“Thank you for lunch.” I squeezed Mace’s hand in mine and let him lead me to my car. “Are you busy this evening?”

“I’m going to work with the guys on the last of Greer’s stuff,” Mace told me as he stopped next to my car. “I can make it in time for dinner, though.”

“Cyrus requested meatloaf, so you might not want to get too excited.”

“Meatloaf is good.” Mace smiled and pulled me into his arms. “The company is what I’m after. I’ve got a book for Cyrus.”

“Oh, that’s sweet.”

“Yeah,” Mace laughed but didn’t explain why. “I think he’ll like it.”

My phone rang in my purse and I pulled away so I could get it out.

“Hello?” It was a number I didn’t recognize and I was afraid it might be Ellen.

“Ms. Lane?”

“Yes.”

“This is Ms. Proffer from Bivins Academy. There’s a man here who wants to pick up Cyrus and Vada, but he’s not on the approved list. He says he’s their father. He got very agitated when I explained I’d need to call you. I assured him I was going in to get Cyrus, but I called you instead.”

“Call 911 and don’t let my kids anywhere near him! I’ll be there in just a minute!”

Mace’s truck was parked next to my car and he yanked open the passenger door before he ran around to the driver’s side.

“Bivins, right?”

“Yes,” I barked as I yanked on my seatbelt.

I dialed Sonny’s number and when he answered, I quickly told him what was going on. Sonny lived in our neighborhood just a block or two away from me and even closer to the school than my house. He assured me he’d get to my kids as quickly as he could.

“It’s going to be okay, babe,” Mace assured me as he turned off the main road onto the street that led to my neighborhood. I reached up and grabbed the ‘oh shit’ handle to stop myself from being thrown around as he took another corner at almost full speed.

We got to the school quicker than I could have ever imagined and I was glad to see Sonny’s motorcycle parked up on the sidewalk close to the front door along with two police cars in the parking lot. Mace and I both jumped out of the truck and hurried into the school.

I could hear Travis before I could see him and I was filled with rage.

“Those are my kids, too, goddammit!”

“That son of a bitch!” I growled as I turned the corner that led me into the office. “I’ll kill him.”

Mace took my hand and held on tight as we walked through the double doors and he bumped into me when I skidded to a halt at what I saw before me.

Travis was on the floor with my cousin Sonny sitting on his back. Sonny had a hand on the back of Travis’s head, holding him down on the tile. Officer Nick Cardenas and his partner who were standing just a few feet away seemed unconcerned and were watching the spectacle with interest.
