“Catalina! You will not talk to me so disrespectfully! First off, I knew you were in good hands with the Lords. I've been doing my investigative work on my end. We are trying to figure out who is doing this; there are cameras all over campus and the town, so we have been watching the footage to see what we can find out.”
“Who the fuck is we?” my girl growls out her question.
“Who do you think? Your little boyfriends' fathers and myself!” Mr. Scott yells through the phone.
“If you know why this is being done, why are you not just coming clean? It's all they want, for Christ's sake, Dad! Fess up to the rape, and this will all be over.”
Nothing but momentary silence comes from the other end before her father sighs, “You don't understand everything, Catty.”
I see Lina cringe at her father's nickname for her, “You're absolutely right because you and their fathers are too much of pussies to tell us what happened. You're so afraid of the alums coming after you that you would rather see your children get hurt. Well, don't worry, Dad, we'll figure it all out on our own. Don't waste your time investigating... we've got this!”
My girl hangs up on her father and pockets her phone. She stands up, and I let her. She's frustrated and hurt by her father's actions and words, and I can't blame her one bit. I'm glad she has us; we're her family now, and we will always have her back.
Fynn finally returnswith a nurse who looks bedraggled as she approaches Lina, “Please, sit so I can check you out, Miss Scott.” The nurse side-eyes my best friend as he stands with his arms crossed and an annoyed look on his face.
I don't say anything until the nurse has cleared Lina and hurries from the room, “Okay, spill. What did you do to that poor woman?”
Fynn shrugs, “She didn't want to come to check Little Saint out because she didn't come by ambulance and wasn't told about her. She was too busy texting on her phone. It took me a bit because I hacked into her social media account and found a few interesting things about Nurse Deedee. It seems she likes to party a little too hard and loves hercandy, so I had to blackmail her to come check our girl out.” He caresses Lina's head as he explains all this to us.
“Fynn, you do know that I'm standing right here, right?” His Uncle Tyler chuckles.
“What did you hear?” Fynn asks his uncle.
“Oh, did you say something?” Tyler grins.
“Exactly...” Fynn smirks, “Now, what's going on here?”
I go on to tell him everything we have discussed as we've waited. By the time I finish, Fynn's full stature is tense. There is a tick in his jaw that wasn't there when I started, and he sits down, pulling Lina onto his lap.
“You better fucking believe that we have this,” Fynn scowls, “If our fathers didn't want to help in the first place, then we don't need them now. Fuck any kind of test to see if we have what it takes. Our lives are being threatened, and they're worried about their fucking reputations!”
“Fynn, I'm sorry,” Tyler places his hand on his nephew's shoulder. I hadn't realized how much of a dick my brother was being. Please, anything you need, just ask.”
My friend looks at his uncle and nods, “Thanks, Uncle Ty.”
The door opens, and a doctor walks in, “Are any of you Mr. Harris's family?”
I growl at his question, “We are his brothers.”
The doctor stares at us in question, and Chief Morin speaks up, “You can tell us, Dr. Logan. Oakley would want them to know before any other family member. As you can see, his parents aren't even here, and they have been informed.”
“If you say so, Chief Morin,” the doctor clears his throat, “Yourbrotheris a fortunate man. I was worried he might have broken his back in the fall. Falling from two stories up is likely to do that, but someone was definitely watching over him today. He has a concussion, so we will keep him overnight for that alone, but I also want to ensure nothing else occurs after the fact.”
“Can we see him?” I ask hopefully.
“Yes. The nurse can take you to his room, but he is still out of it a bit from the painkillers. We want him to stay awake as much as possible for now. So, if you can keep him from going to sleep, that would be helpful. Just don't let him do anything too stressful.”
“We won't,” the three of us say while Tyler remains quiet in the background.
When we go to walk out, Tyler grabs our attention, “I'm going to head out for now, but I will be back later to talk to Oakley. I'll need to verify stuff for my report.”
“Thanks, Uncle Ty. We appreciate all your help.” Fynn says, and I nod in agreement, “If you get the chance, can you check the security feed for the office? Maybe the person fucked up and is caught on camera.”
“Will do. You kids stay safe, and I will send an officer to stand outside Oakley's door. The last thing we need is for this person to return and finish their job.”
The Chief's last words before he walks out leave chills racing down my spine. It's all becoming surreal now that the stalker has upped their game. We are getting hurt, and I have a feeling that it's only the beginning. Whoever this fucker is, they are really good. We can usually find out everything that happens on campus, but we're stumped over this one. One thing is for sure; we will not stop until we bring this motherfucker down for good.
