Chapter Seventeen

 

 

Every bit of euphoria Emma had been feeling evaporated in an instant. Had she actually forgotten why she was with J.T. in the first place?

Her dad and J.T. went into super-agent mode the instant her dad was informed about J.T.’s car.

His car, because of her.

Why?

It wasn’t right that someone thought they had the right to make someone else feel this way. To decide who and what someone else could do.

To terrify someone this way and try to control them.

Why?

She tried to stay out of the way. To let the people who knew what they were doing work. Her dad had called in a few favors, and Ed Dennis, boss of the entire PAVAD division of the FBI, showed up fifteen minutes later. With half a dozen of the people her dad worked with. Paige and her fiancé Mick were there, Josh had rejoined them, and some of J.T.’s teammates.

They were there, to help her.

That mattered. A lot.

It made it hurt a little less.
