He made a promise…and someone out there is about to discover what that means.
The front door hinges creaked, the faint sound traveling through the still night. Two more steps and I would’ve been inside the bathroom with the door closed because I’m an odd bird and even when home alone, I close the bathroom door.
Seconds later, and everything would’ve happened differently. Seconds later, and I’d be dead.
My brother trained me. Told me what to do if I was ever in danger. I’d thought he was paranoid, a side effect of his life in the military. Before the explosion, he left instructions.
I followed those instructions carefully, straight to his best friend’s door. A man I haven’t seen in ages. A man who didn’t show up to my brother’s funeral. An ex-SEAL I knew before his Navy days. A boy I crushed on back then, but now…it’s a different era.
My sister is missing, and I need his help to find her. There’s a chance the man who broke into my home succeeded in getting her. All my focus needs to be on finding her, but yet I’m growing closer to him. Who am I kidding? I’m crushing all over again.
When two killers find me, he’s there to protect me. I don’t know why they’re coming for me, but it doesn’t seem like they’ll stop. How much can I let him risk? And how much can I?
Someone out there wants to take everything. But some things can’t be taken.
