The Harper Family: Love Connection (Wattpad Version)

You're crazy

Kyler

After getting our asses handed to us in poker, we played a rousing game of Old Maid. Of course, I got stuck with the old bat. Jordin does that shit on purpose. I tossed my cards down and grabbed another pop for Rachel and me.

We played a few more hands before I took Rachel home and dropped her off. Then I returned home to find Odin and Sofie cleaning up.

"Where's Jordin and Mercedes?" I asked.

"Jordin took Mercedes home, leaving us to clean us, that tool," Odin huffed.

I chuckled. Sounds about right.

"Did Rachel get home okay?"

"Yes, I even walked her to the door like a gentleman."

"So, what's happening with the center?"

"Police are investigating Rachel's attack. Pops and Uncle Jayden are waiting for them to clear the crime scene before reopening it."

"That seems a bit odd, don't you think?"

"No odder than the Harper Construction getting shut down."

Odin gave me a knowing look.

"Is there a connection between your dad's business and the center?" Sofie asked Odin.

"It's possible." Odin shrugged.

"But that doesn't make any sense." Sofie shrugged her head.

"What doesn't?"

"The Feds arrested my dad for drug trafficking. I can see why they investigated your dad's business, but why the center? It makes no sense."

"It does when the police find drugs at the center," I said.

Odin and Sofie stared at me in confusion.

"What do you mean the police found drugs at the center?" Odin asked.

"The policed searched the center and found drugs in Colby's locker and hidden underneath the floorboard," I said.

"That could explain why Colby was acting weird," Sofie said.

"What do you mean?" Odin asked.

"Mercedes said Colby acted jittery and like he owned the place. Then he called Mercedes a bitch."

"And Colby's still breathing?" Odin arched a brow.

"I don't think Mercedes told Jordin, or we wouldn't find Colby," I said.

"Jordin seems like a nice guy when you get past his moodiness," Sofie said.

"You don't know, Jordin. He comes off sweet but has a nasty temper," Odin said.

I nodded in agreement. Jordin and I have had our go-arounds. One ended up with a black eye, while the other received a busted nose.

"Then, if I were Colby, I would run far away, like to another country," Sofie said.

Odin chuckled.

The garage door opened as Roman entered and strolled to the kitchen.

"Where's your better half?"

"Beats me." Roman shrugged and grabbed a pop.

"I thought you two were joined at the hip?" I asked.

"Not lately. Ruden's been acting weird." Roman cracked the can open and take a sip.

"Ryden's always acting weird," Odin said.

"No, he's been acting weirder than usual, even for Ryden's standards."
