Chapter 79

Marcus hadn't really wanted to trouble Victoria-after all, Max had already told her about the game.

Victoria smiled easily. "No worries. Some friends of mine actually helped develop this game years ago. Plus, I'm not too bad at this sort of thing-I might even be able to help Max pull off a win."
