"Wait. What?" Elizabeth was shocked
"My name is Addison Caffery" she repeated
"Caffery... as in..." Elizabeth trailed off
"Neal Caffery, yeah" Addison said "You can't tell him"
"Are you a cousin? a sibling?"
"I can't tell you. The more you know the more you'll want to tell him" Addison said
"If you're related you should tell him, family is important" Elizabeth said
"He's gone 16 years without me, he'll be fine" Addison said "just please don't say anything"
"I won't for now" Elizabeth said. The pair stood up and went inside. Dinner was slightly less awkward but still horribly awkward. The talk was mostly Elizabeth attempting to keep the conversation going. Peter barely spoke, Neal talked about art with Elizabeth and Addison sat there afraid El was going to say something.
"Um well thanks for dinner Elizabeth but I should get going" Addison said
"Would you like a lift?" Peter asked
"No. I'll be fine" Addison said getting up and leaving as quick as she could.
"That was the most awkward dinner ever" Neal said
"Shouldn't you be leaving too?" Peter rolled his eyes.
Addison got back to the apartment as quick as possible, making sure no one was following her. By the time she got home it was past midnight. As she was walking towards the building, Bradley, Josh, Jacob and Bailey were walking out.
"Where have you been?" Josh asked
"Who cares she's here, we can go now" Bradley said
"Hang on" Addison said "Why are we leaving? Where's Hayden?"
"Hayden is asleep inside" Jacob said
"We can't stay here anymore" Josh said "We all agreed we'd leave. Well us 3 agreed and Jacob is bringing Bailey"
"Where are we going?" Addison asked
"We don't know yet" Baliey said
"So we're giving up a safe apartment for the streets" Addison raised her eyebrow
"It's not safe" Bradley said "If you're getting home after midnight from being questioned by the FBI, It's not safe"
"At least it's a house!"
"Frey- Actually no fuck it. We're over the aliases, Addison, Hayden is not a good guy we need to leave. We're leaving and your coming with us" Bradley said
"If Baliey can leave his friends you can leave" Jacob said
"Don't bring me into this" Bailey groaned "Let's just go find somewhere to stay for tonight. Central Park North Subway Station will probably be our best spot"
"You're kidding me? We have an apartment and you want us to go a subway station" Addison said
"Addie come on, we'll explain it all at the station" Bradley said grabbing her arm and pulling her down the street. The group made their way to the subway station and found a bent in the wall where they could sleep. Josh, Jacob and Baliey fell asleep as soon as they sat down.
"Why are we here Bradley?" Addison said
"Because like we said that apartment isn't safe, Hayden isn't a good guy" Bradley said "I mean you just got back after midnight from the FBI"
"I wasn't at the FBI all night" Addison said
"Where were you then?"
"At the Burke house"
"Why?'
"Elizabeth Burke had me over for dinner with herself, Peter and Neal Caffery"
"You spent time with Caffery?"
"Yes and it was incredibly awkward"
"Did you tell him?"
"NO!" Addison exclaimed "Why does everyone want me to tell him?"
"What do you mean everyone? The only people who know about him are sitting here and they clearly haven't asked you about it" Bradley said gesturing to the sleeping boys.
"I told Elizabeth" Addison mumbled
"Seriously? You barely know her"
"She just has a way of getting you to open up to her" Addison shrugged. "So if the apartment and Hayden are so dangerous and unsafe, how could we leave a bunch of 14 and 15-year-olds with him?"
"Way to change the subject" Bradley said "It's the rules of the streets, everyone for themselves"
"Should we tell the FBI where he is?" Addison asked
"Not yet. He'll know it's us. We just need to lay low for a little bit. No more busking in Central Park" Bradley said
"How are we gonna eat then?" Addison asked
"We'll ride the subways and busk on board, in the stations" he said "But we are all going to have to stick together"
"Who would have thought two years ago at that foster home we'd be here now?" Addison sighed
"Never did I think Jacob would lie out in the open with another guy in his arms, let alone bring him with him" Bradley said "He used to be so far in the closet" he laughed
"So far" Addison laughed
"You don't need to tell Caffery" Bradley said after a pause "You have us. We're your family"
"A werid family, but a family" Addison nodded
"Where are they?!" Hayden yelled
"What?" someone asked
"Freya, Jacob, Baliey, Josh and Bradley. WHERE ARE THEY?!" Hayden screamed
"No one knows. They weren't here when we all woke up"
"Find them!"
