Chapter Fourteen

After the call with Olivia, I head over to Griffin’s. It takes him only seconds to open the door and wave me inside. He’s smiling until I mention the poetry slam.

“I don’t really do groups that well,” he says, leaning against the doorframe to his kitchen.

“Don’t you want to meet people?” I smile, aiming to sound playful. The last thing I want is to annoy him. “You don’t know anyone here but me, right?”

His lips curve into a wicked grin, and he edges away from the doorframe. “You’re right. I guess you’ve been enough for me, so I didn’t realize I was lacking anything.”

My heart beats like it’s the end of a fireworks show, blasting until the detonations and colors dissipate. It takes too long to find my words. “Well, I think you could use another person or two. Maybe Jack. He’s a dude. You could use a dude in your life. Sure, I met him only once, but if Olivia loves him, he can’t be that bad.” So long as Jack doesn’t turn out to be an a-hole in disguise.

Griffin chuckles. “You really want me to go that badly?”

“I have a hard time saying no to Liv. I might’ve already agreed. I actually get to kill two birds with one stone—I’m going to bring my camera and see if I can get an epic shot before I finish my portfolio for the scholarship. And Jack is willing to look into things for me, since the cops aren’t helping, and you and I have gotten nowhere.”

One brow rises, and he removes his hands to cross his arms. “What do you need his help for?”

“He’s got hacking capabilities. Olivia said he’s good at finding things. I figured, why not?”

“What exactly do you expect to find?” His voice is on the verge of annoyance. I’m confused by it.

Wait, is he jealous?

“Well.” I cross my own arms, feeling self-conscious. I immediately drop my hands and try to shake off the unnecessary nerves. I want to tell him there’s no reason to be jealous, but maybe I should use it to my advantage. “Anything that might lead to figuring out who’s doing these awful things. Don’t you want answers, too?”

Griffin sighs. “Of course I do.” He runs a hand through his hair before letting both arms fall to his sides. “I just don’t want to spend every waking hour thinking about the shit that’s been happening. Do I worry about it? Yeah, sure, but I can’t obsess over it. I did enough obsessing and worrying before I left Arizona. I can’t go through that again. We’ve given the police all the information we know. Your friend’s boyfriend isn’t going to find anything that the cops can’t find.”

What world is he living in? The police aren’t always able to help; sometimes they don’t even want to. Frustrated, I open my mouth to respond but shut it just as quickly. He could be right—Jack might not be any help, either. But I’m willing to try. I have to try.
