Nothing more of moment happens until Thursday, but then Trouble's back. Bella spots him at lunch and sits next to him; Andi follows.

"Hey, you."

"Hey yourself," he says, grinning. His left arm is still in a cast, but it doesn't appear to be slowing him down much. "So how was your week?"

"Had a fight with Charlie. Otherwise nothing out of the ordinary."

"She's been researching his cult. It is pretty culty."

"I forget the cult," says Trouble. "Tell me all about the cult."

"It's called the Sharing, and Dad joined up over the summer and then got really into it and now he wants us to join up to a local chapter."

"The Sharing?" He blinks. "Huh. How 'bout that."

"You know someone in it too?"

He quirks a wry little smile. "I might."

"But their membership might've lapsed without you being informed?"

He gives her a mildly impatient look. "Skip it," he says.

Bella makes a small, exasperated gesture. "Anyway. He hasn't called back since we got into a fight Sunday night."

"Sorry to hear it," says Trouble. "You okay?"

"I'll be fine."

"Next summer we might stay with Mom though."

"Good thing you've got the two of them, I guess," he murmurs.

"Yeah - uh - is this a sore spot?"

He shrugs; smiles. "Not a big one."

"I don't know anything about your family at all come to think of it."

"Yep," says Trouble. "That's 'cause I don't want you to."

"Oh. Well, I guess that makes sense."

Bella laughs a nervous, helpless laugh.

Trouble smiles and shakes his head.

"Anyway, there's a creepy pattern if you look at the press about them over time -" And Bella describes the way retractions tend to be issued.

"Shit," says Trouble. "That is creepy. I'm creeped."
