(Xavier's POV)

"What do you mean you left her on the fucking road!?" Jacob growls banging his fist on his study desk. He's gaze  zeroes at me and breaths heavily. He looks between Chris and I.

"How could you let this happen, both of you" he hisses.

Chris and I knew better than to open our mouths or utter a single word. When Jacob is pissed about something, no one and I mean no one, not even his best friend and right hand dares to talk him down or try to reason with him because whenever he is mad, wherever he goes trails of dead bodies follow him.

"We just got her back man" he whispered sitting back down on his chair.

He sounds...defeated? Jacob, defeated? This can't be. Chris and I share a look.

Weak spot...lesson 1..never ever ever show anyone your weak spot. They could use it against you. Jacob must have sensed this, he cleared his throat and clench his jaws.

"If anything happens to her, I'll kill you" he growls.

No one was mentioned but we knew who he was referring to. I gulp and fidget on where I was standing.

I doubt something will happen to her. She's Joanne freaking Anderson. Nothing will happen to her. We should be more worried about the people in the town, and even if someone kidnaps her...well I feel sorry for them. I let out a sigh of relief trying to convince myself.

Chris clears his throat and steps forward.
"We'll go look for her, it's almost dark outside, if Collin said that she walked to town I bet she didn't go too far, she must've wondered through the Flakes Road" he says scratching his neck. A thing he does when he is nervous.

"No" Jacob said.

"No?" I ask and regret it when Jacob's heated gaze glares at me.

"You shut the fuck up, don't talk" he growls and I put my hands up in surrender.

"I'll go look for her myself" he said putting his jacket on.

Don't talk Xavier don't talk don't talk don't talk....My feet starts tapping the floor.

Chris and I share a meaning look, his gaze shifts to my foot and he raises an eyebrow. He shook his head, signalling me to keep quite.

"Jacob we traced her phone and she is in the Southside" one of the Andrew twins, Joseph spoke up from their tech corner. Joshua types vigorously on the keyboard pushing his nerdy glasses further up his nose.

Jacob grabs his car keys from his drawer and makes his way to the door not even glancing my way.

"Look okay I fucking messed up, this is all my fault but it doesn't mean you should give me the silent treatment..." I hiss not wanting to meet his gaze because I worry, if I do I won't be able to speak my next words.
He halts on his step his hands frozen on the door knob. Good thing his back was faced towards me.

"I'm...I'm sorry man, what I did was wrong but Joanne, Joanne is a freaking Anderson. She is Joanne freaking Anderson, Chris and I will go with you in case something goes down and the Andrew twins here can be the eyes.....why are you even worrying, she is your sister for crying out loud, we should be more worried about the people around her" I said in one breath, still tapping my foot.
