Indiana Jones does!
Rafe
FML, why am I even in this chat?
Ethan
Indiana Jones wasn’t a cowboy; he was a professor of archaeology!!!
Nate
Well, he wears a cowboy hat
Me
He wore a fucking fedora! Now please, Cas, I am begging!
Rafe
CJ, don’t make him beg *crying emoji*
Cas
You DO NOT tell her where you got this information! Got it?
Me
Understood. Now tell me what happened
Cas
Okay, well, she went to visit the baby’s father
Me
I thought she didn’t know who he was?
Ethan
What he said ^^^
Arch
Ooh snap *MJ eating popcorn gif*
Cas
I am going to be in so much trouble for this *rolling eyes emoji*
Cas
Hayleigh remembered some things about him and what he did for a job or something. But Cole, it didn’t go well, and Lacey’s pretty messed up. He practically shoved her out of the way and…
I close off the chat, not wanting to read anymore. No fucking way I’m leaving Lacey to deal with this herself. Usually, I’m a placid guy and prefer to talk about things rather than go in guns blazing. Right now, though, I want to rip that fucking piece of shit's head off his neck.

I arrive at Lacey’s and see her car parked out front, but when I get to the door and knock, there’s no answer. I bang on the door a couple more times before putting my ear to it and ringing her phone. Sure enough, her ringtone sounds through the door, then a muffled curse. She answers the door a few minutes later, hair all mussed and eyes heavy from sleep. She takes one look at me and, resigned, she opens the door to let me in.
