Page 141 of Wrong Pucking Player

“You don’t just go into a woman’s apartment because your communication skills are absolute shit, Cyrus Jr.!” Armani snaps, and I hear Leo gasp.

“Oh fuck, Oscar. Don’t punch him! You guys have a game in a few days. Everyone will notice, and you know the rules about violence between staff and players!”

I can only imagine Armani having Wyatt in some sort of neck hold after being denied punching rights because Wyatt is coughing.

“Armani!” Leo hisses. “Let him go, man.”

That had to be the result because Wyatt’s gasping for breath.

“Fuck. I know I fucked up.”

“You don’t know shit,” Armani snaps. “Now, where did she go?”

“She’s in there!” Wyatt shouts. “I’m sure of it.”

“Ugh. You two can stand here and argue. I’ll go in just as a hospitality check, but neither of you is allowed to step foot in her apartment, or you’re fucking banned from the building. You understand?!”

“Yes,” Armani grunts.

“Understood,” Wyatt declares.

I hear the beep of the card key unlocking the door, making me tense up as I realize I need to get going. I’m still holding my phone for dear life, and I’m not even sure whether the FaceTime cut off or not. I’m barely thinking straight.

I just need to leave.

The real question is, where?

Where do I go?

“Shit,” Leo sounds breathless, as if he ran through the entire apartment. “She’s not here.”

“What?” Wyatt gasps. “That’s impossible. I was gone for a minute.”

“The place is empty,” Leo stresses and sounds worried. “Her stuff is gone, too. There’s nothing there of sentimental value to her.”

“We have to find her!” Wyatt stresses. “Um… you should know where she lives, right, Leo?”

“I don’t know where she lives, Wyatt,” Leo lies.

He does know.

Yet, he’s keeping his promise not to tell anyone.

Not even Wyatt.

“She works at the gym! Surely her address is there!”

“She used Mikayla’s address,” Leo lies again. This man really would protect me as a brother would. “And even if she hadn’t, I wouldn’t have revealed the details to you.”

“She could have gone to Mikayla’s then,” Wyatt stresses.

“And why would she involve her best friend and destroy your rep in a heartbeat?” Leo argues. “If Mikayla knew what a dumb douche you are, you’d be done for. In fact, I’m annoyed that Mack wouldn’t say shit to protect your selfish ass!”

“I’m not selfish!”

“Armani? Where are you going?” Leo calls out, making me realize there are footsteps coming my way.

SHIT!!!
