After about two minutes, the text showed as Read. He had access to his phone, or maybe someone else had it. My mind began to play tricks on me until my phone rang.

Where the fuck are you guys? I shouted.

Ian, I’m in so much fucking trouble right now. I need help.

What did you do to my girlfriend?!

I didn’t do anything but—

The phone went dead and a few seconds later a text came through.

Meet me at the old hang out in twenty-five minutes!

“Get a hold of anyone?” Chance asked, folding his arms over his chest.

“Yeah, you’re coming with me!”

“What’s going on?”

“Do you know how to shoot a gun, Grammy Boy?” I pulled the pistol from my back waistband, holding it out.

“First of all, a Grammy is for music.” He sighed, taking the gun, and fumbled with it.

My eyes widened at the way he handled my loaded gun.

“Yeah, we play with prop guns on set all the time.” He tossed it in the air and caught it.

I reached out to grab it and he jerked it away. “Relax I’m just joking,” he scoffed. “I saw the safety was on.” He slid it into his own waistband. “I know how to shoot for real. My dad and I used to go to a gun range back in the day. I got you.”

I rolled my eyes. It took everything in me not to knock him out. I marched to the front door, heaving it open and hurried to my car. He followed closely, locking up his house on the way out. After several silent moments in the car, he finally spoke.

“Do you really think she’s in danger?” he muttered, the reality finally sinking in.

“Hope not.” I kept my eyes forward.

“If anything ever happened to her I’d die,” he admitted, all joking diminished. “She is my closest friend.”

“You’re in love with her.” I glimpsed at him and back at the road.

“Uh, no.” He paused for a moment before continuing, “She’s the reason I’m still alive and I love her like family.”

“What do you mean?”

I was nearby to where Mark told me to meet him. It was a basketball court in South Boston we used to play ball at growing up. Watching closely out the windshield, I looked out for traps. I had a horrible, sickened feeling.

“Way before her mom died, I did an interview with her talk show. I met Jenna there.” He sighed. “I planned to kill myself that afternoon when I left, but Jenna asked me to hang out. She was there for me, ya know? I’m great now but I wasn’t back then. I owe her my life.”

“Well good.” My car slowed to a stop next to a bike rack on the curb. “You might give your life for her tonight.” I heard everything uttered from Chance’s mouth, but right now, I was focused on what mattered. I opened the door and stepped onto the cement sidewalk; the original squared tile design remained from when I was younger. I peered through the black twelve-foot-tall fence into the dark court.
