“This your boy?” Jaw asked, as he noticed us.

“Yeah,” Lisa said, without even glancing at me.

Hehe.

“What happened, Brycie?  You join the Merchants and neglect to tell your sister, go to stay with her, and then give all the info on where she’s staying to your new friends?  You that big a scumbag?”

Oof, that would be even worse than what I thought might’ve happened (him joining at or after the church attack), which would just be that first part about joining and not telling Sierra.

Bryce scowled.  I could see him trying to look confident in front of his girlfriend.  “Not what happened.”

Ahh, that’s what she is… probably.

So what did happen, then?

“Then tell me a story, kid.  Keep in mind, what you say plays a big role in what happens in the next few minutes.”

Yeah… this could get a bit nastier. 

And then, as I meant to talk about between posts, there’s the matter of reporting this back to Sierra. If Taylor came back without Bryce and told her the truth, unless that truth is very different from how it currently looks, I don’t think Sierra would believe her at first. She’d probably get quite upset at Skitter, and then if Skitter manages to actually convince her, at Bryce and just upset in general.

Point is, this doesn’t look like it’ll end with a happy Sierra.
