Was it? I was pretty sure it was more weird that he thought we should have them. And that he called me baby doll. What was wrong with him? “Do you have them for your apartment?” I asked.

“Of course I do. They really come in handy.”

“That’s true,” Sophie said. “We use them all the time.”

Okay then.“Why do you need ours though?”

“For the escape plan of course,” RJ said.

“Right, I got that. But why do you need blueprints to our apartment for the escape plan? That seems elaborate. I’m just going to wait for my mom and dad to go upstairs and then easily sneak out…”

“Don’t be basic,” RJ said. “Your dad has cameras everywhere and a security detail watching your every move. There is noeasily sneaking out.”

“That’s true,” Liam said. “Last time I was grounded Briggs and Porter stood outside the front door. I couldn’t go anywhere.”

Briggs and Porter were our security guards. But they loved me. I’m sure if I asked nicely…

“Or you could just accept the fact that you’re grounded and behave so one week doesn’t turn into a month,” Axel said.

“Don’t you want her to come to the party?” Sophie asked.

God, Soph.

Axel just shrugged in response.

Shrugged.

My heart dropped.

Asshole.

“It wouldn’t be the same without you, Scarlett,” Jacob said.

I smiled up at him. “Thanks, Jacob.”

He turned to RJ and Liam. “Let me know if you guys need any extra help.”

“We’ve got this,” RJ said. “It’s a classic Hunter Hunter mess around.”

Oh no.Last time there was a Hunter Hunter mess around we almost got arrested.
