he signs his death sentence to Palmetto State, five after Andrew Minyard knocks him breathless to the ground, Neil's gaze snaps to the locker room mirror and stares, frozen, at the word threat scrawled along his spine in terrifying bold.

    All in all, he isn’t thrilled about the situation this puts him in, but based off the negative connotation, it isn’t one-sided, either. On the bright side, at least this means his soulmate doesn’t harbor any delusions of grandeur.

    Summary

    She could be so small, he marveled. She was a cat, sleek and windy. A mouse, whiskers perfect and round ears quivering. A moth, fragile and dusty. A caterpillar, wriggly and colorful. She almost disappears.

    “Alex,” his mother chided, her voice low and hand tight around his upper arm, but if she wasn't looking at him it would've taken him a moment to know who she meant. She was scared, she’s terrified, her pupils are dots, even though they were just in the second last row of a near-empty greyhound bus. “Stop playing. Are you listening to me?”

    In his hand, Marie turned into a pill bug and curled up tight. He closed his hand around her, making her disappear.

    Summary

    Right now, he’s not sure if he ever made it out of Lola’s and his father’s reach or out of Baltimore. He thinks he can smell charred skin, thinks he is still feeling the blinding pain like a distant memory, an insignificant tickle against the inferno coursing through his left cheek.

    She’s dead, she’s dead, she’s dead.

    “Abram,” Andrew says, and the name brings Neil out of his head and back to the lounge, back to reality, back to himself.

    Or

    In which the Foxes win their semifinals game, and the Ravens try to shake them up before finals by sending Neil footage Lola recorded during the Baltimore kidnapping.

    Summary

    He raises his hand again when Andrew looks at him, and Andrew holds out his arms in invitation; he's already wet and fucking freezing, no more or less water is going to change that at this point.

    "Go on, splash me again," he says. "But you're getting off this damn beach, because I am not dealing with Kevin's attitude tomorrow if Wymack finds your dead, capsicle body here. You can die elsewhere for all I care, just don't make it my problem by doing it in the restaurant’s view."

    Andrew's familiar routine of closing up for the night is disrupted by something bloody and injured washing up from the depths.
