“Violet?! Are you kidding me? Katya was robbed, this is bullshit-”
“Dare I even ask?”
“Well, hello you. Haven’t seen you around here in a while.”
“Death waits for no one, you know that. You haven’t visited me either.”
“Yeah, the kid’s been going through some stuff.”
“…oh?”
“The boytoy- sorry, he’s Eddie now, I guess. Anyway, they made up thanks to yours truly and are now sickeningly obsessed with each other once more.”
“That explains why you’re lounging around on your own for the night.”
“Not anymore. I missed you, sweetheart.”
“Well, we can’t have that, can we?”
“Mmhmm…You taste like cherries. I like it.”
“Good. So how does sharing a room with a teenage boy go? Do you take turns hanging the sock on the door?”
“Ugh, what an image. If I was seducing you, babe, I’m not doing it in a bedroom that looks like one of those kitschy magic shops on the Vegas strip.”
“Such a gentleman.”
“I try. So?”
“Hmm?”
“What’s bothering you?”
“What? I can’t come see the woman I treasure beyond existence itself for no reason?”
“You can but you don’t. Go on, confess your sins, babe.”
“…it can wait.”
“Alright then. I guess the anticipation is kind of hot.”
“I’m curious, do these lines ever work?”
“Well, you’re the one in my lap right now so I must be doing something right.”

Wayne told me you hit him??
Tommy what the hell!!?
Did he mention he hit me first or did
he conveniently leave that part out?This is unacceptable
You cannot be picking fights with my boyfriend!
He’s really hurt Tommy!
And yet I’m the one with the black eye.
I don’t want to hear it
You’re grounded
And I’m taking away your computer privileges
Good luck finding it
I am serious tommy!
He’s the one beefing with a teenager
Maybe ask your boyfriend why he’s
so threatened by a kid before you tell me
I’m the problemI don’t get it you were doing so good lately
And now youre back to getting in fights
Did you not wonder why I was doing good?
Did it ever cross your mind that something
was different? At all???I don’t know where this attitude is
coming fromI have done nothing but raise you feed you
clothe you support you and this
is how you repay me??You’re my mother. It’s your job to raise me.
I didn’t ask to be born.
I didn’t ask for any of this.
When you get home I want you to pack your
stuffYou cant stay here anymore not with this
attitudeTyping…
Whatever.

“Hey Tommy. It’s me again.
I think we both know this scrying stuff isn’t working but I like talking to you, even if you can’t hear me. It makes you feel…real, I guess. And considering I have…seven weeks left until the end of summer, I have to think of you as real or this all becomes way, way too crazy.
Agatha’s making me memorise verses and incantations this week. Turns out I speak Latin with an accent. She won’t tell me which accent, of course, just that I sound like a hick. But Jen sent me stuff to quiz me too when she can. I’m not sure potions is my thing though. She told me every witch naturally gravitates towards one of the elements so I guess that means water is out. And if I was half the seer Lilia was, I would’ve found you already so wind is a dud too.
It actually made me think of Wanda, to be honest. Everything Agatha tells me about chaos magic makes it seem…well, unhinged. It makes me wonder if she ever stood a chance or if she was always gonna go nuts. And if I’m anything like her, then…well, genetics is a thing. She had a brother too, you know. I met him…kind of. I mean, not the real Pietro. Wikipedia says he died in some battle with the Avengers ages ago. I met the townie Agatha bewitched, the one we met in the hex. The guy’s nuts but I mean, can you blame him? Anyway, I just…I don’t know. I guess I know how it feels to be missing the other half of your brain. Just makes me think-”
“Hey, I brought- Whoa!”
“Hey! I, er, I wasn’t expecting- wait, were we gonna hang out tonight? I didn’t miss it, did I?!”
“No, nothing like that, I was dropping Paul off at his place and thought I’d swing by. Sorry, I didn’t meant to interrupt?”
“You’re not, I swear. I’m just…well, actually I’m kind of failing at scrying.”
“Scrying? Wanna explain that one to me?”
“It’s a form of divination, which is something else I’m pretty bad at. It’s like trying to visualise what you’re searching for, in the hopes that you might recognise where they are.”
“No luck?”
“None whatsoever. Nowadays, I kind’ve do it just to talk with him.”
“Sure…and the, er, floating?”
“Floating?”
“Yeah, you were hovering, like, three feet off the ground when I came in. Did you not notice?”
“Huh. No, not really. I mean I close my eyes and I’m usually alone so…Did it freak you out?”
“Maybe a little but actually, it’s pretty cool. So you fly now, huh?”
“I did it once but I don’t really know how. The last time I tried practising with Agatha, she couldn’t explain how she does it beyond, just do it, Teen.”
“You’ll get there. You’re already floating, right?”
“I guess so. So this really doesn’t bother you?”
“What?”
“That your boyfriend is a giant freak who floats in his room talking to his imaginary brother?”
“Excuse me, I think you mean, my boyfriend who can fly in his room and magically speak to his very real twin. Besides, I told you. I’m in. Can I help somehow?”
“I don’t even know if I can help right now. Every lead I’ve tried leads absolutely nowhere.”
“Well, what do you have so far?”
“…You really want to sit here and listen to me rant about this?”
“I said I’m in. Go on, show me your psycho string Pinterest board of clues…and if you can levitate while you do it, you know, that wouldn’t be so bad.”
“Oh yeah?”
“What can I say, I’m a sucker for giant floating freaks.”

You have one (1) missed call from Unknown Number.
You have one (1) new voicemail, received July 14 at 9:36 pm.
“You’ve reached Harriet Daniels with the Springfield Township Police Department. If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911. Otherwise, leave me a message with your name and number.”
“Hi, Officer Daniels, it’s Tommy Shepherd. I thought about what you said and I want to talk more. About Greg, I mean. He’s into a lot more shady shit than you might know about. I know it’s late but can you meet me near the pool centre in half an hour? I don’t want to talk about it in front of my mom, she worries too much.”

“Alright. What do you want, why are we here, faggot?”
“I thought it’d set the scene. Give you an idea of the gravity of your situation.”
“The what?”
“They want you for attempted murder, Greg. And I’m inclined to give it to them.”
“Bullshit. There’s nothing tying me to that video and you know it.”
“Nothing but me. By the way, I’m curious. Which one of your moron friends posted it without telling you first?”
“…it’s been dealt with.”
“I bet it was Sam, right? He seems like the kind of guy to upload twenty minutes worth of damning evidence against his best friend for a few extra followers.”
“I’m getting real tired of this, Shepherd. Get to the point or-”
“Or what?”
“…Hey, how’d you-?”
“What’re you gonna do, Greg?”
“Whoa!”
“Because the last time we did this, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the one passed out in a Taco Bell.”
“H-how are you doing that…what the hell man-?!”
“The thing is, I looked it up. Repeated hits to the diaphragm-”
“OOFT!”
“-can cause short term paralysis, heart palpitations, respiratory distress. It’s not that dissimilar from drowning. And I should know.”
“Argh- ack- I-”
“Not to mention, a hit here, straight to the kidney-”
“ARGH!”
“-and you’re looking at severe to even fatal complications, Greg! You feel that? Your lungs constricting, your throat closing up? All this air around you but you just can’t seem to breathe.”
“I…I…”
“You what? You’re sorry? You’re about to be sorrier. Because while you’ve been lying here gasping for breath, I’ve been busy planting your third strike in your car.”
BWEEP, BWEEP!
“Police! Come out from behind the vehicle and show us your hands!”
“That’s my cue. See you later, Greg.”

holimoli_44: I’LL DO IT YOU ASS
tshep: Don’t call my mom. I told you, I was busy.
holimoli_44: im gonna KILL YOU
holimoli_44: WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!??!
tshep: <sent a video attachment. Open?>
holimoli_44: <is typing>
holimoli_44: what is this
tshep: Karma.
holimoli_44: oh my god
holimoli_44: tommy what did you do?
tshep: I took care of a problem.
holimoli_44: jesus
holimoli_44: this is
holimoli_44: idek what this is
tshep: Are you
tshep: I mean, does it freak you out?
holimoli_44: what? No, god no, I just
holimoli_44: this video is evidence. You have to delete it
tshep: I will. I wanted you to see it first.
holimoli_44: …what did you mean about his third strike?
tshep: That’s what I bought the cocaine for. I planted it in his car while he was on the ground right before the cops showed up. Along with a burner phone full of messages with the guy in New York, talking about wanting to deal in Jersey.
tshep: I’d rather he go down for other crimes but possession and intent to distribute works too. He could get up to ten years.
holimoli_44: where’d you even get the money for all this? And what about fingerprints???
tshep: I may have helped myself to a few wallets while I was in town to cover the buy price. Besides, I wore gloves. Factory reset and broke his phone too while I was at it, to clear out the text history. I’m pretty quick these days, I got a lot done in elven seconds.
holimoli_44: I’ll say
holimoli_44: tommy this is crazy. What if he tells the cops about you??
tshep: Would you believe it, if you hadn’t seen it for yourself?
holimoli_44: I guess not. Holy shit he’s really going away isn’t he?
tshep: He really is.
holimoli_44: where are u rn
tshep: Grabbing snacks at the 24/7 corner store near my place. It’s probably riddled with e.coli but I’m starving. Why?
holimoli_44: Because I’m seriously considering catching an overnight train to New Jersey so I can kiss you again.
tshep: I’m not one to stand in the way of a woman on a mission
holimoli_44: god you just
holimoli_44: who even are you tommy shepherd?
tshep: That’s the million dollar question.
tshep: Huh, that’s weird
holimoli_44: what?
tshep: The cash register is open. I think something’s wrong.
holimoli_44: hardy har, i get it, leave me on the brink of panic again
holimoli_44: get ur damn snacks and video call me already
holimoli_44: tommy? seriously
