A Little Excerpt

Levi Cranston (The Magic Video Game) and Jack Andrews let their friend, Kevin Maggliardi, stay over at their house for the night, since he was involved in a pretty scary situation. Asad Prejesh and Jing Hao went into downtown Boston for the evening with Jing’s and Kevin’s roommates.

Around 8:30 pm, Mackenzie Burbanks, Levi’s girlfriend, came back to the apartment for the evening. She had spent an evening in downtown with a few of her girlfriends. She was aware of the situation with Kevin.

“Hey Mackenzie,” Levi greeted the love of his life.
“Hey Levi. Is everything alright with Kevin?” Mackenzie asked.
“He will be. He was held at gunpoint today.”
“What?!”
“Yeah, but fortunately, he didn’t have his card on him,” Levi explained.
“Oh yeah, absolutely. What all did he lose?” Mackenzie asked.
“What little cash he had.”
“At least that was all he lost. Is he staying over for the night?”
“I think so. He’s passed out on the couch.”
“I wondered with that blanket being there.”
“He’s cocooned in the blanket.”

Mackenzie went into her and Levi’s room to put away a few things. Jack stayed in the common area with Kevin, in case he woke up. He decided to watch some TV and crack open a cold one with the boys. Levi followed suit.

When Mackenzie came back into the common area, she gently shook Kevin, but he moved around on the couch without waking up.

“How’s he doing?” Levi asked Jack.
“He’s probably doing okay,” Jack replied.
“So my sister, Elizabeth, and her husband are coming in next week to look at places up here.”
“Oh, Paul got the job?”
“Yes. They were looking to leave Philadelphia anyway. They had been there for two years, and they wanted to move up here to Boston,” Levi replied.
“I like Philly,” Jack said.
“I do as well, but I would never live there.”
“Their philly cheesesteaks are pretty great.”
“Because it’s Philly.”
“True that.”

It was the next morning, at around 9 am. Jack and Asad had been up since 7 am, and Levi and Mackenzie both woke up at 8:30 am. Kevin was still not awake, but Jack could see that he got out of his blanket “cocoon.” He was sleeping on his stomach with his arms wrapped around Asad’s pillow. He just let him sleep.

An hour later, Kevin woke up on his own. He had slept for 14 hours altogether.
