I jerk my head around as the door opens, and Axton practically falls into my room, sweat trickling down his temples. Every muscle in my body tenses. All I can think is: Don\u2019t trust Axton. His perfectly pink bottom lip is split. One pant leg is torn, and his knee is scraped. \u201cHave any of you seen Jack?\u201d Axton asks, out of breath.<\/p>\n

Iris scoffs. \u201cWe\u2019re not telling you. Hello, we\u2019re playing a game. We want to win.\u201d Axton heaves a furious, frustrated sigh. \u201cHave you seen Jack?\u201d Axton tries again, only louder this time, voice frantic. Prescott arches a skeptical brow. \u201cWhy are you looking for Jack? He\u2019s your competition.\u201d \u201cAt the party, Jack was on the archery turf, and then he wasn\u2019t,\u201d Axton says, a nervous edge creeping into his voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cFord and I looked for him. We searched the entire estate. All fifty-two acres. He wasn\u2019t anywhere. No one has seen him.\u201d Harper and I exchange a nervous glance, and instantly my stomach lines with dread. I can\u2019t tell if Axton is a good actor trying to trick us, or if something is wrong. \u201cNo one has seen Jack in hours,\u201d Axton says.<\/p>\n

\u201cJack is missing. He\u2019s gone.\u201d Cold sweat pricks at the back of my neck. Gone. No. \u201cWhere\u2019s Ford?\u201d I blurt out. \u201cMy room,\u201d Axton says. \u201cIn case Jack turns up there.\u201d I grab a pen and paper to leave a note: I went to your room. Meet there. Every bright fourteenth, He by water I don\u2019t put every bright fourteenth or he by water in all capital letters.<\/p>\n

Jack knows they\u2019re anagrams and he knows what they mean: Truth Before Everything. Weatherby. All the Liars do. That\u2019s how he\u2019ll be sure I\u2019m the one who left the note. I run down the hall and across the courtyard to Jack and Axton\u2019s room, heart beating in my chest, holding on to hope that Axton is messing with us. When I open the door, Ford stops in his tracks. His eyes dart around, landing on each of us, and a pained expression crosses his face, worry turning to fear.<\/p>\n

His blue eyes meet mine. \u201cJack isn\u2019t with you.\u201d Ford chokes on his words. My heart sinks. \u201cWe can\u2019t find him. He\u2019s missing.\u201d There\u2019s a high-pitched ringing in my ears. I pull Ford in, and I can feel my big, strong older cousin start to shake in my arms. I want to cry, but I can\u2019t fall apart. I need to hold it together. Iris says, \u201cHow long has it been since you last saw Jack?\u201d Ford glances at his watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cFive hours.\u201d Iris\u2019s eyes bug out. \u201cHe could be anywhere by now.\u201d<\/p>\n
