Jonathan’s ringing phone startles us awake the next morning.

“Hey, Pierce. No. I’m out of town. What’s up? Today? What could be so urgent? Okay. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

“What’s going on?” I ask after he ends the call.

“I don’t know,” he replies, looking at his phone. “Something’s wrong with my mom.”

“I’m sorry. Is she going to be okay?”

“I don’t know. Pierce told me she was at the hospital for a short while last night, and she asked to see all of us today. I’m sorry, Babe, but I’m going to have to head home early.”

“Is there anything I can do?”

“No. Be alert when you’re outside. Douglas confirmed these men were hunters last night. They were still arrested because they were doing it illegally.”

“Oh my God.”

“He says the wildlife people say no one should be hunting in this area at this time of year.”

“I hope you’re right; that was a nerve racking experience.”

“I know. But the FBI is doing its job. They’ll keep you safe. Try not to worry.”

He heads into the shower, and I make him a sandwich and a cup of coffee that he can take with him. I’m concerned about his mom. I hope everything is all right. Then again, it couldn’t possibly be or she wouldn’t be asking for an immediate family meeting.

I return to the room and help him pack his bags while he gets dressed.

“By the way, Phillip told me about that necklace. Promise me that you’ll wear it.”

“Jonathan.”

“Jada, please. It will put my mind at ease. When I’m with you, you can do what you want. But I trust Phillip. He’s never let me down as a friend. He and the rest of the team are my eyes when I’m not here. They’re doing this to protect you.”

“But—”

He pulls me into his arms and gazes into my eyes. “Please don’t fight me on this. It’s for your safety.”

“Okay… fine…” I reply reluctantly then I follow him to the garage. I hand him his coffee and sandwich.

“Thanks, Babe. I’ll call you as soon as I’m settled. Go back to bed. You haven’t gotten much rest.”

He kisses me lightly on my lips and backs out of the garage.

“And activate the alarm,” he says.

I nod, watch him leave, close the door, and take his advice and return to bed after ensuring the alarm is on.

After all the drama, it’s only then my mind drifts back to what those hunters interrupted last night. I smile and return to sleep, hoping that when I wake, whatever is going on with Jonathan’s mom is a minor issue.
