A few minutes later, cold water splashed on them all and Eli looked up with a yell. Kellan was standing there with the hose.
“What?” Kellan asked as they glared at him. “I’m watering a pile of idiots. It’s for your own good.”
Duncan snorted and Shaw shook his head.
“Damn, haven’t had that much fun in ages and you go and interrupt it,” Wyatt complained.
“There’s always one killjoy,” Joe said as they all separated, getting up and brushing themselves off. Eli noticed that Carson was limping slightly and that Joe had a ripped shirt.
Good times.
“Hey, who has heard from Pierce and Tucker?” Wyatt asked as they sat down with beers Duncan grabbed for them.
“I’ve heard from Pierce. He’ll come visit when his tour takes a break,” Remington said.
“Tucker is another story,” Eli added. “Kellan hired someone to find him, but they haven’t tracked him down yet. We might need to go down to Costa Rica.”
Kellan nodded.
“Wyatt and I could go,” Carson offered.
“How long have you got off?” Duncan asked in surprise as he settled on a seat and drew Laken into his lap.
“Actually, we aren’t going back,” Wyatt said. “We quit.”
“We’re tired of the hours and the lack of a home,” Carson added.
“What are you going to do?” Eli asked in surprise. He hadn’t expected this.
“Don’t know,” Wyatt said. “Maybe buy a house and find someone to grow old with.”
“Too late,” Joe muttered.
“You better close your mouth.” Wyatt pointed at Joe who just grinned.
“Could be dangerous looking for Tucker,” Kellan warned.
“We’re up for a challenge,” Carson said. “Although we’re actually here to see Shaw.”
Shaw waved his hand through the air. “I’m doing well. You really didn’t have to come. I mean, who knew that me getting hooked on opioids and ending up on the streets would unite us all?”
Duncan slapped Shaw around the head. “Shut up. But yeah, let’s not wait until something like that happens again.”
Joe nodded. “I miss you guys.”
Eli’s phone rang and he glanced down at it. “It’s our boss.”
Damn it. His boss never called with good news.
You’re an idiot.
That was the conclusion that she’d come to after a good night’s sleep and a long lecture to herself.
She’d acted really immaturely. Instead of being an adult and talking to the guys about that kiss, she’d made their brother get rid of them.
Because she’d been embarrassed.
So this morning, she’d put her big girl panties on and headed to the hotel. Maybe she should have just texted them, but some things were better said in person.
