It had been a really long fucking night, and Brady didn't feel any closer to figuring Edan out. Granted, they hadn't done a hell of a lot of talking after he'd told her to try to sleep, but he'd stayed awake the entire time which had provided him with plenty of time to think. When she'd woke in the morning and said she was going to return the bedding to Asher, he wasn't surprised in the least. What the hell she saw in the guy, he didn't know, and he was figuring he was about done trying to figure it out. Especially on no sleep.
Once Edan left, Brady got up, stretched, and left the music room with every intention of going to the elevator and getting back to his room so he could try to get some sleep. He was waylaid, though, at the sight of two nooses hanging from an apple tree. What the fuck? He crossed to it, tired eyes sparking with anger when he saw Autumn's name carved into the tree along with Mazie's and the heart around them. What the hell? Was someone targeting Autumn now, too?
Seriously, what the hell was going on here? First those anonymous messages yesterday, and now this? He blew out a breath and glanced around as if he might be able to spot whoever had done this. The only person about, though, was a man in a suit and fedora - who the hell wore a suit in prison? Stupid fucking white collar assholes. The guy was staring at the door of one of the rooms, which was enough to pique Brady's curiosity, and he headed in that direction.
"Well fuck," he said when he got close enough to see the words scrawled over the door. "This your room?" he asked the man, nodding toward the door.
