Hudson

Mason: Where the hell have you been, Wilde? You’ve been MIA.

Aiden: We haven’t heard from you much. Not even texts. Did you join a cult? Blink twice if you need help.

Hudson: I’m alive. Thanks for the concern.

Mason: Barely. I’ve seen ghosts more social than you lately.

Dane: You guys want to hear something funny?

Aiden: Always.

Mason: Please, tell me Hudson did something embarrassing.

Dane: Oh, he did. I saw him yesterday, driving down Main Street. In a SUIT.

Mason: A suit??? Hudson Wilde? The guy who wears joggers to team dinners??

Aiden: Was it even him? Maybe it was his evil twin.

Hudson: I don’t have an evil twin.

Mason: Nah, bro, YOU are the evil twin. What’s with the suit? Job interview? You finally going corporate?

Aiden: He’s certainly pissed Coach off enough to lose his job.

Hudson: Very funny. It’s none of your business.

Dane: Hudson in a suit is everyone’s business. You looked like you were heading to a wedding or something.

Mason: A wedding? Hold up. Is there something you’re not telling us?

Hudson: Relax. I wasn’t at a wedding.

Aiden: Were you late for it? Because that tracks.

Hudson: I hate all of you.

Mason: Suspicious silence. Bro’s definitely hiding something.

Dane: No doubt. Hudson Wilde wearing a suit on a random weekday? I don’t buy it.

Aiden: Dude probably spilled coffee on his joggers and panicked.

Mason: Or he’s secretly in the mob.

Hudson: I’m not in the mob. And I don’t panic.

Dane: The suit begs to differ.

Mason: Be honest, are you in trouble? Did Mommy and Daddy finally punish you for all those times you broke curfew?

Hudson: You guys need hobbies.

Aiden: Bullying you is my hobby.

Dane: Ditto.

Mason: Answer the question : WHY THE SUIT, WILDE?

Hudson: You’ll never know.

Dane: Sketchy.

Mason: Extremely sketchy. I’m googling “Hudson Wilde spotted in suit” to see if you made the news.

Hudson: Good luck with that. I’m not telling you anything.

Aiden: He’s hiding something.

Mason: 100%. I’m adding this to the list of Hudson Mysteries.

Dane: We’ll find out. We always do.

Hudson: Keep dreaming, boys.

Mason: Someone’s butt hurt.

Hudson: I’m muting this chat.

Aiden: ?? Guilty as hell.

Mason: This isn’t over.
