Bastian: Did he murder you?

Bastian: WHY IS NO ONE RESPONDING?

I roll my eyes again and then read Elisha’s text messages.

Elisha: So? How’s it going? Did we get those books?

I frown. I haven’t even thought about the books since yesterday when he showed them to me.

Elisha: You’re boring and so I stalked Adam Wellington online. HOLY SHITBALLS! I don’t know what he looks like now, but like ten years ago…(flames emoji).

Elisha: Gurlll…if you don’t try to get a piece of that while you’re stuck out there, then I’m going to find my old cross-country skis and come over.

My eyes widen when I see the next text. It’s a group chat with Bastian, Max, and Elisha.

Bastian: Elisha, have you heard from Isa?

Max: I heard from Joe who spoke to Harry who’s married to Kelly whose dad works for the telecom company that the cell tower by the estate is out.

Elisha: Say what?

Bastian: Translation: Max sucks at texting. The cell tower is down, so maybe that’s why we can’t get ahold of Adam or Isa?

Elisha: Oh. Right.

Bastian: But Adam isn’t picking up the landline or answering emails. I hope the power didn’t go out or worse, the Wi-Fi!

Elisha: Calm down there, Mr. Final Destination. There are worse things than no Wi-Fi.

Bastian: Like what?

Elisha: (eye-rolling emoji)

Bastian: Seriously, what could be worse?

Max: Ignore Bastian, he’s…just ignore him.

Bastian: I used to like you.

Max: You didn’t have a problem earlier today. (winking emoji)

Elisha: Ewww. This is an intimate-relationship-free zone.

Max: Oh come on…we all know you secretly want a piece of Mason Conover.

Elisha: Uh, no.

Bastian: How much did your nose grow just now?

Elisha: Whatever. Mason’s fine, but we’re just friends.

Max: Friends. Is that what the kids are calling it now?

Elisha: (eye-rolling emoji)

Bastian: I am worried about them. Adam is…Adam. And Isa went in there with some massive lady balls, which means there are two alphas stuck in that house right now…that defies the law of nature.

Max: Shit. Adam didn’t know she was coming over, right?
