CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: LATE NIGHT VISITORS
Rebelâ
Thereâs a late meeting at the clubhouse, and Brayden wasnât sure what time heâd make it over. I closed the garage at seven. Itâs after eleven now, and Iâm in a pair of soft pjs made up of a tank and matching shorts. Lying on the bed, I play on my phone until a text comes in.
Brayden: Meeting just broke up. Having a beer with the guys, then gonna slip out.
Me: See you soon.
I go back to playing on my phone, Tucker and Daisy curled up on the rug next to the bed. Cars drive past on the highway, and the sound of their tires rolling on the pavement is familiar and soothing. Itâs a warm night, and Iâve got the window cracked open, letting the breeze inside.
Itâs after midnight when Brayden calls.
âHey, sweetheart. Iâm at a stoplight on 31. Just got off the interstate. Should be there soon.â
âGreat.â
I hear a banging sound and then something that sounds like a tool skidding across the concrete. Both dogs jump to their feet.
Thereâs a door at the top of the stairs entering my little apartment. I cross and lock it. Itâs not much of a door, and it could probably be broken down, but itâs something.
Tucker starts growling.
âWhatâs going on?â Brayden bites out.
âI think someoneâs in the garage,â I whisper.
âKeep the dogs with you, and get your gun. They come up the stairs, fire a couple warning shots up high through the door. Understand?â
âYes.â
âIâll be there in two minutes, baby.â
âHurry.â
âThey come through that door, do not hesitate to unload that weapon. Dead center chest. Got me, babe?â
I nod, tears streaming down my cheeks, more afraid than Iâve ever been.
I hear the roar of a motorcycle through the receiver and know heâs shoved it in his pocket and is riding hellbent to get to me. Sucking in a calming breath, I get the gun out of my bedside drawer and load a bullet in the chamber, removing the safety. Then I climb on the bed, back against the wall, and aim it at the door.
Tucker is growling low, his head cocked, his ears perked, listening. Then he barks. Thereâs no confusing it with anything but a big mean dog.
Whoever is down there, they arenât trying to be quiet. Things are being knocked to the floor. I try to separate the sounds and determine if thereâs more than one person. Maybe they just want tools and anything they can carry. Maybe theyâre after the cash box. Thereâs little cash in the building. No one uses it anymore. I canât remember the last time someone wanted to pay in cash. But still, I keep a couple hundred in small bills, just in case.
My heart is pounding, and Iâm trying to keep from completely losing it.
I hear a motorcycle in the distance, coming fast. Please let it be Brayden. But then an even scarier thought fills my head. What if thereâs more than one? What if they have weapons? What if Brayden gets hurt?
Footsteps on the stairs carry to my ears, and Tucker starts growling.
