"Let's go find Hedda," Oliver said.

CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN

HEDDA

"Ican't believe you're here!" Storm yelled. "How long have you been here?"

Hedda looked over at Storm as they ate some oranges. It wasn't her favorite thing, but that was what Angelo gave her. She tried to get something else, but he told her no and locked the pantry where all the unhealthy things were.

Mean.

That was what Angelo was.

Totally a meanie.

"I honestly have no clue when I arrived," Hedda whispered.

It wasn't a lie. She didn't know what day she got taken or what day it was today. No one had told her anything.

"What do you mean?" Storm asked.

Hedda didn't know if she was allowed to tell Storm what happened. She was one of her closest friends, but her brother was weird about some things.

She looked up at Angelo to only see him already looking at her. What was she supposed to say?

Angelo shrugged his shoulders and Hedda let out a sigh.

"Thanks for the help," Hedda muttered.

"What's going on?" Storm asked. "What aren't you telling me?"

Hedda looked back at Storm and gave her a tight smile. Well, she was going to tell Storm and if her brother didn't like it then, oh well. He hadn't told her not to tell anyone.

She was also surprised Storm didn't know. Hedda had no clue whether everyone in the Ricci Crime Family, well the close circle, knew she was back in town. That Rogan had taken her from Missouri.

"Rogan kidnaped me from Missouri," Hedda whispered.

She didn't know how Storm was going to take it. She had been kidnapped before and it might be triggering.

"He did fucking what?!" Storm yelled. "Why did he kidnap you?"

Hedda cringed at her language. Storm wasn't the type of person to curse. When she did, that normally meant she was really scared or really angry.

This wasn't good.

"Well?" Storm asked. "Why did he kidnap you? I thought you were getting along with Oliver and Leo just fine. Did they do something?"

Hedda shook her head. "Papa and Daddy didn't do anything. I mean, Oliver and Leo."

"Girl, call them whatever. You know I call Miles, your best friend, Daddy," Storm said as she rolled her eyes. "Now tell me why he kidnapped you!"

She moved around in her seat, uncomfortable. Maybe she should have just said she was visiting instead of Rogan kidnapping her.

"You aren't getting out of this!" Storm said. "Tell me now!"

"Well, he didn't like that I was staying with Papa and Daddy," Hedda said. "Or at least that's what I think it was. He didn't actually tell me."

Hedda closed her eyes. That wasn't entirely true.
