an eye on us.” Kole smiled.
I wasn’t smiling. “What’s going on?” My voice almost stuttering to see them there with the big question of why consuming my mind. They had to be planning something.
“We’re glad you could join us.” Aleksander said. “Adele’s plan is indeed a good one but that won’t be necessary now. We never really planned to distract ourselves from our mission.”
“You planned this?”
“Oh, seriously, Jay!” Trever laughed. “Did you really think you knew what was really happening?”
“And everything else?” I was very vague so I wouldn’t mention what he showed us. He said Aleksander didn’t like him doing it.
“Oh, that has nothing to do with this.”
“And what about the whole let’s go waste our money on a bunch of meaningless whores? Just an excuse to get away?”
“We needed to so we could talk about some things.” Aleksander said. “And then we needed you to come here.”
I laughed, showing my frustration. “That’s great! Adele’s going to be—you are so—she’s just going to—”
“We’re quite aware of that, Jaylyn but they are following you. It shouldn’t be long.”
“Why? Why did we have to come here?”
“Tonight is still going to be fun for us.” Kole replied with a joking smile that only annoyed me more. “There’s some—things that need to be heard before we’re able to continue this mission. None of you realize how dangerous it really is.”
“Oh, please. We’ve got in before, we can do it again.”
Ryon and Kole both laughed too hard that they couldn’t speak.
“This is different, Jay.” Trever said. “Just the word of this task will bring about unseen things. We need you all to be prepared. That’s why we brought you here. It wasn’t safe to speak of it as out in the open as we once were.”
“And now? You’re talking about it now.”
“We’re not exactly speaking of it but we will in a more secure setting. When the others arrive meet us in the house farthest out from town on the northern road, the west side. We’ll be waiting for you there.”
One-by-one, they started turning on their horses and road up the street through town.
I stayed right where I was and let out a long sigh. I knew Adele was not going to like this, never mind what everyone else would think. Having us go on this goose chase after them instead of just suggesting to rest in town was pointless and there wouldn’t be anyone else who thought of it any different.
Yet, I waited. While Rajet rested from his ride, I turned him so I was facing the west and stayed there in the street to greet them just as I have previously been greeted.
Chapter 10
Adele
“Jaylyn?” I saw her standing in the street as we approached town but she didn’t look excited about what we were about to do. Something had to be wrong. “Everything all right?”
“No.”
“You didn’t actually see them with a whore, did you?” Ruby asked, feeling bad for her already.
“No but things changed. We’re not going to be able to ruin their night like we planned.”
“Why not?” Zayden asked.
“Because they’re going to ruin ours.”
“Jaylyn, what’s going on? Where are they?” I demanded.
“We’re to meet them in a house outside of town. They wanted us to come here, to follow them and they waited. They were standing just like this when I showed up.”
“Why?” Troy asked. “They couldn’t just say that?”
“Apparently not but they said there are some things we need to hear.”
“About the thing Kole mentioned?” Ruby asked.
“I don’t know. They wouldn’t say but I can about tell you that I’m sick of their little game.”
“They are so going to pay for this.” I raged, trying to keep my voice quiet so I wouldn’t draw attention to us. “How do they expect us to be together if they don’t just tell us everything?!”
“Because, it’s how they’re staying in control.”
“Well, no more.” I
