“You find anything on the phone?”
“Yeah.” He had that look again. The same one he had when he told me I’d been adopted.
“What is it?” I asked, almost bored. But like I said, nothing could cut me anymore.
“He called Brian thirteen times a few days before Brian’s car accident.”
I just waited.
“And he called the Seven8 three times. He called Geezer once and there was a video.”
“A video of what?”
“Of Grayley having a conversation with Jace.”
I saw Tray pause.
“Of what?” I bit out.
“They talked about Brian. The video cut just when Grayley accused Jace of killing Brian.”
“Where was the video taken?”
“Couldn’t tell. It was just a dark room. But…there was an alarm in the back.”
“An alarm? A security alarm?”
“No. A bell, like one that goes off at the end of class.”
“They were in the school? A school bell?”
“I think so, yeah.”
“So that means that Grayley’s there—in the school?”
“I don’t know, Taryn. I just know that’s where he was when he took the video, but the phone was in the second warehouse. An empty warehouse.”
“What about the flash drive. Did you find anything?”
“Your friend Props is coming over. He’s going to take a look at it, see if he can find anything.”
“And until then…what?”
“Until then, we sit and wait.”
“We sit and wait?” Are you kidding me? “Jace’ll know I was there. I trashed their security room, Tray. What do you think he’ll do when he finds out? He’s going to come straight here. We can’t afford to just sit and wait!”
“And we don’t have enough to move on, Taryn. I’m not going into that school unless I know exactly what we’re getting ourselves into.”
“What was the point of us even going into that warehouse!?” I shrieked. My best friend was missing. My ex-boyfriend was dead and we were just sitting and waiting. Fuck waiting. “I’m going to the Seven8. I’m going to find Jace and make him talk!”
Tray stopped me before I’d gone two steps.
“No, you’re not,” he said firmly, his hand on my elbow.
I yanked my arm away and took a stand. “You have no idea, Tray!”
He got right in my face. “I have every idea, Taryn!”
