I should've turned around right then, but after everything I'd heard that morning, I wasn't backing down.
"I just need to talk to him."
Most of them avoided eye contact after that, but finally, another player named Drew spoke up.
"He might be at Taylor's place."
The others looked at him judgmentally.
"What?" Drew shrugged. "We all know they're secretly dating."
That came as a surprise to me.
"I just need to talk to him."
"Taylor with the piercings?" I asked.
Drew nodded. "Her parents are out of town for the weekend."
I asked for the address, and he gave it to me.
I thanked him and left before anyone said anything else.

"Cindy?"
"I'm sorry for showing up like this, but the police and Caleb's parents came to my house this morning looking for him."
The second I said Caleb's name, her expression changed.
