Cindy’s heart went out to Rebecca. The other woman was clearly terrified. “You have to tell us what you know so that we can stop him,” she urged.

“There’s no stopping him,” Rebecca said as a tear rolled down her cheek.

“Yes, there is. There’s not a man alive who can stand up to Jeremiah,” Cindy said fervently.

She saw Jeremiah wince at that.

“You don’t understand. He’s former army, special forces.”

“Tell me about him,” Jeremiah said, his voice low and dangerous sounding.

Chills danced up Cindy’s spine. She’d seen firsthand what Jeremiah could do and she didn’t give the stalker even three seconds to survive a fight with him.

Rebecca just turned pale and shook her head. She clearly didn’t want to talk although why Cindy didn’t know. Was she protecting him? That seemed unlikely given how afraid of him she was and given what he’d done to Liam.

She was about to press the matter when Jeremiah abruptly stood. Rebecca looked as startled as she felt.

“Cindy, I think it’s time you and I got something to eat. We can finish discussing this afterward,” he said.

She wanted to protest but she was hungry and certain that he must have a good reason for delaying the rest of the conversation.

“I could eat,” she said, standing up.

Jeremiah scooped a phone up off Liam’s bedside table and tossed it to Rebecca who caught it. “We’re going to be downstairs in the cafeteria. Call if anything happens,” he said.

Rebecca nodded mutely and Jeremiah grabbed Cindy’s arm and steered her out of the room. They headed down the hallway outside and got on an elevator. Once the doors had closed she turned to him.

“What was that?”

“We weren’t going to get anything more out of her at the moment. She’s more scared to talk than she is to stay quiet at this point. I’m hoping that some time alone with Liam in that hospital room will flip that.”

“Why do you think she’s too scared to talk?” Cindy asked.

“I don’t know, but figuring that out might help.”

The doors opened and they stepped out into another corridor and headed for the cafeteria.

“Liam called me to come down here and told me not to bring any cops.”

“That’s weird, why?”

“I don’t know. The nurse had just given him something to sleep when I got here. All he had time to tell me was that he thought Rebecca was being stalked.”

“It’s weird. Why call you instead of Mark?”

“I don’t know,” Jeremiah admitted as they reached the cafeteria.

“Well, it’s a lot crazier than my imagined work mystery,” Cindy said.

Jeremiah turned to gaze quizzically at her. “What imagined work mystery?”

“I’ll tell you once we sit down,” she said.
