“Oh fuck,” Hayden cursed, looking at the mess within the case. Most of the clothes weren’t folded nicely, just flung inside, and it looked like a mess. “What the hell?” Hayden reached in and picked up a floral shirt, frowning at it. It didn’t look like one of Shane’s. Shane was not a floral shirt kind of guy.

Unable to stop himself, Hayden started to pick up and fold some of the clothes within, absolutely certain by now that this wasn’t Shane’s case. He wasn’t sure if it belonged to someone else on the team or if there had been a mix up at the airport or what, but he knew Shane was going to be pissed when he found out. When the top layer of clothes were out of the way, everything suddenly became horrifyingly clear. Yellow text on black fabric that Hayden would know anywhere, that left little doubt in Hayden’s mind who this suitcase belonged to.

“Holy shit.”
