Part 10 |The Sinclair Brothers|

As Wade made his way toward the bathroom, I stood just outside the kitchen next to the stairs, waiting for Bo to come down - hopefully soon - so I could talk to him.

A couple minutes later, I could hear Bo coming back down the stairs. He was wearing a navy blue worker jacket and baseball cap now, with a fresh stock supplies, including the fan belt, in hand.

"Hey," he greeted, "not going to the bathroom?"

"No, I actually wanted to talk to you," I paused before adding, "about Vincent."

At the mention of that name, he stiffed and his face became more serious.

"You said both the Sinclair boys weren't in town anymore?" I asked, confirming that part of his tale.

He didn't respond, just busied himself with his bin of supplies.

"Well, I saw him earlier... Vincent I mean."

He suddenly stopped moving. "Well, uh, I don't know, maybe he came back today," he answered, sounding unsure of himself as he slowly turned to look at me. He cleared his throat, "yeah... yeah, Vincent likes to visit from time to time. To see his work, you know." He then walked over to the kitchen, "want some water? Must be thirsty after walkin' around this dry old place," he chuckled, very obviously changing the subject.

"Uh, sure, thanks," I replied, not wanting to press. Plus, he was right, I was extremely thirsty, having not drank anything since last night.

He got out 2 glasses, filling them with water, and handing me one. "Sorry," I said, my eyes trained on the glass as I took a sip.

"For what?" Bo asked, his brows drawing together in confusion.

"For phrasing it like were lying... I didn't mean for it to sound like that, I was just confused is all." I tried to explain, taking another awkwardly long sip.

"It's all good, don't worry about it," he waved me off, placing his barely touched glass by the sink.

"I knew he was in town," he smirked.

My brows knotted, I was more confused now than I was before. "What?" Just as I uttered it my tongue started to feel tingly and my mind grew fuzzy.

I tried to shake the dizziness, blaming it on the heat.

"What do you mean? Why did you lie?" I leaned on the table now, trying to balance myself.

He just laughed lowly, watching me closely.

I looked down at the cup of water when a car horn from outside started blaring. "Carly..." I mumbled, looking over at the door. I attempted to go to it, but it was hard to walk. I felt heavy.

"Woah, carful there," Bo laughed, catching me before I crashed.

The glass started to slip from my hand as my muscles slowly gave in. I was now grappling with the fact I had certainly been drugged.

"Don't wanna make a mess now," he carefully took the glass, dumping it into the sink.

That's when I heard Wade scream from somewhere inside the house. Panic struck me like lightnigh, filling me with some hidden adrenaline, "Wade!?" I screamed.
