Except Axel. “Go birds,” he said. He lifted his hand for a high five and my mom high fived him.
Traitors.But my mom had grown up in Delaware. And Uncle Tyler had too. Hopefully the Giants would kill them today.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. I pulled it out to look at Soph’s text.
“Slight hiccup,” she’d texted.
“What?”
“Parker lost the key to Axel’s room.”
“What do you mean she lost it?”
“I don’t know, Scarlett! The key is gone! And I don’t know how to lock pick! What are we going to do?”
I glanced at Axel.
“What’s up?” he asked. “Can the boyfriend not make it to the game either? Olivia must be keeping him busy.”
Crap...was Jacob actually with Olivia right now?
My head was so scrambled. But I could only tackle one problem at a time. “Excuse me,” I said and grabbed Liam’s arm. I pulled him away from the kitchen.
“I’m still eating,” Liam said with a mouthful of food.
My brother was clearly up to some shady shit. Russian girlfriends. Sneaking out at all hours. Lying to my parents like it was easy.He better know how to pick a lock too or I’m disowning him.

“Please tell me you know how to pick a lock,” I said.
Liam slowly finished chewing his food. “Why?”
“Would you just answer the question?”
“But why do you need to pick a lock?” Liam asked.
Why wouldn’t he answer my freaking question?! I looked over my shoulder to make sure Axel was still in the kitchen, and then lowered my voice. “Because while I was babysitting Parker last night, Sophie and I used the opportunity to search Axel’s room for clues to see if he was the kiss thief.”
“Okay... So is he?”
“I don’t know!”
“Well, how did you get into his room in the first place?”
I wanted to shake him. “Parker had a key. But now she’s lost it.”
Liam laughed. “Are you sure she lost it? Maybe she just doesn’t want to give it to you. Wait. I’m still confused. Why do you need to get back into Axel’s room?”
I sighed. “Because Sophie pulled up the men’s locker room footage on Axel’s computer because she got an alert on herphone that someone was in there. And then Axel’s parents came home early. She slammed his laptop closed and forgot to ex out of the footage. That’s why Axel’s here this morning. I’m distracting him while Soph fixes the problem.”
Liam laughed. “She seriously didn’t ex out of the footage? Amateur move.”
I ignored his comment. “Can you help me or not?”
“It would probably be way more entertaining for Axel to see the footage. It’ll make today so much more fun.”
