When Thane returned from speaking to the police officer, Sadie had passed out and was fast asleep on Brooke's lap. Thane crawled into the driver's seat and stared at her through the rear view mirror.
"That girl, she's been through a lot." He pointed out.
Brooke nodded, "She doesn't even have a place to spend the night, the poor thing. She says she's too scared to sleep in that house, that they may come back to get her."
"It's fine. I'll arrange for an apartment she can stay in." Thane announced, starting the car. "And tell her when she wakes up not to bother coming back here, she should just forget about it."
Brooke wanted to ask why Thane would go that far for a girl he just met, but then she felt the answer was obvious enough.
"Thank you. And, I'm sorry the date got cut short, I'll make it up to you, I promise." She said, as he drove away from the area.
"It's fine Brooke, and besides this ended up working in our favor." He pointed out.
