"Sure thing and you call if you need anything Maddox is just a few floors up, so if you get freaked or anything, just call him I know he comes across all broody and moody, but he’s one of the best to have by your side"

I can tell she isn’t in the oodbye, I shake Ash awake, and we head out Even though I didn’t live here that long, it’s still hard to leave the one place that I’ve thought of as rabbing my phone to call Beck before I head home

Home

My home with Beck

As in, ot the biggest smile on er seat and leans his head against theStill silent

"Hey," He growls into the phone

I shiver when I hear his voice There really is no way to describe how thatthe apart to stop by the store before I head houred I would make that stuffed chicken that you love so s to pick up anyway Is there anything you want rab?"

"No, Wildcat All I need is you"

"Is Maddox still over?"

"Actually, we’re not there He neededon the computers at the office, so I ran down here real quick I should be right behind you after I finish with all of this" He sounds so stressed With everything he’s been dealing with, I’ Coop, but now, E who the hell attackedsince I shot Adam For all we know, that asshole is done with us, but Beck won’t let it go

"Emmy?" I ask, because really there isn’t any need to say anything else He knows I’ to worry about her That’s why he didn’t want me to know

"Yeah, E to her letter, she’s not co to stay with a friend or soet hoain Hoood

"Pro on, or I’ll never stop worrying about her"

"I know I didn’t mean to keep it from you earlier I just worry about you, Dee You can’t bla around, I just need to protect you I can’t explain it any better than that I need to protect you, even if it’s from your own mind"

How can I be upset when he puts it like that?

"I understand, I do, but I’ to s start to get too much, I promise to let you know"

"Yeah, you sure are Fuck, I’m so proud of you" I can hear the smile in his voice, and it ht it would feel so good to letloved by John Beckett is the best feeling in the world

We finish up our call, and I pull out of the parking garage With a set home and into my man’s arms
