“Is Raven hoans’ Shouldn’t she have found her own place by now?

“She’s putting the baby to bed Can I take a et her to call you back as soon as she can,” she promised

Baby? What baby?

“Um…no I-I’ll just call her back” Before the other woman could say another word I disconnected and let the hand holding the phone drop to my side

Had Raven had a baby? Was my best friend a mother now?

“It’s not safe out here, Flick”

I jerked at the sound of that name, spoken in that voice, and droppedbreak, but didn’t care My head snapped up in the direction his voice had come from and I saw his outline in the darkness just ten feet away My heart was in ht and the exciteain As I watched, Jet stepped forward and I had to gulp in air all of a sudden

Holy hell Was it er? Jet had never been a s as I could remember, but now those shoulders seemed twice as wide Hishis shirt to look distressed, as if it would rip if he breathed the wrong way

“I’m not alone,” I reth I knew I needed when dealing with this man Drea where Jet was concerned “I’m with you”

He shook his head,his blond hair fall across his forehead “What if I’d been the fucker who is terrorizing your boss? Huh? Whoever it is isn’t below shooting someone, Flick Do you want to be her next victim?”
