Chapter 8

Vincent couldn’t remember ever being so angry. Forcing himself to remain calm, he leaned against the doorframe in Jordan’s room as she retrieved her cell phone from her nightstand. Her hands shook as she picked it up and that only further enraged him. He hated seeing her scared.

Whoever had destroyed her car was clearly targeting her and he was going to keep her safe, no matter what it took. And make her would-be attacker pay. He was certain that violent fire bomb attack last night was related to her car exploding. There was no way it was a coincidence and even before the police confirmed it, he knew that explosion wasn’t an accident. So that left a hell of a lot of questions.

Jordan closed the distance between them and started to hand her cell phone to him, but then snagged it back, her expression pinched. “Her name is Edith Clark, but…I should call her first, explain what’s going on.”

Nodding tightly, he waited as she scrolled through her numbers then pressed send on one of the names. As she held up the phone to her ear he snagged it from her hand, not caring how forceful he was being.

“Vincent,” she snapped, but he turned away from her and strode down the hallway toward the living room as it rang. Stretching his legs released a fraction of his pent up energy, but not much. Beating the shit out of the bomber was the only thing that could do that.

“She’s right next to me and what’s wrong is that someone tried to fire bomb her and me last night and then this morning, her fucking car exploded. Now why don’t you tell me what the fuck is going on? Did Curtis Woods have more friends or relatives you idiots forgot to tell her about? This isn’t some random act of violence and I want to know every fucking thing about the Woods’s case. Now!” He was full on shouting, unable to contain his anger any longer. He knew he should be a hell of a lot more diplomatic instead of pissing this woman off, but he felt like a powder keg. Keeping his cool and staying in control was never a problem—unless Jordan’s life was in danger.

“Is Jordan all right?” There was real concern in the woman’s voice.

It was the only thing that tempered Vincent’s anger. “She’s fine, though she’s glaring daggers at me right now.”

Jordan leaned against the outer kitchen counter, watching him restlessly pace along the tile floor.

“Can you tell me exactly what happened? Are the
