Chapter Four

Chase headed out of the apartment when Seth called and asked her to meet him. They planned to meet just down the street. Phillip was out running errands he couldn’t put off, but she figured she’d be safe in downtown Chicago. Besides, she wouldn’t be alone for long.

That had been the theory, but it was a different story now that she was outside. She stopped and glanced around again. Her skin crawled with unease. She swore she was being followed, but she couldn’t figure out who it was. Unless she was just being paranoid, which was quite possible. Her breathing was fast and choppy, making her feel a bit lightheaded.

Phillip had told her to stay inside and that he’d be back soon. She was the one who’d decided to step out on her own, proving to both of them she was healing. She was only going a few blocks, nothing big. She could do this, or that had been her belief before she’d ventured out alone.

It wasn’t easy. Someone had tried to kill her, had succeeded in killing Jocelyn and Chase couldn’t remember who it was. The only person she knew for sure she was safe with was Phillip. So, why had she left without him? Because she trusted Seth, and he needed to see her. Jocelyn would have expected her to make sure Seth was okay. Despite her missing memory, Chase didn’t believe for a moment Seth would have hurt either of them. Had he been anywhere around, he would have protected them with his life.

Jesus! This was ridiculous. She could do this. She had to. She needed to prove to herself she was capable of doing things by herself or she’d spend the rest of her life afraid of her own shadow. It was daylight in the middle of Chicago. Intense cold was the only thing threatening her at the moment. She straightened her spine, took a deep breath and barely held in a scream when someone grabbed her arm.

“Chase?”

She looked up into the sad, brown eyes of Jocelyn’s boyfriend.

“Seth! You scared the hell out of me.”

“Sorry, I thought you saw me when you stopped.” Seth reached up and pulled his hat down before blowing on his gloveless fingers. “I needed to see you. Your boyfriend didn’t seem too keen on it, wouldn’t let me see you at the hospital. I was a little surprised you answered the phone at the apartment.”

“Phillip said they weren’t letting anyone in to see me. It wasn’t just you, Seth. He told me you stopped by, though.”

Seth snorted. “He’s a protective son-of-a-bitch, but I can’t blame him. I’d do the same if it was Jocelyn standing here.”

She bit her lip to hold back more of her seemingly endless supply of tears. “I’m so sorry.”

He looked up, down, over her shoulder. Anywhere but at her. “We both lost her,” he finally said. “Have you been to the grave yet?”

She shook her head.

“I go every day. I… Who did this to you? Who
