MISSED CHANCE

When Max got back to the casino late than usual, he wasn't reprimanded by anyone for turning up for work like he had thought he would after he left Danny to hitch a ride on a bus to the central part of the city from the suburbs. He was lucky to avoid being suspended if the boss was actually around as usual mostly because there were few gamblers inside the main fancy hall of the building when he arrived and the few other workers he met inside had everything under control without the need of him involving himself but he was told that someone familiar came looking for him half an hour ago when he wasn't around and a partial description of how the stranger looked like undoubtedly told him that it was Jeremy Garcia, his best friend. Realizing who the strange visitor might be based on the little description given to him, he quickly excused himself and went to find the nearest phone booth so that he could return back in time to resume work for the day.
