CHAPTER TWELVE

Cain couldn’t go back home, not knowing that Hayley was sitting in a cell. He’d tried to see her, but had been told that she was being processed for relocation. Could not be seen until after she was transferred to Georgia Women’s Correctional.

Was she scared? She would have to be. This had to be her worst nightmare.

He still hadn’t heard back from Ren but knew the other man would get to him as soon as he had information. Meanwhile, Cain decided to do what he had promised Hayley. He would watch over Mason.

Cain parked his car outside Hayley and Ariel’s small apartment complex with no intention of going inside. Not without Hayley, not until she was ready for him to meet Mason. That was the least he could do after everything that had happened. But he would keep watch over their building from here. He wasn’t going to be getting any sleep anyway.

Tomorrow would involve finding the judge who was on vacation, the one who had given the initial court order for Hayley’s assistance. Cain had no intention of waiting until she had an actual parole hearing to take in proof of the court order. He’d do it as early as possible.

She’d be transferred back to Georgia Women’s Correctional tomorrow afternoon. At least once she was there Cain would be able to use his law enforcement credentials to see her.

It was not quite getting dark when the door of the apartment complex opened and Ariel and Mason walked out. They were holding each other’s hands as they crossed to the small park half a block away. Cain got out of the car and followed them, careful to keep his distance.

Ariel sat on a bench while Mason ran around the wooden play area with a couple of other children. He ran full steam back and forth over a bridge, across monkey bars, and up and down slides. Cain couldn’t help but be enthralled with him.

“You’re going to make the other parents nervous if you keep standing there like a stalker,” Ariel called out.

He crossed over to her but didn’t sit on the bench beside her. “How did you know I was there?”

“I saw your car before we even left the apartment. Plus, Hayley gave me a heads-up that you might be around.”

“Did she tell you what happened?”

“Briefly, in a very short phone call from her holding cell, not that she knew exactly what was going on. I resisted the urge to tell her that bad things happen to her whenever you’re around. She’s got enough to worry about.”

“I’m going to get this fixed.”

“You do that.” Ariel didn’t seem to have much more to say to him.

“She told me about Mason. That I’m his father.”

“Being a sperm donor does not make you his father.” Ariel’s voice was tight.

“I plan to be his father in every way that Hayley will let me.”

Ariel turned and glared at him. “You know, you’re lucky that Hayley is a lot more forgiving than I am.
