Sully looked up from Jenny as Dave thumped up the back steps and through the back door. Jenny startled, her tea sloshing in her mug, and Sully covered her friend’s hands as they cupped the ceramic mug on the table.

Dave’s large frame seemed to darken the kitchen, until he stepped farther into the room. His navy T-shirt sported a damp V-patch on the front, and perspiration dripped down the sides of his face and neck. He’d run hard.

He walked over to her friend and put his hand on her shoulder, bending low to meet her gaze.

“Are you okay?” he asked Jenny quietly. If it had been appropriate, Sully would have stood and hugged him. His tone was low, so gentle, with just the right amount of concern that was heartwarming, but still strong enough that Jenny wouldn’t break down into tears—which seemed likely. Sully could feel her friend trembling, and she so wanted to take some of that fear, that residual terror from her. For the first time, she wished she could still use her powers with the nulls.

Jenny nodded, her eyes wide. “Yeah,” she said, her voice hoarse.

Dave reached for a high-backed chair at the end of the table, swung it around on a leg and straddled it, his muscled forearms folded across the top as he looked directly at Jenny.

“Mind telling me what happened?” he asked in a mild voice.

Jenny nodded. She opened her mouth, then blinked. She frowned. “I don’t—I don’t know,” she said, then looked uncertainly at Dave, then at Sully.

Sully reached for her shoulder. “It’s okay, Jen. Take your time.”

Jenny shook her head, her expression becoming distraught. “I—I don’t know,” she said, her voice rising in pitch. “I remember...” Her gaze drifted to Dave. “You,” she breathed. “You, breaking through my door...”

Sully glanced over at the kitchen door. The section of the door where the doorknob was located was rough and splintered, and there was a long crack down the middle panel. From the moment they’d heard Jenny’s scream from the front door, Dave had become a force of energy, barreling through the house, and not slowing down for something as trivial as a door. She had entered the kitchen only to see him race through the back door.

For a big guy, he could move like lightning.

And Jenny had been on the floor, shaken and trembling. Sully had made a quick call to Tyler Clinton, and then to Jacob, and then had tended to her friend.

Now, with a cup of tea in her hands, Jenny was beginning to calm, although her cheeks were tear-streaked, and her knuckles were white as she clasped the ceramic mug.

Dave nodded. “Yes, we heard you screaming,” he told her. “What can you tell us about the man, Jenny?”

Jenny’s hand went to her neck. “My throat is sore.”

Sully nodded, smoothing her hand across her friend’s back. “You were screaming, Jen.”

“The man?” Dave prompted.

Jenny frowned, her gaze caught by a bruise on her wrist, and she turned her hand over to see how far it extended.
