Chapter 9âHunter
Derby fans are intense.
I canât believe that someone would have the nerve to attack a player in the game but also leave a threatening note in a locker. Beth looks so shocked when she sees it that if Iâd had any questions about her involvement in what had happened to Gina, they were gone.
Not that I had.
Beth is an honest person. She would never resort to hurting someone.
Her ex-fiance on the other handâ¦well, I have a feeling heâs behind who hit me on the street, and even though heâs been fooling around with Gina, thereâs a spark of suspicion in my mind that he might have had something to do with what happened on the track. I wouldnât put it past him to hire someone to cause trouble. It makes for a good story.
I need to find out more about this guy.
But now is not the time. Beth is clearly rattled and I think the best thing we can do is get away from the roller rink. I take the letter in her locker, fold it up and slip it into my pocket.
âCâmon,â I say. âLetâs get you home.â
Her phone pings and she fishes it out of her purse. She grabs my arm, stopping me in my tracks as she studies her phone.
âHunter,â she says. âLook at this.â
I take the phone from her expecting to see a video of the man assaulting Gina. Instead, itâs a picture of Bethâs front door. Someone has written the word âbitchâ in red paint across the front of it. I squint at the sender of the picture. Itâs from social media and has been posted and reposted several times, making it hard to see where it originated.
âOkay. Home is not an option right now,â I say.
Her eyes well with tears, tugging at my heartstrings.
âI know where we can go.â I take her hand, pull her towards me. âItâs going to be okay.â
Her lips are soft beneath mine, but I can feel hesitation there, too.
âIâm scared,â she whispers. âI didnât think being here was going to cause harm to anyoneâ
âI know that.â
âBut the fans out thereâ¦â she shudders. âItâs like they just snapped or something.â
âI got your back, Beth..â
We walk out to my car and leave the parking lot without anyone seeing us. Beth sighs and stares out the window, defeat hunching her shoulders. Neither of us talks on the short drive to my motherâs house, but I do call the cops and report the property destruction at Bethâs loft.
When we get there, Mom is already standing on the porch, a look on her face that Iâve come to understand is her âpremonitionâ face. I used to see it all the time when I was a teenager. She always just seemed to know when I was in trouble.
I was never sure if she was really psychic or if she was just a good parent.
Her hair is pulled back into a scarf and sheâs wearing a flowy purple overcoat over her black top and jeans. Very mother earth.
