(Chris' pov)
"Chris? You need to see this." Vinny said urgently, looking at me with a panic in his eyes. I gently moved a sleeping Ricky off of my lap and followed Vinny. I hope this means what I think it does.
If he's managed to figure out who exactly stabbed Ricky, then I don't have to keep looking around and suspecting everybody. If he knew who it was, I could keep him safe effortlessly, and Ricky wouldn't even know!
He lead me into the computer room and sat down, with an anxious look on his face. "What's going on?"
"I managed to bypass all the firewalls and shit. And I found out who stabbed Ricky."
"Who!?" I fucking knew it.
Vinny swallowed and turned the computer around so I could see the screen. DNA analysis confirmed- 99.8% match with Devin Sola.
"You're joking. Dev wouldn't do something like this!"
"Dev's hiding a lot from you guys. Trust me on that, he's hiding a shit tonne from you guys."
"But would be do something like this, Vin?" Vinny sighed and shrugged at my words, looking down like he was ashamed of himself. "I hope not...but he hasn't been himself lately..." Vin said, trailing off.
I didn't want to believe that my best friend, someone who I trusted more than most people, would stab my boyfriend. Something about Devin was pure, and nobody would expect that he'd do something like this.
It didn't feel right. He wouldn't do something like this, not to Ricky.
"Rerun the tests. Ghost wouldn't, he wouldn't! Not to Ricky."
"I have...almost 20 times. And each time I get this." Vin said almost apologetically, like he blamed himself. "But. As you pointed out, he wouldn't do something like this to Ricky. So we're left with a conundrum." He added quickly.
"What type of conundrum?"
"Devin wouldn't do something like this. But his DNA is clearly on the knife. So either he's being stitched up by someone, or he's being controlled."
"Is that even possible?" I murmured, letting my thoughts take over.
I didn't want to believe that Devin would do something like this, obviously. Ricky walked in and Vin quickly shut the computer down and changed the subject. "So when is the tour starting again?"
"I don't have a damned clue." I murmured, answering my own question.
Ricky wrapped his arms around me sleepily and almost fell into the wall. I rolled my eyes as I pulled him into my lap and sighed. Just thinking about the person who hurt Ricky being Devin, hurt.
"What's wrong?" Ricky said softly, stifling a yawn against my shoulder. "What makes you think something's wrong?"
"Your expression. It looks like you're worried about something..."
Ah ha. Because I am. But if I told him, he'd probably take the news worse than I did. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried hitting me and Vinny, before telling us that we were lying. And believe me, I'd love to be lying right now just so I wouldn't lose my friend.
"I'm just worrying about the tour, and I'm wondering when Lucien's gonna give us another mission. We haven't had one in a while."
"Yeah, but I'm enjoying the break. Are you telling me that you aren't enjoying a break from it all?"
"No..." I mumbled before pressing my lips to the top of Ricky's head. "Guys I'm just gonna go chill with Ryan for a bit..." Vinny said with a slight blush before darting out the room. I wonder why Vin's been hanging around with Ryan so much, has something gone on that I've missed?
Probably, to be honest. A lot goes on that I don't know about. "Tell me. Right goddamn now, what's going on? And don't you even think about saying nothing is wrong, because I know something is." Ricky said, moving off of my lap and sitting across the table from me.
"Ricky, trust me when I say that nothing is wrong. I'm stressed, you try being the lead singer of a band. It's not easy, you know?"
"I know. It's not easy being a guitarist, as well as being a backing singer. So don't pull that crap and tell me what's going on."
"I don't know how to tell you this.."
"A-Are you breaking up with me? What did I do? Can I fix this?" He said frantically, his eyes wide and full of fear. "NO! I'm not breaking up with you Ricky. I love you, I love you so fucking much."
"Then what's going on!?"
"I've already told you! Now calm down!" I snapped, glaring at him. Okay, maybe I needed to calm down. But he was acting stupid. "I love you Chris."
"I love you too." Ricky stood up and I wondered where he was going.
He smiled softly before kissing me and sitting back on my lap, cuddling up to my chest before he sighed in content.
