your ears.”  Bryan said and popped a couple of fries in his mouth. 
    “I want to know what he said to her.” 
    “You’ll find out later when we get to the hotel.  Cade I’m not blind I know you are more than attracted to her just remember she just turned twenty you’re twenty five.  She’s Lucifer’s daughter, hell any man with a brain and a dick thinks she’s hot.  Let’s just get them to the safe house and hope that Ronnie doesn’t find them.”
    I scrubbed my hands down my face, “You’re right, but fuck man I’m pretty sure she feels something between us too.”
    “Maybe—maybe not.”
    We paid our tab and went back to the dorms.  As we walked down the hall Theresa was knocking on their door then looked at us looked away then back at us.  “Hey, um,” she looked at the door with confusion, “I thought Syd came to let you guys in?  She ditched class before I did because my keys are inside.” 
    “Are you serious?”  Bryan asked.
    “Yeah, she got a text about ten minutes before class was over and said she was going to meet you guys here to let you in.”
    “Well obviously she didn’t.”  I said and stuffed my hands in my pockets. 
    “Sooo, then, where is she?”  Theresa said drawing out the words. 
    “You weren’t supposed to leave without each other.”  Bryan whisper yelled at her since there were women in the halls. 
    Theresa held her hands up, “Hey, don’t be pissed at me I had to talk to the instructor about some notes that I had misplaced a week ago.”
    I pulled my cell phone out and tried to call Sydney’s phone, it didn’t even ring it went right to voicemail.  “Un.fucking.believable.”  I said and tried calling her again.  Same thing, straight to voicemail.  Theresa and Bryan each tried calling and got the same thing. 
    “She has her phone off?  That’s not normal for her, it’s her lifeline.”  Theresa said with a sigh.  She scrolled through her phone put it up to her ear while looking at each of us, “His goes right to voicemail too.”
    “Ronnie’s?”  Bryan asked.
    “Yep.”  She said and leaned against the wall. 
    “You’ll just have to go show us where he lives then.”  I said and started to walk away. 
    “Um hello Einstein my car keys are locked inside.”
    “Um hello Einstein…you’re going to ride with Bryan.”  I said in a mocking tone to match hers. 
    “Oh, ha, sorry about that.”  She smiled and walked with us out of the building.  I followed Bryan for about ten minutes as we rode down side streets until Theresa tapped his shoulder and pointed at a small white house with a jacked up Ford pickup parked in the driveway.  Theresa took her helmet off after Bryan stopped and got off his motorcycle.  She ran across the street to the house and rang the doorbell a few times, nobody answered so she beat her fist against the door.  A tall skinny guy wearing boxers opened the door and squinted from the brightness of the sun.  He shook his head and let Theresa in.  A few minutes later she came out of the house shaking her head.  “She’s not here and neither is he.”
    Bryan shook his head, “I guarantee you they are somewhere together.” 
    “I don’t see why she would go anywhere with him, she knows he’s dangerous.”  Theresa said as she fastened the chin strap of the helmet and climbed on behind Bryan. 
    We rode back to the college, Theresa hunted down the janitor so she could get into the dorm.  “I’m going to take a short nap will you please wake me up in an hour?”  she asked Bryan. 
    “Yeah.”  he said then nodded for me to go out in the hall with him.
    “You’re going to have to keep me from strangling her when she shows up.”  He ran his hand through his hair tugging on the back. 
    “What the fuck is she thinking?”  I said.  I leaned against the wall and stared at the celing. 
    “I bet you she is going to back out on going to the safe house too.  I can’t make her man, all I
