How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 16

*Matt*

Jeff hadn't come back to the hotel like he said he would and that deeply concerned me. Morgan was also getting worried because maybe we thought he had gotten kidnapped by Ethan or something. That thought occurred to me, but then I thought that with Bully Ray in charge he wouldn't want to risk getting fired or stripped of the title. Although he has done strange things in the past...

My thoughts wandered off until I got a call from Ethan. He sounded deeply concerned about something. "Hey Matt! I heard something you might be interested in."

Those words didn't make any sense to me until Ethan said this: "I heard your brother's been nabbed and I might know who did it." I knew it!

"Where is he Ethan?!" I shouted. Ethan chuckled and tried to calm me down.

"Whoa Matt I don't know where he's at...cause I don't have him...Tyrus does!" he said cheerfully. My eyes widened at that.

"You tell him to give my brother back to us...this isn't right!"

"Oh I will," Ethan said sounding bored, like he wasn't even paying attention to a word I said.

"Ethan! Pay attention! I want Jeff returned right now!" I demanded slamming my hand on the table in the hotel room. Morgan, who was sitting cross legged on the bed, stared at me with tears in her eyes.

"Matt...that's no way to ask someone for something!" Ethan said mock scolding me. I sighed and calmed down.

"I'm sorry...can I please have him back?" I asked and suddenly there was shuffling on the other line.

"Okay," Ethan said sounding happy. "Here's the deal. I spoke with Tyrus here and he agreed to give him back to you before the show on Wednesday."

"No, Ethan!" I shouted again. "I don't want him back in 2 days. I want him back today, as in right now!"

*click* The phone call dropped and I threw the phone putting my head in my hands. What were we going to do about this since clearly he wasn't going to give him back until Wednesday. Who knows what they could be doing to him...
