backwards, for he did not stop.
“Don’t you ever , do that to me again,” she roared, her eyes narrowed as she glared at him. With all the strength she could muster, Kailee lowered her shoulder and drove it into Jet’s midsection.
He let out a noise and stopped. It angered her that he was so much stronger than her, that the best she could do was to cause him a bit of discomfort and slow him down. Still, it had worked and for the moment he was no longer focused on her father. Perhaps she could get him to explain some of what was going on now.
“Jet, I have no idea what you are talking about. All I know is as soon as you saw my father, you threw him out of the bar and then across the parking lot. Please, please make some sense now.”
He paused, considering her words as he focused on her. She stared up at him, desperation evident on her face, trying to get him to see the truth of it. Kailee hated violence and was terrified of what had just played out in front of her. None of it made any sense to her.
“I’ll explain everything in a moment. First, I have to make sure that you are out of danger.”
He moved around her then, swifter than she thought he could be. In the blink of an eye, he was upon her father, hoisting him up by the collar of his shirt and a good bit of skin. Jack cried out in pain as Jet gave him a not-so-gentle shake.
“Get the hell out of here, and don’t let me ever see you again. I’m done with that life, with the past, and with you. I’ve started a new life here, and if I see you or any others, I won’t be so gentle next time.”
He opened his fist and Jack fell into a heap on the ground at his feet. Jet backed up and she watched as he let her father go. Jack got up, giving Jet a very odd look before turning and running to his car, shouting obscenities as he went. She couldn’t understand much of it, but she picked up something about stolen money and a mission of her fathers. Then, with the squealing of rubber on pavement, he was gone in a cloud of smoke.
“I’m sorry you had to witness that,” Jet said as the car faded into the distance.
“You still haven’t told me why,” she replied, still shaken at the entire events.
“I want to show you something.” He grabbed her hand, gently this time, and pulled her after him as he walked back towards where her truck was parked at the side of the building.
“Do you see these?” he said, putting a finger into a hole on the wall, then removing it and poking it into another.
“Yes, but?” She started to say, but he cut her off before she could go any further.
“Those are bullet holes. They were not there at this time yesterday.”
She gasped in surprise. Somebody had tried to shoot at Jet! A sinking sensation in her stomach told her she knew who it had been before she even asked herself the question. The image of a gun sliding across the floor of the Quencher was still fresh in her mind.
“Jack…” she whispered, using his name instead of calling him her father. At that moment, she felt sick to her stomach at the notion Jack may have tried to kill the man she thought might someday be her mate.
“I wasn’t completely sure until he walked in earlier. The shots were fired from over there,” he said pointing across the street at a small copse of trees with enough room under them for Jack’s small sportscar.
“When my bear smelled him, however, I knew for certain that it was him. I couldn’t let him endanger you because I don’t know what I would have done if he had hurt you. It’s my job to protect you and I don’t like to fail.”
She was appreciative of his desire to keep her safe, but that still did not lend any coherence to the set of events. Kailee could read the clues and she wasn’t an idiot, it was clear her father had shot at Jet last night and tried again today to kill him. What she didn’t understand, as she now told Jet, was what had prompted him to do so?
