Markus chuckled and nodded as Max reminded him that they were all in it together. While it was true that they didn't have much choice, Markus also knew not everyone would have focused on making sure the redhead didn't drink the water.
“That's true, but it still doesn't change the fact that I was woefully unprepared,” Markus said, thinking back to that night. When Max asked his question, Markus would force a laugh again. “Yeah, it turns out the subways aren't the only place haunted,” he said, referencing the conversation he overheard while in the station. “Ended up being attacked in a nightclub, not entirely sure by what, some sort of spirit, I guess.”
Markus looked directly at Max, realizing he might never get to it if he didn't ask what he wanted to know. “But that's not why I asked you here.” The redhead paused with a drink. “Fuck, this is gonna be awkward... But I have to ask. Did you, by any chance, know of Victoria?” Markus realized he should specify. “Before Mac decided to use her name for his 'campaign,' I mean,” Markus added, a bit of venom going into the word as he thought back to how he was blindsided.
