Black as Night, Black as Coal...

Located directly adjacent to the Rec Center is the Student Union building, housing a well-stocked bar and arcade, billiards and an open area with couches and coffee tables.

Black as Night, Black as Coal...

Shortly after a hasty exit from the Point, Sam is staring intently at the barista at the campus coffee shop as they prepare something with six shots of espresso, plus whatever's been on the back burner all night.

"It had to be Cam bloody Banks," she mutters.

"You know that guy?" Nailah asks from where she's leaning against the counter. She's still feeling kinda cocky and hopped up on adrenaline after their successful heist.

"Tosh seems pretty tame already. When he's not all sharky anyway. Was that sprinkler thing real? Cause it sounded like a joke..."
