I hate that fucker.
“Yeah, and almost got us all caught.” An inhale and then a stream of smoke floats out the window. Zach continues, “If we hadn’t been tipped off, we all would have been off our teams and some of us probably would have landed in jail. That wouldn’t have made our boss happy at all.”
Boss?
“Fuck off. Caden’s sister wasn’t even worth it,” Tanner says. “Fucking virgins.”
“I bet Harper has learned how to take a dick or five.” Zach chuckles and there’s some words of agreement in the room. My stomach twists. Assholes.
“What we need to do is steer Sidney’s plan to our benefit,” another voice says. He sounds more confident than Tanner and less cocky than Zach. My gaze darts to the shadow of Eli beside me, but I can’t say or do anything besides stand here.
“Sidney wants a distraction. Let’s give her one,” the first voice says.
“So, it’s going down at Homecoming then?” Tanner asks.
“Not that you’ll be there.” Zach flicks his used joint out the open window. “But you can join the afterparty. I guarantee you won’t want to miss it.”
CHAPTER 38
The Last Draw
Luke
I pace my basement, while Nico, Jack, and Caden alternate between watching me and the linked camera. My father had to work late. Not surprising, but at least it gives us a place to hang out without being hovered over. Caden’s parents have been home all week, but that won’t last long.
Penny is upstairs in her room. That’s the only odd piece.
Fuck, I should have insisted Eli and Harper come over here. What was I thinking trusting Eli to keep our girl safe?
The camera doesn’t show everything, but we’ve heard it all. Including the fact that Tanner is working with Zach and the drugs Coach found in Tanner’s locker might be part of a larger drug ring. They might be dealing or just moving them. We knew about Tanner, but not Zach’s crew.
“Get out of there now,” I growl into my phone. “We’ve got enough.”
Eli:
Wait
They’ve moved away from the window, but we might get more
“If you stay longer, you’ll get caught.” I want to throw my phone at the wall. Get in my car and drive to their location and grab them both to drag them to safety.
I don’t know what they’ll do to Harper if they catch her. Eli can handle himself in a fight, but not against at least five guys while trying to protect Harper.
Eli:
We need to find out their plan
“Fuck, Eli. Get her out of there.”
“Are you sure you weren’t followed?” Tanner’s voice comes from the computer speakers that Jack set up for the camera.
“Fuck, no. Eli’s probably balls deep in Harper right now.” Trace Masters. He’s a fucking pansy. “I can’t wait to take a turn.”
Caden growls and our gazes lock. Yeah, that’s never happening.
“Get out or we’re coming there.” I run a hand through my hair.
Eli:
