He hadn't been grounded exactly, not that it would matter anyway he'd have snuck out of work when his Dad was busy. No would even know. It's not like he hadn't done it a thousand times before. Though Liam knew that his dad probably knew everything that happened in the building. But there was this thing. They'd let him go off to school with Sterling. She was doing better than she was in regular school. There were tight rules even though it was held at a burlesque club -- tho that part was totally left out. Nox had said it was at his place and it was -- mostly.
But today he'd already planned to meet with Cali. He missed her. He wished things were different but it is what it is and he loved his sister. They had scheduled their catchup at a little cafe they both liked. Liam arrived early with his laptop. He could do some of his work from the cafe -- school or otherwise.
There were lots of people on this cold day. He had an ice coffee with peppermint candy and whipped cream. It was all the rage for Christmas. He liked it. And even though it was cold he needed the icey feeling to keep his focus. His fingers fidgeted with the cup as he stared at his screen trying to read the report that had landed on his desk about some IT thing that one of the labs wanted to add. It was technical and boring and he'd rather be researching things about cybernetics and genetics and a billion other things that caught his attention.
He didn't notice the man who'd sat down at the table next to him.
