Ricky's POV

''I didn't do shit! Joby you know I would never steal anything, do you?'' My hands were still holding on to the bag, my voice blending in with the sound of the intercom through the airport's crowded halls.

''I'm not accusing you of anything, not yet at least. Now lower your voice will you,'' He wraps his arm around my shoulder pulling me closer. ''Look I just got off the phone with Carlos and he said they found trails that lead to your account. There is no definite answer but you're on radar and I just came to inform and help you. Have you gone into your bank account lately?''

''I just swipe the card,'' I say earning a glare from him. His lips purse up as his nose flares. ''Here I'll log in right now if you want,'' Jerking away from him, I go on my bank's app, assuring Joby it was going to be the same digits as I last saw it. ''Holy shit, I swear that wasn't there!'' My eyes pop at the large amount of 20,000 that apparently I deposited in groups of five thousand, almost 12 hours ago.

''You have no clue on who it could be?'' his eyes wander to my own as if to test me, but my nose doesn't twitch. I'm telling the truth.

''Nope. Does Mrs. A know about this?'' I asked feeling the tone of accusations already digging into my ears. The lady has yelled at me so many times her voice has embedded in my brain. He shakes his head while opening the trunk to my car. ''How did you get here?''

''Uber, my car broke down.'' He shoves my stuff in before going on the passenger seat. ''They wanted to verify that it was indeed you who is stealing the money. There's no solid verification since your account could've been hacked into.''

I hired Audrey an investigator and I'm the one who might need one. This has never happened. The only related thing was last year when my Instagram was hacked but that didn't last longer than 40 minutes. ''What if they can't find any trace of any sort of hack?''

''Well let's hope you can get out on bail.''

My finger clawed at the pillow on her sofa my eyes still not adjusting to the walnut color of her hair. She looked so different but in a good way. Since I walked into her house I've been meaning to tell her so many things, but I'm really trying to watch my mouth and not say any inappropriate words.

''So you don't know who it could be?'' Her voice comes from behind me, a cup of juice on her hands.

''If I did that person would be in jail and I wouldn't be talking to you,'' She looks downs. I really need to stop being an ass. ''Sorry, I'm just nervous. I come back from seeing my dad, to find out I might be thrown in jail.''

''Wait you saw your dad?'' Her body soon sits next to me, the pillow separating us both. ''Did something happen?''

''Nothing, well not yet at least. I'm pretty he'll be at the party and I won't be able to avoid him.'' Now that I'm away I can really process how beaten down he appeared. His beard which he usually kept tamed was yelling for help, and his posture was like a twisted twig.

''How did he know you would be there?'' Audrey has begun to sip my drink without even thinking about it.

I laughed, ''Maybe Jester's dad ringed him. They used to be pretty good friends.'' That is before he cheated on my mom with his sister. Yeah after that the friendship broke. But I guess assholes always come back to each other.
