Chapter Eighteen

“There’s activity at Keera’s apartment,” Declan said over the phone.

“What sort of activity?” Arden asked as he grabbed his keys and called Max, who was already on his heels as he heard the tension in Arden’s voice.

“The cops were called,” Declan told him.

Arden was in his car and speeding down his driveway within seconds. He was more than grateful Keera didn’t live far from him. He’d been with her all day at school, and she’d insisted she was fine, that nothing out of the ordinary had happened in a while and she didn’t need to be coddled. He’d hated leaving her alone, but he had to respect her wishes.

Besides, he was desperately trying to figure out what his feelings toward this woman were. He knew something was happening between them, and he also knew he was falling for her. But she had been guarded for a very long time, and he wasn’t sure he could get through to her, wasn’t sure she could open up to anyone after what she’d been through.

He was fighting on whether to look up her story. She’d shared with him, and he felt immensely pleased that she’d opened up to him as much as she had, but he wanted her to give him more, to give it all to him.

He didn’t know if she was capable of doing that. It was a real test of trust, and he needed to give her more time. But right now, all he cared about was getting to her, ensuring her safety. Then he could work on her trust more fully when someone wasn’t trying their best to destroy her.

Maybe this was about her past, though, and he was being a fool to not find out all he could to ensure her safety. And even though Arden wasn’t checking into her past, he was more than sure Declan had. If there was something Arden needed to know to keep her safe, he was sure his brother would tell him.

They got to the apartment building, where two cop cars were sitting, their lights off, their cabs empty. “Let’s get to Keera,” Arden told Max, who practically pulled Arden from the vehicle. The dog was just as worried about her as he was.

Keera was standing outside her door, speaking to two officers. Arden heard someone inside the small unit and knew there were probably two more checking out whatever was wrong.

“What happened?” Arden asked, knowing the two men speaking with her.

Arden had to respect them, because even though the men knew Arden, they looked to Keera to make sure it was okay for them to share the information. She nodded at the men, who appeared relieved. It sucked in a small town to have to keep something from someone they knew would want to help.

“Ms. Thompson’s apartment was broken into. The perps were caught by one of the neighbors, who called it in, but they managed to flee the scene,” Officer Nicolson said.

“Did they get a description?” Arden asked. He wanted in that apartment right now.
