Enzo (Jinx Tattoos 1) - Page 68
“One minute, I’m inside the gallery talking about a show, and the next thing I know a deafening sound goes off and I’m thrown to the ground with glass flying everywhere.”
He came to her beside and took her hand.
“Are we done here, Officer Miles?” she asked.
“Yes, ma’am. You have my card if you remember anything more. It’s a damn shame that these terrorist incidents are becoming an almost regular occurrence. We’ll be sending out investigators and once we’re done, you can have your insurance people come in. I’m sorry this happened to you.”
“Me too, sir,” she whispered.
Officer Miles walked to the doorway and paused. “You might want to think about who you’re keeping company with. You’re a sweet girl, and I don’t want to see you again, anytime soon.”
“I’ll keep that in mind,” she replied.
He tipped his hat and continued out the door.
“What the hell happened, Ave?” Enzo whispered.
“I don’t know. One minute we’re talking to Keir and the next, I swear I was smack dab in the middle of Backdraft.”
“I just got you, girl. I’m not trying to lose you so soon. I’m going to break that Irishman’s neck.”
“Not if I shoot the fucker first,” she seethed.
“You’re so hot when you get murderous,” Enzo teased, brushing his lips over hers.
“Where’s Aoife?”
“With her Uncle Snake,” he replied with a laugh.
“Who would’ve thought they’d take to each other so well?”
“I don’t know, but I think we should make him her damn godfather. Given the way shit is going, its protection she may need.”
“Aye,” she said, dropping her gaze.
“Don’t you fucking do that. I know you’re blaming yourself. It’s not your fault.”
“How can it not be?”
“You’re not responsible for the choices your parents made. You didn’t choose to join the Army.”
“But it doesn’t change the fact that I bring danger—”
“Hey, living is dangerous. Don’t pull away from us now.?
?
She sighed.
“Can I come in?”
“Motherfucker.” Enzo grabbed Keir around the neck and slammed him against the door. “Do you have a fucking death wish?”
“I want to explain,” he rasped.
Enzo increased his grip, confident the boys outside the room would keep anyone from investigating.
Keir’s eyes bulged and he brought his hands up to claw at Enzo’s hands.
