Viv

How would you go about killing forty people? Especially if they have some kind of obvious connection back to you?

Zane

Who are we killing?

Viv

Everyone the guys have slept with.

Zane

Umm… Well, I guess it would have to be a very tedious and time-consuming set of believable accidents.

Viv

But that could take years to pull off without drawing suspicion.

Zane

I could ask Cain. He’s good at planning things.

Viv

What?!?! No, don’t ask him.

Apparently it’s too late, because my phone chines with a text at the same time that Sloane’s does. Opening the new message thread, I find that I’ve been added to a group text.

Zane

Theoretically, how would someone kill forty connected people without drawing attention?

I groan and then frown at Sloane, who’s still fast asleep. At least he’s not awake to be able to see my embarrassment.

Cain

No.

Zane

I said theoretically.

Cain

We’re not idiots. You’re not killing forty people.

Nox

Why did you add Viv to this chat?

Cain

Who the fuck do you two want to murder?

Zane

Theoretically.
