He braced himself for whatever Zander was about to say.
“You need to go over to Savannah 's cabin.”
Shit, shit, shit. “Why?”
“Because there may be a situation.”
Theo sat up straighter on the couch where he'd been lounging, tricking himself into thinking that he was watching the baseball game on television.
“Did she call someone?” And if she had. Why? He was right here.
Because she doesn't want you to know that she has a situation.
Dammit.
But she had to know he'd find out.
“No, she hasn't called anybody,” Zander said. “Yet.”
“What is going on?” So something was happening that she wouldpotentiallybe calling someone for?
“Okay, it's going to sound like they were trying to drive her out of the cabin, which…okay, they were. But not for the reason you’re going to think.”
Zander shifted so that his feet were on the floor, and he could lean his elbows on his knees. He dropped his head into one of his hands. He wasn’t going to like this. “Who did what?”
“Zeke, Owen, and Cian —”
That was all Zander had to say. Theo was already on his feet. But he did want to know exactly what they had done.
“I'm putting my boots on,” he said. “Fill me in.”
“With some help from Mitch,” Zander added.
Theo frowned. “Mitch?”
Mitch Landry was one of the nice ones. A really good guy. He wasn't really a prankster. Well, he could be talked into pranks, but they were almost never his idea and they were generally the good-natured ones. Whereas Zeke, Owen, and Cian were definitely more prone to pranks that were mischievous, borderline annoying, borderline offensive, borderline you–will-probably–want–to-kill–them.
“Tell me,” Theo said firmly.
“Well, there might be a dead nutria or two over there. In cupboards and stuff,” Zander said.
Theo blew out a breath. He probably could've guessed that. Nutria were the large, very annoying rodents that lived in the marshlands.
“Find out what cupboards.”
“That's not the worst of it,” Zander said.
Theo went to his kitchen to set his beer bottle down. “What else?”
“Remember that big life-sized, very real looking rubber alligator that Owen got a year ago?”
Theo’s eyes widened. “The one that almost ended his marriage and his life?”
Owen’s wife, Maddie, wasn't a fan of alligators, found her husband’s sense of humor less than adorable much of the time, and Owen had ended up spending three nights on Zeke’s couch after he'd bought that rubber alligator.
“That's the one. It's now somewhere around that cabin. Somewhere she could stumble upon it.”
“Those assholes,” Theo said.
