CHAPTER EIGHT

Sanders blinked in at us. “I thought I heard shouting. What the hell are you guys doing in here? Or...” He stepped back and looked us over. “Should I leave?”

“No,” I said. “We're fine.”

I stepped out of Jake's hold and his hands fell to his sides. A wave of hurt crossed his face before quickly changing back to his normal stoic countenance. “I was just about to take Cas to our room so that we can share what we learned with her and she can share what she knows with us.”

“You've been helping, Sanders?”

He nodded.

“I appreciate it.” I looked between the two. “We need Troian here. He's been helping me.”

“Fine,” Jake said. “Take care of that Sanders?”

We didn't wait for an answer. Jake led me down a few more hallways until we got to a section of the building that looked more hospitable. There was more light and different colors that made the area feel homey-ish. In another situation, I would've said it looked like a college dorm, but compared to what we were just in, it was homey.

We stopped in the middle of the hallway while Jake unlocked a door. He led me into a small common room with four doors that led off from it. He explained that two were bedrooms, one was the bathroom, and another was a small kitchen. The room we were in was bare. Then, he opened up the furthest door to the right. It looked and smelled of Jake. His bedroom, right down to the color of his sheets on the bed, reminded me of his room from when we were kids.

A picture on the desk stood out. I walked forward and grabbed it. Smiling, I turned and held it out. “You have a picture of all of us?” I'd meant it to be a statement, but it came out more like a question. For not seeing us in years, it seemed like a weird thing to have out in the open.

“Why wouldn't I?”

I stared down at us in the picture. I was super young, seven maybe. The boys were probably just teenagers themselves. I ran my finger over Damen's face. We fought a lot back then. To be fair, I was annoying. That had all since past though. I'd grown out of that phase and realized there were bigger things at stake in Salem than just what my world had revolved around.

The hallway door banged open and I jumped. Hearing Troian's voice, I placed the picture back on Jake’s desk.

“What happened to you?” Troian asked.

I turned but Jake was already answering for me. “Etau asked her for a private meeting.”

Troian’s jaw ticked.

“Then I found them in a closet,” Sanders said.

Troian’s eyes flared and his face turned red.

Everyone stared at me so I felt compelled to say something. “Apparently Jake and Sanders have been looking into things here even though I've explained to Jake that the next time he keeps me in the dark, I'm going to kick his ass. It’s time
