Bram showed the officers the messages. "I think we have our lead," Officer Brown said. "Did you ever message him off this app? Like on the messenger app? If we can get a phone number, we might be able to trace it."

"We did, but I don't know if it's still active," Bram said.

"It's worth a shot," Officer Brown said. Bram wrote down Jacob's phone number. "Thank you. I'll send this to the team. We also found out that the cars were from the same car rental place. We're going to talk to the owner, and find out who rented those cars. Your theory is seeming to be correct."

"Keep me updated, please," Bram said.

"Of course," Brown said. "You've been a great help with this case."

"I'm glad that I have," Bram said. He stood up and went to this living room. Abby and Leah were in there. Abby's head was resting in Leah's lap. Abby was also taking a little nap.

"Where is Nick?" Bram asked.

"He's out grabbing dinner," Leah whispered. Based on her look, she and Nick still hadn't made up. Bram began to wonder what Nick was talking about. He took a seat beside Leah on the couch.

"What's Nick's problem with you guys anyway?" Bram asked. "I know it's none of my business, but it might help to get a neutral party. Also, the police probably won't need us again until tomorrow morning."

Leah stopped stroking Abby's hair and made eye contact with Bram. "Remember that trip to Athens Abby and I took?" Leah asked. Bram nodded mutely. "Well, she got drunk on the trip, and she kissed me. I had a crush on her beforehand, and she started to like me back. She came out to me as bi a little before prom, and then we became official on prom night. That's when you and Simon found us."

"Did you ever have feelings for Garrett?" Bram asked. It was a kind of loaded question, but he needed to low. Garrett had been crushing on Leah since their freshmen year of high school. She was the only girl who made him shy because of her short temper and confidence. He finally got the courage and asked her to prom, and he was so excited when she agreed to go with him.

"It's complicated," Leah sighed. "I didn't not like him. I thought he was annoying but figured he could make good boyfriend material. I kind of lied about going to one of your soccer games to him. He never found out and probably thinks I left early."

Bram bit his inner right cheek. He didn't know how to respond. He put the rest together. Abby dumped Nick, Abby and Leah went on the trip to Athens to tour the University of Georgia, they kissed while Nick started to spiral, and then prom happened.

They then went quiet for a while.

Simon snuck into the basement that night. There was a girl who he saw working around the manor there. "I'm glad that you decided to meet me," she said. "I'm Maysilee, and I think we can help each other."

"Okay, I'm listening," Simon said.

"Jacob is the leader of one of the biggest gangs in the state," she said. "I'm part of a rival gang. We're close to bringing him down. I just need a getaway vehicle since he makes us live here and not leave so we don't expose his secrets. I need you to distract him and steal his keys. Then we make a run for it."

"Why do you want me to help you?" Simon asked.

"You're the only one who can get close enough to him to get his keys from his pocket," Maysilee said. Simon's face turned horrified. "I'm not asking you to sleep with him. Just a short makeout secession. Doesn't have to get far at all. Do we have a deal?"

Simon thought for a few moments. "Okay," he said.
