When we pulled back on to the interstate, the air whipping through the car was the only noise. Hey, let's roll the windows up. Even though we didn't want Kai's smell to be in the car, we surely didn't want to make it where our smells weren't either.

Liam pressed the button, sealing off the vehicle again with silence.

"We need to turn on the phones." We needed them to think something odd happened while we were gone and where we lost signal was near where we appeared back on the grid. We always did it at the exact same place, a bar in Kansas City, so if they came to check it out, they’d think we’d been hanging out there.

"Okay," Bree said as the sounds of her taking her phone apart hit my ears. "These smart devices are a pain in the ass when it comes to the battery."

She wasn't kidding there. I grabbed both my and Liam's phones and went to work on them.

When we finally pulled into school and back into Liam's parking spot, I wasn't surprised to see Mr. Hale standing there, waiting on us.

As we stepped from the car, he arched an eyebrow. "You three have been gone a while."

"Yeah, we lost track of time." Liam grinned as he nodded at his father. "What are you doing out here so late?"

"We have an issue that we're trying to deal with." His face turned into a frown.

"Anything we can help you with?" Bree's smile was so sincere it shocked me.

"No, it's nothing for you three to worry about."

Mr. Rafferty stood in the grassy field between the dorm and restaurant. "Jacob, we need you back in the council room."

"On my way." Mr. Hale scanned the three of us once more before nodding at us. "I have business to attend to, but I'll see you soon." He turned and headed toward Mr. Rafferty.

The three of us began our trek to the dorms.

"Do we want everyone to meet up here?" Bree asked as she pointed to the girls’ dorm.

"No, we don't need to have a meeting right now. They're keeping tabs on us, and it might stir questions if we all got together." Liam wet his lips as he took my arm and tugged me toward his room. "We'll meet in the morning."

"Got it." Bree gave me a quick side hug. "See you tomorrow."

Do you think he was suspicious of us? His father hadn't asked any leading questions, which sort of surprised me.

No, he's going to get the spare key to my car and check it out. Liam held open the front door to the men's dorm room.

Well, it's a good thing we followed Bree's advice. There shouldn't be any evidence of Kai in there now.

Yeah, she knows how he thinks too.

So are you upset that he's going to search your car? That was a huge invasion of privacy.

Yeah, but I can't do anything about it. Liam frowned as he stepped into the elevator. The car may be mine, but it was purchased with our family money.
