Kailee, where it could smash safely against the wall if it missed the intended target. In addition, it also forced Jack to move away from his mate, so that Jet could ensure her safety.
Before Jack could recover, Jet was on him, his strong arms pinning him to the ground as he planted a knee in his back. He pulled the gun out from its holster and slid it across the room, away from everyone.
“I’m going to kill you, you little shit!” Jack was screaming, frothing at the mouth in his rage.
The intensity of it caught Jet off-guard, but he didn’t relax his hold. Jack continued to yell and shout, his words making less and less sense.
“What the hell Jet?” Kailee came running towards him, intent on rescuing her father.
“Not now,” he growled at her, loud enough to cut through her mild hysteria. She stopped midstride, blinking in surprise.
Grabbing Jack’s wrists in one massive hand, he wrapped the other around his neck and hauled him to his feet. They proceeded outdoors, where Jet was determined to get everything out into the open amongst the three of them.
Part of him was scared of what he might learn about Kailee and her motives for moving to the Bluff’s. He desperately wanted to trust her, to believe that she had simply picked it at random, or that perhaps she had been pushed at her father’s urging. It would make any decisions he had to make easier, but deep in the pit of his stomach, he had a sneaking suspicion that she knew more than she was letting on.
“Jet, what the hell is going on? Let go of my father!” They were outside now, and he had Jack up against her truck.
“Go on, tell her everything boy."
“My name is Jet,” he growled, cutting the older man off as he pushed him farther into the side of the truck. His bear was angry that Jack had threatened his mate by bringing a gun into his business. It was a struggle not to give in and give him a beating. After all the torment Jet had received at his hands years ago, it only seemed fair. It wasn’t something he was prepared to do in front of Kailee, however, so he shunted the anger aside for the time being.
“Let go of my father!” Kailee screamed at him again, lunging into his side. She was a big bear shifter woman and when she put her strength into it, it was considerable. He lost his balance, releasing his hold on Jack so that he could steady himself.
It was at that moment that Jack pulled a knife from a hidden sheath and whirled, slashing wildly. He barely missed Kailee, who shrieked and scrambled back out of range. Jet watched, his eyes focused intently as the old hitman stalked towards him. His bear roared with anger at the danger to his mate, demanding retribution.
The crazed look in his eye spoke to some sort of malady. He was very clearly not the same man Jet had known. Something had happened to him, something that had made him fixate on Jet to the point that he would do anything to try and harm him. The conflict needed to end, and swiftly.
With a wild cry, Jack overextended himself on a lunge, leaving himself off balance. Jet’s elbow came down solidly on the outstretched arm, numbing the grip so that the knife fell to the ground with a clatter. He then grabbed Jack and threw him across the parking lot until he landed roughly on the grass and slid up against a tree. Jet began to walk towards him, but Kailee recovered from her shock and grabbed his arm, yanking him to a stop.

“Jet, listen to me. You have to tell me what’s going on, why are you attacking my father? Why is he so desperate to kill you?”
“You know exactly why,” he rumbled in response, before breaking her grip and continuing to advance upon her father, who was beginning to stir.
Kailee’s temper flared at the dismissal by the man she had thought she was coming to care for. Not one to let such an insult pass, she increased the length of her strides until she got ahead of Jet, placing herself between him and his target. She had to walk
