CHAPTER EIGHT
After eating lunch at a little Italian restaurant downtown, Paul drove Kylie back to her apartment.
“I’ll do my best to keep my cell on me at all times,” she said as she unbuckled her seatbelt. “If my phone starts tracking somewhere weird on the locator app or you don’t hear from me by midnight, then just assume the worst has happened and call the cops.”
“No one at work knows that I’m back in town yet,” Paul said, “only that I left the conference because of a family emergency. I can stay at home for the next few days just watching that locater app if I need to.” He smiled wryly. “Heck, if I have to go out, it’s not as though anyone will look askance at me for staring at my phone screen overly long.”
Kylie chuckled and reached for the door handle. She paused.
“Are you sure we’re doing the right thing?” she asked, looking back at him a little anxiously.
“Sure? Absolutely not,” Paul said seriously, “but given how you suddenly shifting after all this time has thrown pretty much everyone who knows for a loop, I do think this is the best course for now. I’ll talk to Karen again this evening and see if anything new has come up regarding the Sniffers along the cougar grapevine.”
He reached over and squeezed her shoulder affectionately. “Just keep your chin up and your eyes sharp as always. This may indeed turn out to be a good thing for you.”
“I hope so,” Kylie replied grimly.
“Once things settle down, we’ll talk more about the other.”
“Other?”
Paul’s eyes flashed momentarily with anger. “The bastard that gave you that knot on your head.”
Kylie flinched. After initially telling him about her attack and abduction in the vaguest of terms, she had been trying her damndest not to think about it at all. Although shifters healed three times as fast as regular humans, the large bump on her forehead was still very much visible. She only hoped it would disappear before she went back to class.
Her mouth twisted. If the jaguars even allowed her go back to class.
“Okay,” she agreed, not quite able to hide the reluctance in her voice.
She hurried out of the car before her composure crumbled, waving her goodbye as Paul pulled away. Then nervously, she glanced around the lot. Although she had been watching all the cars tailing them down the freeways and streets through the side mirror, Kylie hadn’t figured out which vehicle was Hunter’s. She had also not seen any vehicles pull into the parking lot after them.
He probably just parked down the street, Kylie reasoned as she turned to head towards her apartment.
For all she knew, Hunter could already be waiting for her inside. She frowned as it occurred to her that he might have left her apartment unlocked when he had left to follow Paul and her.
Just as she reached her unit and was about to reach for the doorknob, Kylie suddenly felt a shiver go down her spine. She
