The opening chapters of the new story have been sent to the Moderators.
The story opens with Max awakening in Jill's spare bedroom at her house in North Charleston, South Carolina. Following a good shower, Jill makes him breakfast. During the meal, she fills him in on what occurred in Atlanta after they left the previous evening. She also has an agenda, as she wants to count the money that Max acquired in Atlanta, and he is agreeable to this.
It turns out that Max's estimate was way off. At lunch Jill asks his plans, and learns he needs to hide for a time and learn more Magic. That evening they watch the news from Atlanta. Later she begins teaching him how to control his Talent. At the end of the lessons, Jill leans in and kisses him, startling Max.
Max is upset about this, but Jill understands about grieving. The next day they shop for needed items, especially food, a hair cut and a lockable box.
That evening following the news, Max is speculating on who is behind the trouble in Atlanta, when there is an explosion several blocks down the street from Jill's house. Max goes out to check on it and meets Jill's neighbor. On returning to her house, they discover that Jill is being spied on. They capture the spies before going to Jill's friend Calisa's house, where the explosion occurred. Another woman, Melany, is there with her, and plans are made to move all of them to Jill's relatives in North Carolina.
Injustice II lacks most of the action in the first story, as Max studies Magic and does his best to hide for a while, but trouble is still following him and must be dealt with.
Hope that you enjoy these opening chapters; more next week.
Keep Well,
