\"Portals<\/a><\/p>\n

“You just look perfectly average!\u201d Simon exclaimed, and even as the words came out of his mouth, he saw the pit he\u2019d dug for himself with the spiders and snakes in the bottom. Abort abort abort<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Experience had taught them that if the ritual wasn\u2019t performed, the snakes would all head for the apple tree in front of Bartholomew and Alex\u2019s house, turning the rather average bit of flora into a writhing herpetological nightmare by morning.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cSimon? Your boss?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Alex said, and there must have been something really off about his voice because Jordan and Kate both stopped at the same time Josh and Alex kept going.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHe\u2026 uh\u2026 I didn\u2019t know it when he asked me to lunch, but, uh, it was sort of a\u2026. Well, he wants to do it again.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cEat?\u201d Josh asked, and Kate smacked him on the arm. \u201cWhat?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYes, eat,\u201d Alex retorted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So the company is safe, the branches are safe, and you\u2019re fucked.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
