SAVANNAH
Lodestar:Vana, I want you to know something.
Me:About the Sparrows?
Lodestar:Not just about them. About us too.
Me:Okay, hit me with it. What have you done and who do I need to bribe?
Lodestar:Like old times?
Me:Yep. Remember when you tried to sneak off with that band who was on the starting lineup for noxxious?
Lodestar:I do. It didn’t go down well.
Me:And that was with me helping you, lol.
Me:I watched them play at Madison Square Garden last week. They went straight to the top.
Lodestar:Thought Aidan Jr. would have put you on lockdown.
Me:No. Aidan and I were there to meet with someone.
Lodestar:Business?
Me:Always.
Me:Anyway, what’s up?
Lodestar:You might not hear from me for a while.
Me:As long as last time?
Lodestar:Maybe longer.
Me:Shit.
*incoming call*
Me:Star, pick up the damn phone.
Lodestar:No. I don’t want to talk. I need you to know that everything I’m doing, it’s for a reason.
Me:This sounds like a suicide conversation.
Lodestar:A, what? Jesus, Vana. Can’t you just let me get this down?
Me:No. Not if you’re trying to give me an interactive suicide note via text.
Lodestar:I don’t want to die.
Me:Good. That’s half the battle.
Lodestar:That doesn’t mean some people don’t want me dead.
Me:Babe, some people want ME dead. Isn’t that how we know we’re doing it right?
