Chapter 38

Emily won't let me touch her and Cass won't leave his mother's arms. I can't fucking believe this happened. First that Richard son of a bitch and now this.

"How could they do that?" Calum cuts off my thoughts by speaking up. "How did they even know who they were?"

"It was the Chloe girl from last night." She says lowly and I immediately know who she's talking about.

"Who?" He pries deeper.

"Some young fan that we bumped into on the lift last night." She starts before changing the subject. "I need you to drop me off on the side of the building so I can go through the back entrance."

"No way. I told you, you need to stay with us." I object but she waves me off.

"Staying with you is what got us into this mess. We're supposed to stay under the radar but so far we've done the opposite. The best we can do is play this off as a simple wrong place wrong time dilemma. I'll figure the details out before my break." She takes full control and none of us dare to question her. Daryl pulls the car to the building's side door and let her out. "I'll see you guys in there." Is the last thing she says before disappearing behind the side door marked "Employees Only".

Everything stays in an uncomfortable silence even after Daryl pulls us to the front of the building and lets us out. There are a few screaming fans waiting for us that we greet with the most convincing smiles we can pull off. We snap a couple pictures and kiss a couple cheeks before heading inside where we seem to go unnoticed.

"You three go take a seat somewhere. I'll go talk to the woman at the front desk and see where we go from here." Ashton instructs and we oblige taking a few seats by the giant window. After a minute and a firm handshake with the smiling blonde woman Ashton comes back and takes the empty seat next to me. "Someone's supposed to come show us to the conference room soon." But soon was almost too soon.

It was barely a minute before Emily appeared from a room in the back  a shaggy haired man dressed in a blue pastel dress shit and bow tie. That must be Bailey. The two were having their own conversation when she looks dead at me and returns to her conversation handing him a small brief bag. I don't need to be able to hear them to know she told him to handle us. After nodding in agreement she disappears to the lift and he makes his way to us. His demeanor professional but the smile on his face an unmistakable fan freak out.

"Hi, gentlemen! My name is Bailey Riggins and I'll be taking care of you until Mrs. McRoy and her assistant arrive. Follow me, please." He spins on his heel and leads us to the lift that Emily took up.

Here we go.
