Scott’s mother and grandmother.
This is bad.
At least to Tanner and everyone else, this is bad.
Then again, I’m playing by a different set of rules at this point.
I think I know a way to work it out for my benefit.
“Your Scott’s mom,” I confirm.
She nods.
Ezra, Damon and Taylor curse under their breath.
Thankfully, Jase isn’t here for this, or he’d be losing his shit, demanding information on Everly.
Attempting to clear this mistake up and clean up the damn mess, I give Constance an explanation.
“We’re friends of Brinley’s and came down to Georgia to surprise her. She said she’d be staying at her mom’s old house and gave us this address.”
Constance looks confused, so I continue.
“She couldn’t remember where her mom used to live, but she found her mom’s old driver’s licenses. One of those houses had been torn down, so she thought this one—”
“Ah, now that makes sense. I moved to this house when I first came to Georgia from California, but when Shelly moved down, she listed my address for her license because she knew that the house she first rented would only be temporary. From what I remember, she didn’t change it until she bought a house and moved again.”
So there’s another house. I have a sneaking suspicion it’s the one Jerry and Scott are hiding in.
Taylor steps up to stand beside me. “You wouldn’t happen to know the address of the house she rented, would you?”
“I don’t. I’m sorry. That was decades ago. Since then Shelly and I both got married and raised our children. Well, Shelly died before she could fully raise Brinley—”
Yeah, yeah. That’s sad and all, but also not helpful.
Agnes mumbles, and I glance at her. A sigh falls over my lips and I feel like a complete dick for tying up and gagging an elderly grandmother.
Walking over to her, I pull the gag off and loosen the hand towel we’d used to bind her wrists. After that, I do the same for Constance.
“I’m sorry about all of this. It really is just a mistake.”
Constance laughs, the sound not quite sturdy, but at least she’s calming down.
“I’m not sure what games you kids like to play with each other these days, but let me give you a tip that might help you. Scaring the hell out of woman and tying her up is not the way you get her to like you.”
I grin because there are some ways of tying a woman up that not only makes her like you but scream your name in a good way.
Constance doesn’t need to know that.
“You boys are very handsome, and I can’t lie and say I haven’t been enjoying the view,” Agnes admits, her voice sweet and coquettish. “And you look hungry. There are some fresh baked cookies in the kitchen if you’d like me to make you a plate. Plus, a fresh batch of sweet tea in the fridge that I whipped up before going to bed. Would you like some?”
The twins instantly nod their heads, Damon walking over to offer his hand to help her up from the couch.
I glare at him.
He shrugs and mouths,It’s cookies.
Shaking my head, I come to a decision as to how I’m going to turn this major fuckup into a golden opportunity.
