Chapter 24

It’s nearly an hour later when the guy towing Preston’s car phones him, and he and Barrett leave to meet him.

We phoned Oliver while we waited. Apparently he’s sitting outside the school right now, watching us. Like that’s not fucking concerning! Kirk’s got other guys traipsing through the forest, looking for us.

According to Oliver, a lot of his men are out of town, sourcing new investors for The Citadel and dealing with some crisis back home. Whatever the reason, it works in our favor.

Oliver believes he won’t make a move against Preston or Barrett if they leave here. Given Preston’s father is missing and Barrett’s was recently murdered, not to mention Meaghan’s father is still a missing person’s case, Kirk can’t afford any more mysterious disappearances or deaths without it raising red flags and drawing unwanted attention.

From what Oliver said, it sounded like my father had more or less stopped looking for us, too busy running around trying to find replacements for the one-percenters we were taking down. That is until fucking Kurt drew his attention back our way. While he might be distracted with The Citadel and other club shit going on right now, he sure as hell wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity to catch us.

So when the tow guy showed up, Preston and Barrett left with anxious expressions and an order not to return until we had confirmation that Kirk’s men had gone.

“Right, well I’m fucking starving,” Ty says once it’s just the three of us. “Why don’t you two find somewhere we can sleep in case we’re stuck here all night, and I’ll go raid the kitchen.”

“Sounds like a plan,” I respond as he takes off across the library and out the door. Seeing Sophie still sitting slumped in her chair, looking defeated, I round the table, holding my hand out for her to take. “Come on,” I encourage. “There’s no point in worrying over it all. Let’s make the best of a bad situation, yeah?”

“Yeah, alright,” she sighs, taking my hand and climbing to her feet.

“We can use one of the small study rooms at the back of the library to sleep in. They don’t have any windows so no one can peer in and see us there. We just need to find blankets or something...any ideas?” I ask when I come up empty. I know fuck all about this school. I’m here to keep an eye on Sophie, that’s it. Not to get a well-rounded education like the rest of kids here. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a complete dumbass. I recognize this is my chance to get a high caliber education. A high school diploma from here could open doors for me that I’ve never even considered before.

I have no idea what the fuck I want to do with my life. It’s never been mine before, to do with as I want. For all intents and purposes, until now, I’ve been the property of The Feral Beasts, their errand guy, their fall guy, their soldier to use as they see fit.
