“I’m going to grab more wine,” Gigi stated, staring into her empty cup. “Did you want anything?”
“No, thank you.” I was still nursing my own glass of wine. Just wasn’t feeling it tonight, for whatever reason.
About a half an hour later, once the party was in full swing, I had every intention of going to check on Luna like Vince suggested. But when I saw Jaron rush into the house, I thought better of it. I was lost in my own head and didn’t even know he had shown up.
Following him, I saw Gigi muttering quietly to him.
“Have you seen Piper?” she asked him, looking around her. “We bumped into each other and spilled our wine. Some landed on her dress and she was going to change.”
“That was half an hour ago,” I added, joining them.
Jaron went back to the patio door and muttered a curse.
“Jaron?” Gigi raised an eyebrow.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and stormed toward the hall leading to our bedrooms.
“What’s going on?” Gigi followed him.
“Which room is Piper’s?” he demanded, inching his way down the hall.
“Last one on the left.” Her eyes were wide. “I can’t find Brody.”
My heart jumped. There was no way…Brody Davies had been a bit odd, but that was it. He was the mayor’s son and showed up at Gigi’s parties just because his father hated it. It was innocent though, wasn’t it?
“Stay out here,” Jaron told us as two large men came into the house.
“Who are you?” Gigi asked, jumping.
“They’re with me.” Jaron went down the hall, with the two men following him.
I rushed to Gigi and grabbed her hands. “You don’t think something happened, do you?”
“I don’t know. I mean…” She hesitated. “Brody’s always been a bit off, but it’s never been anything more than that. Or I never thought it was. Hell, we don’t even see the guy often.”
Now that he was older, he was always in the spotlight with his dad. The press ate him up because of his charm and good looks. I never thought he could actually do anything bad, especially with what his father did and who he was. None of this made any sense at all.
I moved to the end of the hall. Jaron and the other guys were nowhere to be found.
“I just told everyone they should go,” Gigi said, coming up beside me. “It’s getting late anyway.”
It wasn’t but she made a good choice, telling everyone to leave. Something told me that tonight would end up being more than just a random party.
My phone vibrated. I pulled it from my back pocket.
Shade: You still at that party?
Me: Yeah. You guys close by?
Shade: We are.
Me: Let me guess, Sunny wanted to be close by in case I got bored.
Shade: Something like that.
A breath of relief left me. This would be one of those times where I didn’t give a shit about Sunny’s overprotective nature. I had a feeling I was going to need it before the night was over.
Suddenly, two cops came barreling into the house.
