Chapter 22 - Oh Shit

-Colby's POV-

It'd been the next morning already and Violet still wasn't home so I went over to Brennen's house to see if maybe he knew, or could help us find her. I'm sure she's fine, but Los Angeles is dangerous sometimes and she didn't tell any of us that she was staying overnight somewhere.

I approached Brennen's apartment, but I heard muffled talking in the background. It could've been the tv though. I knocked on the door and waited patiently.

-Brennen's POV-

Violet and I were just having a causal conversation before she went off to shower. I heard someone knock at the door. I looked the the peep hole of my apartment to see Colby standing nervously.

Of course I opened the door. "Hey have you seen Violet at all? She wasn't home last night at all and didn't tell any of us that she'd be gone overnight." Colby fussed around with his shirt.

I caught on quick, and didn't want to rat her out but it was obvious. "Actually, she stopped by last night to get something that you guys didn't have at the Traphouse and then she said she was going back home." Clearly, I was a bad liar.

"Is your shower going?" Colby was getting a little too curious now.

"No, actually, uh it's my neighbor's. Apparently you can hear the water running in other apartments now." I turned the tv up a couple notches.

"Can I use your bathroom then?"

"Well, the toilet is broken. The handle is busted so the water won't flush. I wouldn't recommend it." I was praying that Colby would believe me. "I'm sure she's fine, she'll be home soon."

"Right, then I'm gonna go back to the home then." Colby awkwardly backed up towards the door. Hell yeah, he was buying it.

Just then the shower turned off and Violet came out in only a towel. Oh shit.
