Chapter 16: Open Ended Plan
Lake didn't even bother looking up; he just dashed forward. The worst case scenario was he looked like someone who got scared easily. After getting far enough he looked back to see the other two had also moved away from the tree.
Lake had understood Dan and Jeff almost instantly. Dan was definitely in charge being the older one, so Jeff would do what he said and with Dan being so nice there's no way he would say no if Lake asked for his help.

Lake usually only stole from people he didn't like, and so far almost everyone he had met had been nice. He knew it was because he was in a small town, he needed to go to a big city that's where all the dickheads were.Continue reading on No_veLbIn
