Flipping a page, max sat at the study, studying some basic science. Still feeling a bit guilty by how he handled Thomas earlier, he was also thinking of a way to apologize to the kid. But those thoughts were cut short by a voice on the speakers. It was Cyrus, and his words carried with them an incredible anxiety. Could someone have died? Was there another hostage situation? With a loud thud, Max’s book hit the floor as he started walking towards the Diner at quite a pace, but while crossing a corner.

Before he could realize, Max was brought to the ground, hurting his left arm in the process. Next to him lay Felix, who seemed alarmed. 

[color=fff200] “Hey, you heard Cyrus right? Shit, this is bad. He totally sounded super serious, something bad must’ve happene-“[/color]


[color=0076a3] “Felix! Calm down. We don’t know what Cyrus wants, and you panicking isn’t helping anyone. Let’s just get to the diner.”[/color] Said Max, as he got back up to his feet. When he used his left arm to get up though, a pain spike surged through it, causing Max to flinch; it may be bruised pretty bad.

[color=fff200] “Owh, ye-yeah.” [/color] Felix followed suit, but from the corner of his eye, he noticed Max’s pain, and his cheeks grew red as he imagined where that pain probably came from.

As the two reached the diner, Felix and Max spotted the few infinites that had arrived, among them being new faces. But introducing themselves was the last thing on their mind.

[color=fff200]“Guys! What’s the deal? Is Cyrus inside?” [/color] Felix frantically looked around for the politician, but it seems he wasn’t here at all. [color=fff200]“You all heard his message right? So where is he?” [/color]

[color=0076a3]“Felix, I told you to calm down. You know Cyrus could only have broadcasted from the post, he’ll be here any minute.” [/color] While he tried to appear calm and rational, even Max was clearly on edge.
