Then I texted them.
Me – Sorry. I would never. Alec told me to say that.
Wolfe – Oh, well, you're forgiven.
Smoke – Hi, doll.
Smoke – Send us a picture.
Ice – Yeah, we need to see if you're real.
Jekyll – Agreed.
Hyde – Have you fuckers never said the word PLEASE?
Smoke – Please.
Ice – Please.
Jekyll – Please.
Wolfe – Please. There. Are you happy, fuck face?
I laughed, then took a picture with Alec in the background, showering, and sent it to them.
Wolfe – You are real.
Ice – Fuck me.
Hyde – Tell Alec I’m stealing you.
Jekyll – I’m kidnapping you.
Smoke – I just happen to be in the next town.
Smoke – Pack a bag.
Wolfe – Too pretty for his ass.
Alec was laughing as I told him what they said, then I asked, “Want me to delete it?”
He shook his head, “Nah, we delete the group chats before we go to sleep each night.” At his words, I nodded.
Then his phone rang in my hand.
I looked down at it and said, “Tyron is calling.”
He nodded, “Close the door.”
I did as he asked and closed the door behind me.
He came out moments later, and he sighed, “Gotta go. The rest of the team just got the word, too.”
At my nod, I asked, “What can I do?” I asked him.
He winked, “Keep my cover for me?”
I nodded, “Always.”
