““It was pretty clear from the conversation we overheard that one way or another I’d be dead.” Something smashed to the ground. Jack looked at me, all the mugs forgotten. “I’m not going to let anyone kill you.” He grinned. “If I don’t get to, no one should.” “I’m touched.” But I couldn’t help smiling back at him.””
