Twelve

Maya POV

I sat in the conference room staring at the board with all of the information pinned on it.

So it had to be someone with access to the house because they had access to the prisoners food and my fathers office. I think it's time for drastic measures, we need to friendly interrogate the staff.

I walked down the stairs in the direction of the lounge, I was a few feet away from the room and I could already hear the guys' laughter.

"Guys?" I called out as I stood in the big doorway. They all looked back at me quickly before turning their attention back to the screen where they were playing mortal combat.

"Sup" Carlos greeted for all of them.

"Meeting in 5, where's Ethan?" I asked slightly annoyed at the fact that they were playing a game when I was desperately trying to find the culprit.

"Uhhh, I think I saw him outside by the shed" Jose mumbled. Tyler fatalitied his character making Jose scream curse words. I chuckled before walking away.

I got outside walking in the direction of the tool shed, as I got closer I heard thuds and grunts. I turned the corner finding a shirtless sweaty Ethan chopping fire wood. I leaned on the side of the shed biting my lip as I watched his muscles flex every time he brung the axe down into the chunk of wood.

I'm not going to lie, Ethan is sexy. He works out a lot so he's ripped and his tattoos are a panty dropper.

"Enjoying the view?" His deep voice made me jump.

"Yes as a matter a fact I am" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"Well shows over, what do you want?" His tone was rude but it always is so it was nothing new.

"I think we need to interrogate the guys and the staff" he gave me a confused look making me elaborate. "Not torture interrogate, like sitting at a table with a bright light, good cop bad cop interrogate"

"Fine, I need to shower first" he wiped the sweat off of his forehead.

Can I join? I thought.

"Nice try" he playfully scoffed.

"Fuck, did I say that out loud" I covered my mouth.

"Yeah you did" he chuckled before heading inside.

What the fuck?

I'm either hearing stuff or Ethan Dolan just chuckled.

"Carlos, where were you from 10pm to 4am the night the prisoner escaped?" I asked calmly as we sat in the interrogation room, only this time we weren't stabbing anyone we were talking; calmly sitting at a table.

"I was asleep, I had eaten two boxes of meat lovers pizza then crashed in the movie room" he was nervous I could tell.

"Can anybody confirm this?" Ethan cleared his throat.

"Ask Gloria, she delivered the pizza and woke me up the next morning" he shrugged.

"Get out of here" I rolled my eyes. I believed this was something Carlos would do. Next was Tyler.

"Tyler, where were you from 10pm to 4am the night the prisoner escaped?" Ethan asked.

"At home with Emily, it was our 5 month anniversary" Tyler smirked at the memory.

"Ew, okay go" I waved him away.

"Eth I don't think it's one of our guys" I sighed rubbing my face.

"Yeah, lets just finish up with Jeff and get on with the staff, my moneys on one of the maids" he sighed.

Jeff came in and sat down, he had a nervous look on his face. That's a little sus but why wouldn't he be nervous; Around here interrogation means torture.

"Jeff, where were you from 10pm to 4am the night the prisoner escaped?"ethan sighed.

"Uh, I was asleep, in my room" he let out a shaky breath.

"Can anyone confirm this?" Ethan squinted at him.

"N-no I wasn't with anyone" Jeff shrugged.

"So how do we know it wasn't you?" Ethan leaned his elbows against the table holding his biceps.

"C'mon guys it's me" he sighed. "How could I ever do something like this it's my home, I would never betray Arthur that man is like a father to me. I love you guys I would never-"

"It's fine Jeff you can go" Ethan rudely dismissed him. He mumbled a thank you before leaving.

"We come back to him" Ethan sighed.

"Wait, you don't think-" I looked up at him.

"Yeah, I do. Jeff is one of my best friends but he's acting a little too suspicious" he shrugged.

Jeff POV

I was sweating bullets, they were onto me I know it. I quickly ran up to my room, locking the door.

I pulled out my phone calling my brother.

"C'mon, c'mon" I mumbled as the phone rang.

"Hello" he finally picked up after five rings.

"They're onto me what am I suppose to do!?" I freaked through the phone, making sure to keep my voice down so I wouldn't be overheard.

"Chill, little brother" he laughed.

"This isn't funny, Rico!" I sighed "you know what they'll do to me if I get caught?"

"Don't worry, I've got it all figured out" he spoke.

"How?" How could he possibly get me out of this predicament.

"One of the staff is going to take the fall, mark I think his name is" he was eating, I could tell because his talking was a bit muffled.

"But marks only 18!" I scoffed.

"Look it's either you or him" his tone got harsher. "It's already a done deal we kidnapped his mother just to make sure he'll go through with it, now let me get back to my lunch"

I was about to speak but he hung up making me throw my phone.

I was screwed.
