Playing Possum

Max's blood froze when he saw Kevin approach. "Oh shit..." He looked to Serenity. "Okay don't freak out, but that guy over there knows me and he's... he a weird guy. He has a pet possum in that bag. Just don't freak out, okay?"

"Hey, Max! Bonnie wanted to see her favorite man!"

Max smiled and nodded with a wave. "Hi Bonnie. This is Serenity, my student." The way he said "student" emphasizing the fact he was currently working.
