Reaching out, she grabs the light on the nightstand and holds it above her head.

“Why aren’t you listening to me?” she screams. “I can’t do this. It hurts too much.”

Spinning around, she launches the lamp at Mav, although with her lacking strength, it falls short, allowing him to catch it easily.

Kristie plummets to the floor. Reaching for a shard of glass, she moves it toward her wrist.

Seeing the move, JD darts forward, stopping her from making contact with her skin.

“Stop her. She’s going to hurt herself,” Alana begs.

“We’re not going to let that happen, Pet.”

Kristie loses all her fight and collapses into JD’s arms, just as Mav’s cell starts ringing.

“You need to help her,” Alana begs, desperately trying to break free of my arms. “Reid, please.”

She looks at me and my heart stops at the sight of her bright red cheek. Her tears glisten in the light, making it hard to breathe.

“It’s okay, Pet. We’re going to help her.”

She searches my eyes, looking for any clue that I might be lying. But she won’t find anything.

We’re going to get through this.

Somehow.

“And you’re sure,” Mav barks, his tone dragging me from thoughts of a future with our girl.

I frown, staring at him with interest.

‘Speaker,’ I mouth.

“Hang on, I’m putting you on speaker.”

Pulling his cell from his ear, he taps the screen.

“Can you explain that again? Reid and JD are here.”

“Fucking hell, man. I still can’t get my head around that,” a vaguely familiar voice mutters.

“Cut to the chase, Brody,” Mav growls, quickly losing patience.

“Brody?” I bark. “As in Officer Norton?”

“Yeah, that’s the one,” he says before adding, “I think I might have a location for you.”

Both JD and I move closer to the phone as if Brody is going to start whispering all of a sudden.

“We did a bust on an apartment building this evening. I saw someone looking… suspicious going into another apartment.”

“Kurt?” JD asks, as pissed off as I am with his cryptic bullshit.

“Yes.”

“Oh my God,” Alana whimpers as Kristie screams again.

“I-is everything okay there?” Brody asks.
