Mags is hiding something. I mean I can understand that she doesn't want to talk to us over everything, but it could be dangerous for her if she keeps things from us. Especially with our family business.
After closing the door of her bedroom I head downstairs to see my siblings. Elijah left a little earlier apparently, so it's just us now. Blake is nowhere to be seen as I come across all my brothers. Always the one to leave at every chance he gets.
When I arrive in the living room, Damon is pacing back and forth, while the rest is slumped down in the couch watching him, tension growing by the minute.
"Maybe I shouldn't have yelled at her like that." I hear my eldest brother whisper to himself when I sit down on the couch. He looks nervous, as he stares at his now empty whiskey glass, the ice cubes still melting. He has been a wreck since a few days, and honestly I was always able to understand him, but right now he is a serious puzzle. Magnolia really means a lot to him, especially now that she is in his hands and that he is responsible of her safety. He just hasn't been in charge of a girl it was always us guys, so he doesn't really know how to handle it.
"No, don't blame yourself Damon. She is a strong girl and knows why you are doing this." I try to comfort my brother, but I clearly fail, because this human contact and sympathy is really not my thing. "Grey could you do me a favour ?" I address my youngest brother, a thought lingering on my mind.
"Sure what is it." Grey responds with his gaze still fixed on his laptop, his attention half shifted to me.
"Find a so called Gab, or Gabby that could have been in close contact with Mags." I state and suddenly the attention of all my brothers shoot up to me. Mentioning the name of a boy along with the name of my sister is a combo they don't seem to appreciate.
"What the fuck does that mean Leo ?" Greyson spits out with venom as he gives me a cold glance.
"She was on the phone earlier, she mentioned someone called Gab and when she heard me come towards her room, she cut the call immediately. I am sure it's not a girl, because she lied to me and said that she was talking to a girl in her maths class, but I know damn well that there is nobody called Gabby on her class." I speak out, as I think through the different possibilities as to who this person might be. But we need to figure out who it is, because it might put us all in danger.
"Why would she lie to you ?" Ethan questions me with a severe look and I shrug with a clenched jaw. Trust me I want to know too.
"The same reason why we all lie." Damon mumbles and gives a look to Greyson to do as I said.
Greyson starts typing on his computer and for the next five minutes that is all we can hear in the room.
