CHAPTER 12

“Hell no Kason ‘Benny’ Sawyer!” Jessyka stomped her foot. She had been ecstatic and pleasantly surprised when Fiona and Cookie arrived mid-afternoon at his aunt’s farmhouse door. They had a wonderful dinner, his aunts had cooked giving him a break, but after the kids went to bed, and Jessyka started to repack her night bag for the morning trip back to the casino and Benny dropped the bomb that she wasn’t going back with him, she went off on him.

“Jessyka, I want you safe out of harms’ way.” He stated it firmly and tried to reach for her hands. She was waving the hairbrush she had been about to pack in a threatening manner.

“Well, who in hell is going to watch your back. This is bull shit, Kason.” She was really pissed, he knew because she was using his proper name. And cursing, which she deplored.

“I’ll watch my own back,” he scoffed.

“Yeah, right! Just like last time.” She rolled her eyes at her husband. True, he was a SEAL, but he was human too. Going alone was absolutely out of the question.

“Hey, that’s not fair. I was hit from behind.” Jessyka could hit below the belt when she had her back against the wall. But she was also right. She was talking about the time her ex-boyfriend, the one who had been beating her up and using her like a punching bag, had clocked him over the head in a dark alley.

“And so you are saying that can’t happen again.” She crossed her arms over her chest to make her point.

He would try to reason with her. “Jessyka, please listen to me.”

“No, Kason. You’re wrong. I really think the best thing here, is for you AND me to go back to the casino AND for Cookie and Fiona to come with us. Then we have four sets of eyes all watching each other’s backs.”

That would leave the kids vulnerable and his aunts. “What about the kids?” He threw at her, and he saw her shoulders deflate.

“The kids…” her voice trailed off. John Walker was around, but he was just one man. No, she didn’t know him, not well enough to trust him with her kids’ lives.

There was a sudden knock at the door interrupting her thoughts. Benny was smiling. He was thinking he had won. But when he opened the door his face fell. They both were shocked to see not one, but two very large men standing in the open doorway. One was Cookie, who wore a grim expression, but behind him was another familiar and friendlier face. It was Tex Keegan, their good friend from Pennsylvania. The guy who had all their backs.

“What the hell?” Benny let the expletive slip before being pulled from the room by Tex into a massive manly bear hug.

“Drove all day. Is that the way to a great a friend?”

“No, but what the heck are you doing here?” Benny smiled as he pulled out of Tex’s reach.

“Well, when I told the wife what was going on, she kicked my ass out of bed this morning.
