The Harper Family (Wattpad Version)

Race against time

Elias

I checked on the electrician as my phone dinged with a message. After reading Val's message, I called him.

Hello?

"What do you mean the cops are with your brothers?"

Rafe and Romeo recognized Trevor in the mobile store. Rafe lost his shit and attacked him. The cops are waiting to view the security footage.

"Christ. Tell Pat and Marty to stay put. I'm contacting the local police and heading to campus." I ended the call and called the police, then called Dad.

Hello?

"Where are you?"

Get ready to head home to your mom. Why?

"I need to head to campus."

What? Why?

"Romeo and Rafe spotted Trevor at the cellphone store. Rafe attacked Trevor, and the police are questioning Rafe."

Swing by the auto shop, and I'll go with you.

"I need to call Tori."

I'll call your mom and Tori. Get your ass here, Elias.

I tossed my bag into the car, jumped in, and peeled away from the construction site. The car's Bluetooth rang. I pressed the incoming call. "Hello?"

What the hell, Elias? You just take off!

"I'm swinging by to pick up my dad, then heading to campus."

What? Why?

"Trevor got to the boys."

I'm calling Wendy and my brother. We'll meet you there.

I ended the call and hauled ass to the auto shop. When I pulled up, Dad climbed in as my brother, nephew, and cousins watched. I pulled away and headed toward the college campus.

Dad called Mom and Tori. Then I received an incoming call from Owen. I pressed the button.

Elias, Oliver, and I tried calling Casper and Liam. They're not answering their phones.

"Where are you?"

I'm almost home to pick up Wendy. Oliver and Conner are on their way.

"I need you to contact Devin and Mary and tell them to meet us at the rental house."

On it. Owen hung up.

I tried to call Patrick and Marty. Their phones rang, then went to voicemail. I hung up and gripped the steering wheel.

"Your mom is picking up Tori and heading to the campus."

I nodded and called Val. He answered immediately.

"Val, we're on our way."

The police let Rafe go. We're on our way back to the house.

"I can't reach your brothers, and Owen and Oliver can't contact Liam and Casper."

Shit.

"Val?"

Click!

I floored the accelerator as the escape flew down the expressway. It was a race against time.

Jordin helped me line up a sink as footsteps thumped against the floorboards. We noticed Devin and Brian leaving.
