It's best to leave dealing with troublemakers to the grown-ups. Kids should keep out of it.
"I'd love to figure out who's been leading my daughter astray," Sophie said, shooting a glance at Odie.
Odie suddenly felt a pang of guilt, though he couldn't quite say why. Clearing his throat, he said, "It's not on me. She's probably been spending too much time with Adler's son. That kid's trouble too."
"You're the one corrupting my daughter, and I haven't even confronted you about it yet. Once this is over, we'll have a proper conversation."
Odie felt like he was in a no-win situation. Since when did he get so spineless?
As night settled in, Fiona and Alec quietly slipped away from the Costello family home. Normally, they'd just be wrapping up school, but today, a kidnapping incident had caused an early dismissal. It was the perfect time for vendors to pop up around the school.
"Hurry up! You're moving too slow," Fiona called back to Alec as she walked ahead, motioning for him to pick up the pace.
Alec felt a bit embarrassed. "If you're going to investigate, do it openly. Sneaking around just makes you look suspicious," he said, grabbing the back of Fiona's shirt.
Fiona found herself lifted like a little chick, dangling by Alec's grip. Passersby gave them odd looks, as if they were a spectacle. Two high schoolers in uniforms, skulking near the school gates, looking like classic examples of delinquents sneaking out.
"What are those two up to? Are they crazy?"
"Looks like they're ditching school to date. Kids these days... tsk tsk."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
