She broke away from her conversation with Minor and Fish to join us. “‘Sup?”
“We’re worried the kid will run. You have any ideas on what would work?”
She shrugged. “What if you give him what he wants?”
Letting him run, stealthily supervised? Crazy enough that it just might work.
Or wait, do you mean the things he felt were missing before running? I guess that makes sense. Feels a little like rewarding him for running the first time, but I guess it’s more being better parents. He’s gotten his punishment. Now it’s time to address the root cause.
“Which is?”
“He wants excitement, he wants to feel like a grown up, he wants respect, and maybe a bit of power at a time in his life he maybe feels pretty powerless, what with losing his house, his family, his safety, all that.”
And yeah, these aren’t unreasonable desires, either.
…allowing him to work with a cape like Taylor could provide some of these.
“Okay. And we do this by?”
“With your okay, I’d recruit him.”
Oh! Or with Lisa. That works too!
I would like Sierra to stick around, but I don’t care much for Bryce, so I’m totally fine with him being elsewhere but in touch.
“That sounds like a monumentally bad idea,” I admitted.
…but to be fair, Lisa is working with some really sketchy people. Working under Lisa, Bryce could be exposed to people like Senegal, for example.
