“He’s got a lot of cameras, but we could put up our dummy screens again,” I said, actually contemplating it.
“You guys are dumb. Do you really think all of us could move into a house and go unnoticed? Where are you locking up your bikes every night?” Evie asked.
“True,” Aiden said. “I’m not risking leaving them all out in the open to be found by Cameron.”
“Or thatwecould all be found by Cameron,” Evie said with a shake of her head. “Dumbasses.”
I shoved a hand through my hair, trying to think of any solution that wouldn’t get us kicked out or killed.
Rook
Miss me already?
Regan
That would be ridiculous.
Rook
You can be pretty ridiculous.
Regan
Look who’s talking.
Rook
I’ll be there, Rebel.
I wasn’t going to add that six of my friends might be, too.
“We’ll see what’s left of this place and then find somewhere for the night,” I said. “Maybe Regan will let us stay until her dad is back. That way, we aren’t sneaking you all in, and at least have time to fucking think.”
Mason drove up, pulling off his helmet as his mouth dropped open. “How the fuck did this happen?”
“Someone is after us,” Hero said. “Decided to burn the building down.”
I nodded to Aiden, urging him away from the rest of them.
“I don’t want to say this in front of Evie,” I said once we were out of earshot.
“You think it was Cameron,” he said, the words a statement, not even a question.
“I’m wondering. Yeah. It seems a little coincidental that this happens right around the time we are catching on to him and I’m fucking around with his daughter.”
“We have no way to know if it was.”
“But I’m going to have to find out.”
“Let’s wait until our entire lives aren’t burning down in front of us before running off.”
My jaw clenched. “I don’t need to stand here looking at this.”
“Maybe not, but I think the rest of us are going to need you to. Evie included.”
He was right. I couldn’t run off quite yet, even if I wanted to hunt Cameron down.
“Fine, but I’m going as soon as I can.”
