Chapter Eight

“Don’t fuckin’ touch her,” Theo growled, holding Fred tight with their faces less than two inches apart.

“Who, ah…who...what the…”Fred’s blue eyes stretched wide as he babbled and stared at the massive male who made him look like a ragdoll.

Riley would have laughed at the view if the situation wasn’t so serious. She’d never seen Theo angry before this moment and he looked like he could easily snap Fred’s body in half. Fred was an asshole, but she didn’t want to see him dead. “Theo, he’s not worth it. Just let him go.”

“You heard her. You heard her,” Fred croaked as his hands grappled Theo’s thick wrist, attempting to loosen himself. “I’ll stay away from her…just let me go.”

All was silent as Theo held Fred a moment longer before releasing him. Fred crumbled to the ground, coughing and choking in air as he rubbed his throat. “What are you, some kind of steroid addict?”

“Just go away, Fred. Please.” Riley sighed.

“You’re not welcome in Den County. Get the hell out,” Theo told him.

“Fine. Fine. I’ll go.” Fred scrambled to his feet. “You can have Riley’s ass. I just want my stuff.”

“You’re a liar. I don’t have anything of yours, Fred.” Riley stared at her ex trying to determine what angle he was playing.

“Do you have something that belongs to this asshole?” Theo gazed down at her.

“No. It has been over for a long time. I only took the things that were mine when I left. Hell, I left him all the furniture that I paid for.”

Fred took a step toward him, but then he heard the deep rumble come from Theo’s chest and stepped back. Swallowing, Fred said, “I need that sculpture.”

Confused, she tilted her head and assessed him. Fred wasn’t the type of guy to collect artwork. All the paintings and decorations in their place she had bought and left with him. “What sculpture?”

“That ugly animal with all the paint splatters.”

Ugly animal? How did I ever date such an idiot? She shook her head. Her class had seen the small wooden coin with a bear face carved, and thought she collected bears or liked them. Because the kids didn’t know the story surrounding it, only that it was a gift from her childhood. “First of all it is a bear and not ugly. The paint is not splatters, my class painted if for me—eleven three year olds.”

“Whatever. It’s not like it is worth anything.” He shoved his fist deep into his pants pockets.

“To me it is. I’m not giving it to you.” Finished discussing the matter, Riley turned to leave as she tossed over her shoulder, “Go home.”

“Riley! Look…look…” Fred hustled around so that he was once again in front of her.

She noticed that the crowd around her was getting really thick. She was sure that every person in town was standing somewhere around her and Fred making a wide circle. She hated to be the center of attention, especially in a situation like this, these people didn’t know her. Her mind ran with various possible thoughts the crowd could have about what they were seeing.
