I noticed. Tell him over that link of yours so he can't pretend he didn't see my message. I'll give him a ride.

Will do. I've already told him you're going; he won't try to weasel out of it coming from me.

Good. I'll figure out his location and pick him up.

Thank you, Tex. I know you're not just doing this because we pay you.

[ You can almost feel the dry sarcasm dripping off the return text. Yeah, she cares about Miles more than she'll admit. ] Try not to let the word get around. It'll ruin my reputation.

With someone personally following you around to warn others off, I don't know that anything I could say would do that.

So far the asshole has only done it twice, but I'm trying to make sure it doesn't become a habit.

I can't fathom what you've done to warrant it.

He's an idiot, but I think he's figured out it's better to stay out of my business.

Even the slow learn with enough repeated application of force?

It was worse. Trust me.

[ The emotional and guilt route had done far more damage when he stepped over the line. ]

I do. Thank you for looking after Miles.

And thanks for updating me. It'd be harder to keep track of where he's about to get in trouble without the live updates.

Allies in Miles-tracking? It's much harder at home without this link. I have a leg up.

More like allies in preserving his life. Does he always make these kinds of decisions?

Yes. Always.

Just so you know what you're getting into.

Good thing I don't mind the excitement.

Good. It's nice to see Miles with someone who can keep up with him.

He's moves a lot faster than I would have expected.

I find it's better for people to discover that on their own than be warned in advance. He also likes the element of surprise.

Yeah, I've noticed that already.

I'll keep you updated as things happen, unless you're getting enough from your feed from him.

No, since he'll be in a power nullification field, I won't be getting anything. Updates would be appreciated as convenient.

I'll send them as needed.

Appreciated.
