Second Chances

Nowwhere Fast

Unknown:
I laugh as I hang up the phone. Definitely the best phone call.
Thanks for the tip bitch but think I'll be keeping the profits. My phone beeps and I look at the picture and I smile. Now to keep anyone from finding Miss Blondie in the meantime,because if I can get her sister too... Well, all the better.
"Well blondie you're stuck with me for a while longer, but don't worry, your sister will be joining you just shortly." I stick the needle in her arm and inject the drug to keep her asleep Night, night. Now. How do I get the sister, and then the inherence? So I can sell them to the highest bidder. I laugh and pull out my phone looking at the picture again.
Yeah, as hot as these two are, I can disappear and live a life of luxury for the rest of my life. Time for a plan.

I take a deep breath and stretch as I wake up.
Sitting up the smell hits my nose, bacon and coffee delicious. Wait, bacon and coffee? I open my eyes as it hits me, Aiden, Logan and Kyle. They're here in the apartment. They stayed the night. They practically moved in with all the stuff they brought in and the vehicles parked outside. Crap. I quickly scramble out of bed, I quickly make the bed, grab clothes and make a mad dash to the shower.
I finish a quick shower and get dressed before I make my appearance in the kitchen.
I walk in and all three smile at me. Aiden hands me a cup of coffee, Logan drags me over to the stool, while Kyle hands me a plate. They work well together, like a well-oiled machine, and it makes me want to giggle but I hold off.
"Thank you." I say instead.
"You're welcome." They say together. Again I want to giggle, but again hold it back.
"What's on the agenda for today?" I question, getting myself under control.
"Kyle and I are going to check out some of these addresses, though we're going to go to all, we will be start with the abandoned ones." Aiden says.
"Sorry cupcake, you're stuck with me. No worries though, we don't have to go to the office." Logan says.
"Right. Well this should only take a couple of hours at most. Let's go Kyle." Aiden says.
"Yes sir." Kyle says sarcastically. With that, they leave the kitchen together with a wave and a few moments later I heard the door click shut.
"We're alone." Logan says, wiggling his eyebrows me and I let go of the giggle I had been holding on to. I finish eating. Standing up I go to grab my plate but Logan slaps my hand away shocking me.
"Nope. Go do... something else. I'll clean up, we made the mess." He says. "But..." I start, but he cuts me off.
"Go." He says pointing.
Well okay then, just come in and take over. I sit on the couch not exactly sure what we're doing. It doesn't seem to take Logan long before he joins me with a laptop in his hand.
"I'm just going to check a few things." Logan says, sitting close to my on the couch."Shouldn't we be doing something to find my sister?" I question.
"That's what I'm doing cupcake. You just need to sit there and look pretty." He says with a wink.
"What can I do?" I ask.
"Gracie, please just sit there or do whatever you like, just please stay in the apartment." Logan says like you would to a child. I huff, but don't say anything. Instead I go to grab my kindle, might as well keep myself occupied.
"Grace, I'm sorry. I know you want to help but please let us do our job and I promise to get your sister back." Logan softly says, as I sit on the couch. I nod, he's probably right. I did call them for a reason.

I look up from my kindle when a phone pings. I see Logan pull his out and I go back to reading.
"Let's go get some lunch cupcake." Logan says, bringing my eyes up to his.
"Okay." I reply.
I make sure the apartment is locked before Logan and I head down the hallway.
"Come on." Logan says, leading me to a huge black truck. I try to get up and he smirks. Coming over, he puts his hands on my hips and helps me up. When he lets go, I instantly feel the loss of his hands.
No, don't get used to it, I think. They will bring your sister home and then be gone.

Logan:
I waited until I heard the click of the bedroom door before I looked around at my two best friends.
"I think I messed up earlier today." I whisper.
"What do you mean you THINK you messed up earlier today?" Aiden hisses as me.
"Well I actually made a promise to Grace, a promise to bring her sister home." I whisper, still not sure if Grace is actually in bed.
"What the fuck?!" Kyle whisper yells.
"Shh." Aiden says, looking down as we hear the bedroom door open again.
"I'm sorry, I meant to ask earlier, do you guys need any more blankets or pillows?" Grace asks softly.
"No cupcake, we're fine." I reply. She smiles.
"Okay. I should have asked last night and didn't." She says.
"Sweetie we're fine, go back to bed and get some rest." Aiden says.
"Okay, goodnight." She replies in a sleepy voice.
"Goodnight." We reply. We wait a few minutes before looking back up at each other. "Anything else?" Aiden asks, looking at me.
"I did manage to get Brittany's bank records and phone records. Nothing out of the ordinary except one number that I can't seem to get a trace on." I say.
"That's the number we probably need the most then, keep working at it." Aiden says.

Kyle:
I can't be too angry with Logan. I very well could have been the one to promise her the same thing. Any one of us would have.
"Well we turned up exactly zilch today, getting the same answers as Grace got." Aiden says. "We do have a list of places with cameras, if you can get into their security system and back track." I say.
"Shouldn't be a problem. I can go back as far back as they keep, most places will be a month or two." Logan says.
"That will work." I say.
"What about the abandoned buildings?" Logan asks.
"Nothing of use right now but something is definitely going on at both places." Aiden says. "Anything else?" I ask.
"No, but we need to get on this. The longer Brittany's gone, the less of a chance we will find her." Logan says.

Aiden:
"Actually there is another matter we need to discuss." I speak up.
"Well?" Logan asks, raising a brow when I don't answer right away. I clear my throat.
"Right. I don't know how y'all feel but I don't plan on letting Grace go this time."
Kyle starts to interrupt but I hold up my hand.
"I know it's been five years and we just found her again, but I know how I feel and I'm not letting her go this time." I finish.
"We have a lot of work ahead of us. We need to get to know her again and get her comfortable with us again first, but I agree, I don't want to lose her again." Kyle says.
"Same rules as before. No jealousy, no fighting and no matter what we stick together.
This time the four us, but I'm in agreement I can't lose her this time." Logan finishes.
"Then it's settled. This time we get and keep Grace." I say.
"Okay, but we may want to talk to her about it." Logan says.
"We will when it's time, though in the meantime, I say we start easing her in." Kyle says. "Start with small gestures as we did today. Small touches as we all get more comfortable and add to it, until it is the same as before." I add.
"The only problem is, I don't want her to get a chance to run." Logan says.
"We won't. We will wait until Brittany is at home safe, then I don't care. We can bring it up as the two sisters hug it out." Kyle says.
We all let out a chuckle at that.
