Authors note: Sorry I'm posting a bit late in the day. there was a blackout around my house.

    Max laughed a downright evil laugh as he walked up to the security guard station. They recently put a citation on blockbuster for selling candy without a permit, so he was gonna get a bit of revenge. Thanks to some bullshit about owning an apartment in the mall, they can't ban him from the rest of the mall. They were either going to make an exception, or they were going to regret fucking with his dad....er, his store.

"This is gonna be awesome!" Nikki said excitedly. It's been a long time since they caused chaos purely for the sake of chaos. She really missed all the fires and the screaming. Ever since Max became David's son, his heart just wasn't in it anymore, at least not at camp Campbell. His new brand of chaos always had too many goals and not enough destruction.

"I read online how to hotwire a segway, and I got pretty good at it too," Neil said. "I just really hope they don't call my parents....."

"Don't worry Neil," Max said with a devious smile. "You just have to work your parents against each other so that whatever punishment you do get is practically nonexistent. Davids not gonna do shit to me, the worst he's gonna do is give me a hug."

"Your lucky, my parents ground me and take away my computer," Neil complained. "I don't really care that much anymore since I went camping, but it's still annoying to be without my machine."

"I'm lucky?" Max asked skeptically, giving Neil an annoyed look. It took David's reaction to his scars for him to actually understand just how fucked up his life was. He didn't know why, but it never really hit him how bad it really was until he saw how other people reacted to it. It's like his whole life was just one fucked up nightmare, and he just thought it was....normal. He cursed himself for being so fucking blind, and not doing anything about it sooner.

"Oh right....sorry Max, I forgot," Neil said as he remembered the scars on Max's back. They still haven't gone away, no matter how much skin care crap David keeps putting on them. David wants him to pretend it's one big bad dream he can just forget about, but it's getting really hard to do that when people keep mentioning it and acting like it's a big fucking deal.

He's not some piece of glass that can break at any second, and he's sick of people acting like they can just walk all over him. Max plan for today, is to remind them that he's made of steel. They're going to regret making him out to be some broken child in need of fixing. He'll show them that he's just another kid, with a penchant for causing some chaos.

"Come on, I got the key to the segway depot if we do this right we can race them all the way back to the blockbuster," Max said with a devious smile. He waited until the security guard walked away from the depot to go one his patrol, and raced forward toward the door. Nikki suddenly hopped on his shoulders and quickly unlocked the door letting the three of them slip inside.

They walked in the room but stopped when they saw Nerf already sitting in behind a fenced wall. It was basically mall jail, so it's not like he was in any real trouble. His foster family is considered residents of the mall, so at best he was just being held in there temporarily. Nerf is only in foster care until his mother gets out of jail. She is in actual jail, so it's not like the government would just leave him in the streets or throw him in with her. It's out of practicality, and it's not sad, so no one feel bad for Nerf.

At least he has a home, and his mother always visits when she breaks out. In fact, her sentence got extended specifically because she stabbed his last foster parents for not feeding him enough. His current ones are too scared to try and send him away or abuse him, so he's actually kind of happy thanks to his mother's psychotic tendencies.
