FOURTEEN

Jake

“Great effort. Just make sure you swing that foot around before you attempt the take down next time.”

“Got it.”

I was in the middle of teaching a women’s self-defense group class with Huck, and everyone had paired up with someone else in the class to practice their moves. Huck and I moved around the class to observe, offer suggestions and corrections, as well as answer any questions.

Just as I was about to approach the next pair, I heard Kane’s voice at the entrance to the room. “Yo, Jake,” he called.

I spun around, saw him standing in the open doorway, and watched as he jerked his head backward. It was an indication he wanted me to come to him. Without hesitation, I moved in that direction.

“What’s up, man?” I asked when I came to a stop in front of him.

“Sorry to interrupt, but you’re going to want to step out of class right now,” he answered.

Confused, my brows pulled together. “Why?”

“I just got back from lunch and was walking toward the building when I met someone in the parking lot,” he started. “Your girl is here, and she’s not doing well.”

My body instantly tensed as my eyes flew to the picture window to see her standing there. Without even asking Kane for an explanation, I already knew what this was about. A bout of rage moved through me at the same time I felt nothing but worry.

“Did she tell you what’s going on?” I asked Kane.

“No. All she said was that she needed you.”

I dipped my chin in acknowledgement. “Do you mind covering this class for me?”

“That’s why I’m here.”

“Thanks, Kane.”

At that, I stepped outside the room as Kane moved deeper into it. I didn’t give the class a second thought, because I knew everything and everyone would be more than fine having Kane in my place.

My priority was Brynn.

I came around the corner, saw she hadn’t moved from the spot she’d been in when I looked out the window, and tears instantly welled in her eyes. She held out a bouquet of flowers to me, flowers I knew I hadn’t sent to her.

Seeing them and mixing that with the look on her face, I confirmed what I already knew to be the case.

I took the flowers from her, inspected the bouquet, and asked, “Was this all?”

She shook her head and held up her other hand. I took the small white rectangle from her grasp and read it.

You mean everything to me. We belong together.

A chill ran down my spine.

In my line of work, it wasn’t uncommon to hear about, witness, or have first-hand knowledge of creepy and unsettling things that individuals—many of them being women—experienced. No matter how much I hated it for them, I had gotten to a point where it didn’t affect me the way it obviously affected them.

But this time was different.

This time, it took every ounce of self-control I had not to completely lose my mind. And there was only one thing that managed to keep me on an even keel.
