"I might be able to help with some of the older folks around. I'll leave you two to deal with the rest of your friends and the younger people." Marlon said feeling sure he could best help them by defusing more of the adults who would be rather surly given the whole situation. "I'll call back in a bit to see how things went, you stay safe."

He gave them a wave before heading to his own car, it was old but still got the job done, so he could head out to do more damage control to ease up some tension if possible.

It was going to be a hell of a time but it was needed to try and undo some of the damage the other him had done in a few months.
