Chapter 16

Juliet caught Chase’s wrist.

He jerked his sunglasses off, and his pale blue eyes narrowed in anger and bored directly into hers. Her stomach went into freefall, and she found it difficult to draw a full breath. She shook free of the sudden buzz of attraction. Sitting beside her in the pew, she’d felt the heat of his body, smelled his clean, masculine sent. His body was muscular and fit, and the reddish-brown stubble dusting his jaw drew attention to the shape of his lips.

And now all that had been wiped away because of that scrap of paper he held clenched in his hand. “As long as that paper is in proximity to you, it will draw them to you.”

“Them?”

She ignored the one word question. “It’s like a freaking metaphysical GPS system for…whatever they are.”

“It’s evidence of a crime, Juliet. It’s just a piece of paper with words written on it.”

Her fingers tightened on his wrist. “You have to listen to me.” With his healthy ego and the gun strapped to his hip, he’d walk right into something deadly if she couldn’t convince him. “You’re not dealing with human beings here. A human couldn’t have burned and bruised my neck at the same time. Or bruised Miranda’s arm in the way it was. A human couldn’t have walked through walls and killed Abbott in his cell.”

He searched her face. “You know how crazy that sounds?”

She’d known he wouldn’t believe her. So why did it still hurt? She released him and took a step back. “I know it sounds crazy. But you didn’t experience what I did. You weren’t dangled like a toy.”

“If they aren’t human, what are they?”

He sounded more curious than anything.

She shook her head, then flinched at the movement. The pounding at the base of her skull amped up. “I don’t know what they are, and I don’t care. All I know is as long as you have those papers in your possession you have a target painted on your back. And as long as I’m with you, I do, too.” She didn’t want to see anyone else in danger because of her.

Chase’s jaw suddenly went taut and his eyes narrowed again. Like ice-blue beams they, probed her features. “Stop trying to fuck with me and get in the car.” He jerked the car door open.

Juliet debated about whether or not to get in. She was exposed and vulnerable standing in the parking lot. Walking down the street would leave her completely unprotected.

She slid in and reached for her seat belt. She followed his movements as he moved to the back of the car and got something out of the trunk. He slammed it closed, and when he slid in behind the steering wheel, the note was encased in plastic. He stuffed it into his jacket pocket and shoved the key into the ignition.

“We’ll go by the station, and I’ll log the notes into evidence.”

“You can’t. You have to destroy them.”

He remained silent for a moment. His features hardened, his look stony.
