"I swear, Jagger, I could never do that to her"

I nodded and fell back onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling fan "I need to find the person doing this, they need to stop This is killing Grey"

"I would help you if I could, but I don’t knoho it is I honestly thought ed breath, got off the bed, and walked over to Charlie Holding a hand out, I helped her up and pulled her intoyou--this isme crazy and I just freaked when I remeainst my chest

Kissing the top of Charlie’s head quickly, I backed away froure out who this is I’? What just happened?"

"Whoever this is isn’t done And they need to be stopped I have to go" Turning around, I left her room and walked quickly down the hall and into Keith’s roo his closet and the kitchen pantry, I walked toward the front door and didn’t even look atdiapers and food the next day As soon as I was out of the house and in my car, I pulled up Grey’s name to call her as I flipped my car around and tore off down the street

"Hey!" she answered on the first ring "Where are you?"

"I’m fine, I just--did you find out who it is?"

I blew out a slow breath and shook uilt filled me "No, I didn’t"

"No," she said slowly, drawing out the hen she noticed er tone "Why did you ask like that? Should I be expecting so?"

"No," I assured her "No, I just needed to know I’m only a couple minutes away, I’ll see you soon"
