Chapter 17

Addison

Iwent back to my apartment the next day, and the day after that, before I finally just started calling the police department instead and saving myself the trip. I don’t know if there was some kind of conspiracy against me, or if the people working this case were just impressively slow, but it seemed like I would be homeless until at least the end of the week.

Cain, thankfully, had stopped actively trying to force me out of the house and appeared resigned to the fact that I would be here for a while. To make it up to him, I went out and picked up a couple of things to make dinner for everyone that night. I wasn’t the world’s greatest cook by any means, but I knew my way around a kitchen. Since none of the guys seemed to care about what they put into their mouths, I opted for spaghetti and meatballs, which was a universal crowd-pleaser.

I was still trying to pin down everyone’s schedules, which had no discernible pattern as far as I could tell, so I just aimed for dinner to be in the evening, when I assumed at least one of them would be available. I managed to catch Cain and Wyatt and lure them to the table at the same time, and they dug into the food like it was the first time they’d eaten in weeks. Honestly, it might’ve been judging by the state of their fridge.

“Would Austin like any?” I asked Wyatt between bites. I hadn’t seen him this afternoon, and I wasn’t sure if he was in the studio or upstairs in his room.

“Austin doesn’t really eat much,” he replied, shrugging, but I noticed the look he shot Cain, so there must be a little more to that than he was willing to share. There were plenty of leftovers in the fridge anyway, if he did feel like eating later on.

Midway through the meal, Piper breezed in and looked surprised to see us at the table. He looked quite pleased with himself, walking over and snagging a bite off my plate. I smacked him with my fork, pointing to the stove. “There’s plenty. Go get your own,” I told him. He gave me a cheeky wink and sauntered over to grab a plate. Wyatt was watching him, one eyebrow raised.

“What did you get up to today?” Wyatt asked him, and Cain checked him out as well.

“I went to the bar on campus,” Piper smirked, and both guys perked up with noticeable interest.

“And?” Cain prompted, but Piper was clearly enjoying himself and chose to dish up and return to the table before answering.

“And-“ Piper stuck a hand in his back pocket and pulled out a large wad of bills, which he dropped on the table with a satisfying thud. If I had to guess, there was at least $600 in his little stack. Wyatt’s jaw dropped, and he slapped Piper on the back. Cain reached out and grabbed the bills, counting through them.
