Thirteen

Elizabeth parked in a different lot the next day at the courthouse. It wasn’t as convenient, but she couldn’t bring herself to park in the same one where the men had threatened her. Talon had tried to convince her that she should let him drop her off at the front door and come pick her up when she was finished for the day, but she needed to be independent. She’d lied just a bit by telling him she’d be working in her office most of the day.

Now looking over her shoulder every two minutes, she wished she’d taken him up on his offer. Shaking herself mentally, Elizabeth pushed her emotions to the side and focused her energy into being prepared for that day in court. By the time she greeted her client, she felt better prepared to face the day’s challenges.

Walking from the first case to hurry to her second, she took another glance when something caught her eye in a darkened doorway. Had that been a motorcycle vest? Talon wasn’t checking up on her, was he?

Elizabeth stepped into the next side passageway and called him. She listened carefully to see if anyone’s phone rang around her but didn’t hear anything.

“Is everything okay, Buttercup?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at the compound, working on a repair. Do you need me?” he asked.

“You didn’t send any Guardians to spy on me, did you?”

“I don’t like that tone or your implication I would do anything behind your back, but I’ll answer your question. No. I didn’t send anyone to watch over you. Do you see one of the Shadowridge Guardians at your office?”

“I’m at the courthouse now.”

“Hmmm,” he hummed. “And you’re seeing one of our guys there?”

“Well, no. I thought I saw a leather motorcycle vest here in one of the side hallways, but I must be mistaken.”

“There aren’t any Shadowridge Guardians at the courthouse as far as I know. Did you recognize our logo?” he asked.

She loved that he didn’t discount what she was still sure she had seen. He just asked questions to gather information. “I didn’t see the back. I really didn’t see much. Something caught my eye and I jumped to the conclusion that you’d sent someone to watch over me.”

“I wouldn’t hide that if I had. I’d be right by your side. Let me check to see if any of our regular guys are missing from the shop and I’ll text you if I find out anyone was there for a personal reason. Do you want to me to come make sure everything is okay?”

“No, of course not. I must still be jumpy from last night,” she admitted.

“Not working in your office today?”

“I’ve been here all morning. Sorry. I didn’t want you to worry.”

“We’ll deal with your lie later. Right now, I want you to be safe. When you’re close to wrapping up for the day, send me a text. I’ll meet you at the front door and escort you to your car,” he instructed.

“You don’t have to do that,” she protested, hoping he wouldn’t allow her to change his mind.
