“Our fathers... that's who!” our friend scowls fiercely, “My father put me in a sleeper hold, knocking me out! I just came to, and everyone is gone! I must have bumped my head when I fell to the floor.”

“Wait,” Saint becomes alert, “When you say everyone...”

“Fucking EVERYONE! Our fathers took Felicia, Kaden, and Chris with them!”

“Son of a fucking bitch! I knew they were up to something,” I curse as I set Saint back on her feet, steadying her until she can stand alone, “Let's go...”

“There's more!” Oakley hands me a piece of paper, and I skim over it before I curse again and pass it to Saint.

Sorry, kids, but this is how it has to be. Just know the three will be cared for, but not here. Don't ask us what will become of them because it's safer if you do not know the answer. We are doing what is best for all parties involved, and this way, no more lives will be lost.

We have not given any of you a reason to trust us, but we hope you can do so just this once. Everything we have done has been out of love for you, even if you don't see it as that. Take care of each other, and we will see you soon.

Love,

Your Fathers

“Un-fucking-believable!” I put my hands on my hips and tilt my face toward the sky, trying to calm myself down.

“What will they do with them?” Saint asks, looking just as pissed as the rest of us.

“I don't know, but we sure as fuck are going to find out,” I growl, “Let's go.”

I walk towards Oakley's car, and everyone else follows suit. I'm not sure what's going to happen when we find our fathers, but I'm not leaving until we find out what the actual fuck is going on. I hold the door open for Saint and wait until she gets into the back seat before climbing in after her. Whatever is going on is not going to happen without us being there. We are fucking adults, and it's about time they started treating us as such, even if it means we must implicate ourselves.










FIFTY-FIVE

Oakley

To say I'm beyond pissedwould be putting it mildly. I can't believe my father would do this to me. Wait, actually, I can. Was this their plan all along? Bring Kaden to the cabin just to appease us, then snatch all three? I couldn't care less about what happens to Kaden and the dragon lady; they were part of the threats, but if it's to be believed...Chris is innocent in everything.

“What are we going to do now?” my Kitty Cat asks as she gently places an ice pack on the bump on my head.

“We find our fathers. They won't hide from us, but by the time they show themselves, it will mean that they've already disposed of Chris, Felicia, and Kaden,” I tell her, “We need to find them before they do that.”

We came straight to the Frat House to grab a few things from our stash. Not knowing what we will be up against, I want to be prepared for anything. My Kitty Cat is refusing to go anywhere until I ice my bump. It's sweet of her, really, but we don't have time for me to be coddled. The look she gave me when I told her this a moment ago actually put me in my place, if you can believe that shit. I sighed and sat down so she could play Nurse Kitty Cat.
