Lost and Found

Chapter Fifty-Six

Orion's POV

While Roy was doing whatever he was doing, I was talking to Walter, Zach, and Julian.

"We should tell Andre where Trubel is," Zach suggested.

"Why?" I asked.

Zach sighed with frustration. "Because he'll want Trubel, Burkhardt, and probably Roy dead."

"I don't think that's a good move," I told them. How the hell was I going to successfully talk them out of this crap?

"Why not?" Walker asked suspiciously. I would have to be careful so they wouldn't find out I was working with Roy.

"Because the Grimms aren't our problem anymore. They'll leave us alone, now, and the last thing we want is for Andre to piss them off and make them come after us," I argued.

"I think we can take them," Julian said.

"But we don't have to fight them," I said. "They aren't bothering us anymore."

"They're still Grimms," Zach said, unconvinced. This still wasn't going well.

"All I'm saying is, I think we should focus on Roy," I suggested. Roy stood a chance against the others; he was a Mauvais Dentes, I would help him fight, and I was going to know everything the others planned. "Right now, he doesn't know Trubel's with Nick, and we have to work to keep it that way. If he finds out where she is, he's going to try to bring Trubel back."

"Oh, yeah. That would be bad!" Walter agreed.

"Yeah," I said. "So we need to figure out what we're telling Andre, and Roy, and everyone."

"Let's pretend like we didn't follow Trubel. We can all just say we didn't know where she went," Zach suggested.

"That's a great idea!" I said, pretending like that's not what I was trying to get him to say this whole time.

Roy's POV

I dropped Orion off at the house and then drove Andre's Mustang to the hotel where Dwaine, Bruno, Marcus, and Andre were. Andre had told me their room number before he went to see them, so I parked my car and ran up to go talk to them. I knocked on the door, and Andre opened it and told me to come inside.

When I walked inside, I saw Coltin, one of Cash's people talking to the others.

"What's going on?" I asked.

Andre looked pissed off and stressed out. I wondered how much he knew. "Coltin says that every one of Cash's people is dead except for him," Andre said gravely.

"Everyone?" I asked. I needed to pretend that I didn't know what happened to Trubel. "Is Trubel okay?"

"I thought you were picking her up," Andre said, looking worried.

"I was, but she didn't show," I explained. "Something must have happened to her."

Something did happen to her. I needed to convince Andre that whatever was going on wasn't Trubel's fault if I could.

"Something better have happened to her," Andre growled. "Or else, she's dead. God, Cash is going to kill us!" Andre was freaking out. Now probably wasn't a good time to play mind games with him.

"We should tell him what's going on. It'll be a lot worse if he finds out himself," Coltin told us.

Andre put his face in his hands and groaned before saying, "Fine," and pulling out his phone. He dialed and put the phone on speaker.
