"Another one went missing," he said handing me the flyer.
It dated about the day before we got here. Another brown hair, brown-eyed girl. Always an out-of-towner. Usually someone with less of a family connection, who no one would question their disappearance. This time they messed up. Jane was heading home to see her parents. She just happened to stop in this sleepy town.
"Well, this explains why Trey and his little group weren't at school."
He nodded, "I did do a background check on Trey Fields. He does have a record. Minor stuff that I'm sure his lawyer got him off on."
"I'm going to run upstairs and take a run maybe this time get lost towards the woods. I saw a trail about a half-mile up the road." I said.
He shook his head in disagreement, "It will be getting dark soon Indie. Let's keep the woods for the weekend. I have seen what you run in do you think you'll be able to hide your gun?" he said eyeing me.
I scoffed and rolled my eyes, "Fine but you owe me food! And leftover Chinese food doesn't count!" I said in a demand!
Just like that Jax's laughter filled the room.
Once upstairs I left a trail of clothes to the bathroom and into the hot shower. The steam engulfed my body. I started to think about how all those girls suffered. I read the files we were given. The girls were found in torn dirty clothes. It looked they were begging for their lives right as a gun fired a single shot to the back of her head. I let the water pour down my body. When a flashback to that rainy day. The shot to the back of the head.
I heard a knock, "Food is downstairs!" Jax shouts over the water.
Snapping out of my flashback. "Okay, Jackson!"
Looking in the mirror as I rub the towel around my head. Nothing like a good shower to bring up bad memories. I turned the spyware on Dom's phone on just to listen. I kind of forgot about him the whole lost entrance was kind of a turn-off.
Although the more time I spend with him the more I feel bad about how he turns into jelly in front of me. "Dude any day now she will be dropping her panties in front of me!"
A deep voice I haven't heard "Not unless I step in."
"Trey, why would you even want her? She isn't your usual type."
"My type is weak and you say she is easy. Maybe I should try."
Jax knocked on the door asking if I was ready to eat.
I nodded just as the voices sounded muffled. "Ugh! Pocketed!" I nodded as I stepped out of my room.
As I walked into the kitchen, just as Jax scooped me a large slice of pizza. I never noticed how cute Jackson actually is. He has this smile that every guy wishes he had and those brown eyes that are almost like honey. His hair always looks like bedhead but very attractive on him and I know that it isn't bedhead but he spends a very long time on his hair. Since I've known him for so long I never really noticed how he has that boyish charm. It's not like he is much older than I am. When we became a package deal he was barely 18. The government trusts him with myself because of his amazing parents. He was able to bypass any training because he again was already ahead of the game.
"INDIE!" Jax shouted tried to get me out of my head.
"Huh?" I said in embarrassment as I shook my head.
He laughed as I glanced down at the slice of pizza.
"Sorry I zoned out a bit." I confessed.
We talked about the case, "Seems Trey has a thing for weakness." I said remembering his talk with Dom.
Jax laughed at the thought, "Ugh to be a fly on the wall when you are around these boys." he said still laughing.
I just rolled my eyes, I said "I told you I'm the bunny rabbit and they are the mountain lions." Nodding in agreement.
That's how most of the night went. Jax laughed at the thought of men thinking I'm weak. It was late I stood up tell Jax goodnight and kissed his cheek. Unlike Dom, my kiss didn't feel like venom. I didn't cause him to freeze or to turn into jelly.
Jackson gave a sly smile that I rarely see. "Goodnight Indie!"
Right then I realized Jackson David Jones forever had my heart.
