Well... I was trying to get money from this asshole who fucked with me, but the guy had a gun. Almost shot dead in a fuckin' school bathroom, can you believe it?

[ Almost, and yet... ...Chloe won't go into that right now. Still, she gently smiles. ]

But Max...she was hiding in there. She tripped the fire alarm before that shithead shot me. Didn't even realize who I was, but...well, we ran into each other after the guy was harassing her, and we put the rest together.
