"Thank you for your time." was all Aspen heard that day from the three teachers that were in front of her. She expected a better reaction, she expected "we look forward to having you this semester." but all she simply got was a thank you.

Cain's pov

"So let me get this straight you think Delaney paid your teachers off so you wouldn't get into your dream school?" I asked Aspen, I knew Aspen had crazy theories but I honestly think she hit her head on the way over.

"I mean you couldn't find her yesterday where else could she have been," Aspen asked eating some of my beef jerkies. "well first off," I said taking my jerky from her "go home and eat your snacks, and second off I'm finding her today with the boys," I told her.

"Can I come?" she asked me as I shook my head no. "Yeah if we get shot at you're going to go crazy on me," I told her, eating some of my beef jerky. "I promise I won't I'm not some new bitch, I was born here remember," she told me. I always forgot she was born here and that we went to the same elementary.

"Fine Aspen but if you embarrass me I'm leaving you on the train tracks," I told her and walked to my room, getting everything ready for just in case shit went down.

Saint's pov

"Cain I'm glad you trust her but I just met her a couple of days ago and I don't have time to babysit," I told Cain when he tried to bring Aspen with us. Not that I disliked the girl I just have a hard time trusting new people.

"You don't have to babysit she hates Delaney and I'm pretty sure we need an extra looker." Cain told me, he had a point, half the time we be paying attention to other things.

"Yo Aspen get in the car," Cain told her as he got into the passenger seat. "Alright like any normal person who owns a car I have rules, the first rule is do not breathe, kick or touch my windows. The second rule is doesn't even eat in my car, cause if I see one fucking roach I'm kicking you out of the car do you understand these rules?" I turned around asking Aspen as she nodded her head. "Great now we go get Jalen."

Jalen's pov

I ran outside cause I heard screaming after the past two days someone could've gotten shot in my driveway. "What the fuck happened?" I asked my mom as she pointed to the slashed tires. "Yall had me thinking someone damn near died man," I said annoyed. "This wasn't just done for shits and giggles Jalen." My dad told me.

My dad wasn't the exact man you'd wanna fuck with, he has seven guns in his room just in case a dumbass wanna be dumb at four am. "Sorry damn," I said as I looked over and saw Saint pull up.

"Hey, Mr. Marcus," Saint said to my dad as I tried to signal Saint to look at the car. "Hey Saint." my dad said. He wasn't in the mood to deal with anyone today. "Someone slashed our tires last night," I told Saint. "What angle," The girl in the backseat asked, I'm pretty sure her name was Aspen.

"What angle was the tire slashed?" she asked as I looked at her confused. She sighed and got off the car. "Girl you will get shot just doing that around here," Saint said in the background. "She has lived here her whole life." Cain corrected him.

Aspen's pov

"It all depends on the angle, everyone slashes a tire differently if they wanna make a statement but if it's for shits and giggles they'll just poke a hole," I told everyone. They didn't expect a white girl like me to know so much about this hell I thought they knew this.

"I'll go call the cops." A man who looked like Jalen's dad said. "Let's go we gotta head out," Cain said. I got into the car and buckled up. "Who slashed their tires?" Saint asked me. "See I want to say Delaney's cousin cause of the past few days but it could've been anyone," I said looking out the window.

After a while, I had gotten this bright plan to sneak into Delaney's room and see if the necklace was in there but it was honestly stupid.

"What if y'all distract Delaney's mom and I search her room," I said out of the blue. "You can't just sneak into a crazy bitches room Aspen, you can end up stabbed," Cain told me and he was right Delaney had several knives I think one time she told me she stabbed herself for fun.

"If she's fast she can get in and out," Saint said. "I'm fast I just need y'all to tell me when she comes," I told them. This bitch owed me twenty dollars of course I was down to jump into her bedroom. "Alright, so that's the plan," Jalen asked everyone. "Yes." everyone said.

Thirty minutes passed as Saint pulled up two houses back so nobody saw them. "Okay so if we see her coming we will spam text you," Cain told me as I nodded. "Nobody is home her mother won't be back until three so I got plenty of time," I told them and got off.

I ran up to the back of her house, there was a black box that was connected to the house and Delaney's room. I took a peak to know if anyone was there. I opened the window and looked around quickly.

I found the necklace but also heard a door open. My phone started buzzing as I took that as a sign, grabbed the necklace, and jumped out the window landing on my back. "Shit.." I whispered to myself and got up.

I ran to the car and got in quickly. "Just drive." I said before they asked.

Cain's pov

"Did you find anything?" I asked Aspen in hopes of her finding my necklace. "Is it this one," she asked and handed me the necklace. "Yes, it is," I responded as I heard Aspen sigh of relief.

"A car is following us," Saint said, looking through his rearview mirror. "Lose them and if you can't well then they better have car insurance." I told him as he nodded.

"They turned into the driveway," Saint told me as I nodded, I didn't believe that they just lived there that could've been their cover excuse. "Head to my house cause most likely that wasn't their house," I told Saint as I continued to look out my rearview mirror.

If it was Delaney's cousins they had the wrong guy that's for sure.
