Blackwell Academy, Arcadia Bay Oregon, October 10th, 2013, 10:38 AM
James walked through the doors of the dormitory building looking around, he found his group standing before him by the stairs
"Damn, that was intense. Warren...thank you so much." Max commented,
"For what?" Warren asked confused at Caulfield's appraisal
"For beating the shit out of Nathan Prescott! Dude, you rule." Chloe clarified
"It was to be..commended" James added
"I don't know. I kinda went crazy there...like Nathan." Warren doubted himself
"You are nothing like him" Max tried to reassure.
"Good to know. So, where are you going? I better stick with you guys. Just in case you need me to get my Hulk on again. Or should I call the cops on Nathan?" Graham asked wondering what he was to do now
"The police are in the Prescotts pockets, trying to have them intervene would only jeopardize your standing at this school" James explained, based on his own knowledge of how the Prescotts operated and the email he read in Nathan's room, he knew the police would be of no use in this current situation
"Warren. Me, Max, and James have to do this on our own. No offense." Price responded
"It's cool. Whatever I can do to help..." Warren answered unfazed by the fact he had been left out of the group,
"What you can do is find out anything you can about Sean Prescott, Nathan's father. Something tells me he is certainly involved in something illegal, drug trafficking, money laundering, etc" James instructed, now that Nathan would not be an immediate threat to them, he wanted to build a case against his father in order to find enough substantial evidence to topple his plans. Sean Prescott was certainly involved with Amber's disappearance, James could tell, and he wanted to uncover anything and everything to unravel this conspiracy.
"I'm on it. Between the snow and eclipse, I'm assuming the apocalypse is around the corner..." Warren nodded, he wasn't wrong with his comment, there was certainly something bizarre happening and yet he so far has uncovered nothing to cause the unusual happenings within his town.
"And...thank you. Seriously. I'll call you later." Max repeated her sentiment from earlier
"You better. I'm feeling pretty alpha now." Warren said with a voice so full of confidence it made James roll his eyes in embarrassment for the boy
"Yes. You are." Max nodded in agreement, Graham then left and wandered back off into the campus grounds.
"Man, that guy is so fucking in love with you." Chloe laughed
"Its almost pitiful" James commented adding to the conversation, Max chuckled and nodded in agreement,
"He really did give a serious beatdown to Nathan."Price commented reflecting back to the fight inside the Dormitories
"It was a little scary to watch him do that..." Max also reflected
"You know I'm surprised you didn't take the moral high ground and stop him before he beat Nathan into a pulp Sherlock" Price wondered
"Prescott has had it coming to him for a long fucking time. No one drugs someone I know, makes her life hell and gets away with it. Not while I live and breathe" James shook his head, he thought back to his last encounter with Nathan back at the Two Whales Diner and his parting words before leaving him
"you can't keep the truth from me for long, and when I do. You will fucking burn for it..." This was Nathan's karma coming to bite him the ass.
"Now let's make a date with Frank." Price said, setting her mind on different matters rather than reflecting on what just happened.
"Will he even answer you?" Max asked suspiciously, James wondered the same thing. But Price shook her head
"Frank always answers when he wants money." then she took out her phone and sent a text message to Bowers, not even a second later her phone dinged and rumbled with a notification indicating Frank had responded immediately
"Let's not keep him waiting then shall we?" James said while adjusting his hood "Oh, by the way. I'm done with biking all around town, I'll be hitching a ride you guys" James said already walking off for Price's rusted Pickup truck
"C-can he even do that?" Max asked surprised by James decision,
Price merely shrugged "Thats James Makintosh for ya" She said before also heading off towards the truck.
