“YOU TWO want to tell me what the hell you thought you were doing by walking out like that?” Miah asked, his head throbbing he was so pissed.

Who walked out during the middle of an interview without a word? Who the hell did that? Apparently the two dumbasses sitting in front of him like they didn’t have a fucking care in the world. Well, at least one of them looked that way. Finn was as shit-eating as usual. Evin, however, looked freaked-out and more than a little guilty.

“I don’t know, man,” Finn responded with a shrug that made Miah want to commit murder one.

“We… I mean, well, Finn here,” Evin sputtered as he stabbed a thumb in Finn’s direction. “He started to freak out a little, you know, his eyes got all wild looking and I swear I thought he was going to start foaming at the mouth. So when he set his guitar down and walked out, I followed. Umm, you know, to make sure he was okay.”

Miah narrowed his eyes. Evin’s eyes were shifting back and forth as he spoke, and he still had yet to make eye contact. Evin was lying, he could smell it.

“What he said,” Finn chuckled. “I’m fucking starving. You got anything, Mom?”

Ritchie threw him a bag of chips. Finn snatched them out of the air easily, ripped open the bag, and shoved a large handful into his mouth.

“Are you drunk?” Miah accused, leaning over Finn and sniffing him. Wait. “Were you smoking, you stupid shit? One fucking promise you made to Ritchie ’cause his grandpa died of lung cancer and you freak out and break it?” He couldn’t smell the bitterness of tobacco, but the chips Finn was shoveling into his mouth could have covered it. What other explanation was there? Finn was a former smoker who hadn’t picked up a pack in years, but maybe the pressure was getting to him.

“Umm, maybe?” Finn replied, chips falling out of his mouth as he spoke.

“He was having a bit of a panic attack,” Evin tried to explain again, but the excuse fell even more flat this time.

“Miah, it’s fine even if he did. All that matters is Finn is okay,” Ritchie remarked. “You know the close-quarters fan gigs are tough for him.”

Both Evin and Finn appeared to flinch at Ritchie’s forgiving acceptance of their bullshit lies. Whatever game they were playing hadn’t involved Ritchie, and Miah didn’t know whether to be happy with that development or not.

“It doesn’t fucking happen again,” Miah grumbled and pointed at both of them in frustration.

None of this made any sense, but Miah was too worn down to push it any further. Despite Finn and Evin walking out, the meet-and-greet had been a success. Shit, maybe it had been better because of their mysterious departure. But he wouldn’t give Finn the satisfaction of admitting that. He was the one in control of Rez, and he wasn’t going to hand that power over to anyone else.
