There was a long pause. That was a touchy question. Danny had a small satisfied smile on his face and a mischievous gleam in his eye. He seemed pleased with himself. He had managed to ruffle their feathers. Perhaps, that was one of his methods: emotional people spilled more secrets than calm ones.
“They broke up with us on their birthday itself before the party,” said Tonya after the long awkward silence.
“And it was via text!” Complained Avery.
“That’s not true!” Interrupted Calix.
Danny paused the tape.
“We asked them to come meet us via text and broke up with them officially in person,” said Calix defensively.
“I think they had an inkling what it was all about. It was a ‘we need to talk and it can’t wait’ kinda text,” said Alex with a shrug.
Danny looked at me, prompting me to say something.
“I don’t even remember what I said in the text to Tonya,” I admitted honestly. “How relevant is it?” I asked, feeling annoyed.
My Baby was missing and I was supposed to account for these stupid little details regarding my ex.
“Either way, we did the right thing!” I said, raising my voice slightly. “We broke up with them respectfully for our mate. No cheating, no ghosting, no stringing people along. A clean, honest, healthy, respectful break,” I said.
Danny pressed play again.
“We had all been together deciding on what to wear for the party and we all get texts from them saying they’re sorry but they’ve found their mate. They refused to say who she was so we were in the dark about their mate being Chasity. We went to the party anyway though we’d been unceremoniously uninvited. Chasity was there doing server work and we asked her if she knew who the triplets’ mate was and that little bitch lied to our faces,” snapped Sandra.
There was a low growl from Alex at Sandra calling Chasity a “bitch.” My wolf snarled inwardly too. Sandra was confusing Chasity with herself.
“Oh wait, I think my text did say something like ‘I think I found my mate so we need to talk’ and if they were all together when Avery got that text, they would automatically know we had all found our shared mate, meaning they would all get broken up with,” admitted Calix.
Danny had paused the tape again to listen to Calix’s revelation. I was getting antsy.
“No more pausing the tape,” I commanded in my Alpha voice.
Danny looked taken aback.
“Felix,” chastised Alex indignantly.
“Press play,” I ordered.
He was compelled to obey.
“So you were quite upset and weeks later decided to confront Chasity at a different party on the night of her disappearance?” Danny asked.
More awkward silence.
“We just talked to her that’s all!” Said Avery, her tone sounding earnest but I wasn’t buying it.
I hadn’t seen it myself but I just knew they had meant to corner her and intimidate her and maybe even cause a rift in our relationship by messing with my Baby’s confidence. I felt a pang of guilt when I recalled how we had been on bad terms right before she had gotten kidnapped. Her confidence had already been shaken that night from my brothers and I mismanaging the whole party. That should have been a fun safe night and she should have had our undivided attention all night. I felt like I couldn’t breath for a second when I thought about it but I managed to calm myself down.
“We told her the truth,” said Sandra letting out the ghost of a humourless laugh.
“What truth did you tell her?” Asked Danny.
Yeah, I wondered. Which version of the “truth” had she gotten from them?
“That the triplets complained about her constantly. How ungrateful she was, how unfriendly she was. She was always in a sullen bad mood. She was fat, poor, a loser,” said Tonya, going for the jugular.
It was my turn to growl. What the fuck was her problem? I felt another twinge of guilt. I had said many mean things about Chasity but I honestly didn’t mean any of them. I adored that girl. Even before the mate-bond, her safety had been a top priority for me. Now, I worshipped every curl on her head. I buried my face in my hands. My Baby was probably so scared right now without me. We were supposed to be living happily ever after right about now to make up for all the shit we put her through. I groaned thinking about my poor Baby scared and sleeping alone when she should be sandwiched between me and one of my brothers.
“They used the words fat, poor and loser?” He asked.
Another uncomfortable silence followed.
“I’m paraphrasing,” admitted Tonya.
She was paraphrasing? Was this Shakespeare?
“So after you confronted Chasity…” began Danny.
“She vomited on us!” Blurted out Avery, clearly keen on getting to the crux of the matter.
“And Alex came and took her away,” continued Sandra.
“That’s it, nothing else happened,” said Tonya.
“What did you girls think when you found out Chasity was missing?” Asked Danny nonchalantly though it was a loaded question.
“That she’d run off to find her parents!” Said Sandra without hesitation.
“Hmm so what were you girls doing around the time Chasity was allegedly kidnapped?” Asked Danny, again keeping his tone measured.
“We went to a bar, after the party, after we’d cleaned up a bit,” narrated Sandra.
“We needed to destress,” said Tonya with a heavy sigh.
“Ok, what bar?” Asked Danny.
I knew Danny was slick enough to find out if they were fabricating this alibi.
“The Serpent’s Tongue,” said Sandra blankly.
Alex’s eyes widened in surprise until they were the size of saucers while Calix’s mouth was agape in shock. I stifled a laugh at their expressions. Danny seemed like he had been unpleasantly surprised by that bar choice as well.
“That’s a pretty rough crowd. You girls were comfortable there?” He asked outright on the tape.
Silence.
“Anything interesting happened at this bar?” Asked Danny.
“Yeah!” Exclaimed Avery excitedly. “We met a celebrity, a supermodel! Well, an ex supermodel. She’s retired. Deirdre Binx. She was with this young hot guy. All those retired supermodels have boy-toys!” Said Avery, giggling.
“Did you talk to her?” Asked Danny, clearly intrigued.
“Of course!” Squealed Avery. “I asked for an autograph. She talked to me for like fifteen minutes! The model looking boyfriend had left to go somewhere so we all got to chill at the bar with her!” Boasted Avery.
“Yeah,” said Tonya coolly. “We were too shy to talk to her before but we worked up the nerve at the bar.”
“Before?” Asked Danny. “What do you mean?”
I had caught that too. Before what? They had met Deidre before? My stomach churned. I had a bad feeling about all of this.
“Deidre knew the party-throwers’ family and she was there at the party for a short time. She was there early! And left before the triplets and Chasity came and the whole vomit incident happened,” snarled Tonya, still angry at my Chasity over something beyond her control.
