Staying crouched in the shadow of a house he waited and hoped that Otis could track his scent. There wasn’t much else he could do at this point since wandering around the street in his underwear would likely get the cops called on him anyway. His bare feet were mud soaked and cold, his bare skin covered in gooseflesh, and he was trying to put all the pieces of this together as he crouched there waiting to hear the tell tale sound of a bikes rumble that would signal Otis’s arrival.
Tigers or not, Tommy didn't believe that Caspian had anything to do with this. He didn't know what was going on but he felt sure about that instinct. One way to tell would be to call the man. If Caspian was willing to come to the Rodere house then it would go a long way towards proving his innocence. While he waited he called and left Caspian a message at the number Natalie had given him for the man. It rang through to voicemail so he left a message.
"Caspian, this is Tommy. I need to talk to you about something to do with Natalie and Kevin. When you get this just come to the Rodere House (insert address here)."
That was ambiguous enough that if Caspian wasn't in on things then he wouldn't have much of a clue about what was going on. If he did know then he'd stay away from the Rodere house and at least they'd know he was involved somehow. By the time he hung up the phone Otis was rolling by on his Chopper.
Caspian frowned as he listened to the message from Tommy. He should have figured shit would hit the fan as soon as Jenna was gone, but he wasn't expecting this. Something was wrong - he could tell that from Tommy's tone, from the faint sounds of sirens and what not in the background of the call. He listened to it the whole way through, then deleted it.
He sent a quick text message to Natalie, telling her to call him when she could. He needed to know Kevin was okay.
Then he got his boots on and grabbed his keys. He'd wanted to meet the rat king for a while now, knowing the Rodere was keeping an eye on Natalie and Kevin, but this hadn't exactly been how he wanted to do it. Now wasn't the time to get picky. He made sure their small horde was safe and sound before leaving the house.
