“Sure! Now, let’s go on the mission!” You’re content with the amount of teasing you’ve done to your lovely teacher, and decide to move on! You put your clothes back on.
“Huh?! <span class="mu-i">Oh…</span> Sure, yes, the recruitment.” Nina feels conflicted about getting what she asked for, but not what she needs.
“I was thinking about bringing Henry and Oliver over.” You give your referrals.
“Oliver is doable, but Henry...” Nina looks down. “He doesn’t listen to us anymore. We have the cats keeping his trail to ensure he’s safe, but that’s as far as it goes nowadays.”
“What about Billy? Did he ignore him after he saved his skin?” You ask.
“No, absolutely not. He’s looking for him on his own. Trying to rectify his mistake, but alas.” Nina sighs. Yeah, Billy ain’t here, is he?
“We’re cleaning his mess, right? He should be interested. Shoot him a message, he’ll listen.” You act a little harsh.
“If only it was that easy. He blocked us.” Nina points out. “I know I can find another way to communicate with him, but it’s not as simple as a call. Could you do it yourself?”
“Right.” You pull out your phone to make a call. You’re blocked too. What a bitch this guy is. “No luck.”
“I imagined so.” Nina sighs. “I’m afraid that if we don’t get him involved, we’ll lose him forever. We have lost too many. I don’t know if I can take one more.”
“I know. I’ll figure something out. You call Oliver.” You think it’s time for Henry to take some responsibility.
“Thank you, Johnny.” Nina sounds like an exhausted Mom. Not like you have ever seen a dad do much work…
As far as problematic things you have dealt with, whatever Henry has going on is not even near the top. 75% of your direct family tried to kill you, your hobo wanted to kill herself, your best friend did in a way, your other friend betrayed you but tried to redeem himself before his demise, and... This is getting way too sad to remember. Point is, you’ve been friends with criminals, bastards, people who tried to kill you, and more. What’s Henry compared to all that? Just a guy having a bad time, and you must help him like you have helped many others!
<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>Find Henry’s address and have a talk.
>Call George. He’s Henry’s best buddy and a nice level-headed guy, he can inform Henry about the mission.
>You know what? Screw Henry. This is not about him, it’s about Billy. You’re going to move on without him.
>Write In.
