Jordan’s Second Chance 5.1
“I’m
not sure if this is a good idea. Whoever is in that car could see us coming,”
Jordan muttered, slowly creeping toward the dark-colored sedan.
“We
want to catch this bastard by surprise, that’s why we decided to wait until
dark and pretended we were leaving,” Jonas replied.
“Since it’s your plan, you’re going back for
the car.”
Jonas
snorted. “Quit being a sourpuss, Wynter won’t stay mad at you forever.”
“That’s
easy for you to say, you weren’t the one dodging shoe missiles,” Jordan growled,
remembering the shock he’d felt when Wynter had thrown the first shoe when
Jordan had forbidden him to come with them. Wynter had been livid when he
learned he wasn’t going to be a part of their little reconnaissance team. Jordan
hoped this time apart helped Wynter calm down. He had no desire to dodge shoes
for the rest of the night.
“What
the hell? It’s empty,” Jonas muttered peering into the car.
Jordan
shook his head, he needed to get his head back in the game. “Shit, do you think
he saw us coming and abandoned the car?” Jordan asked.
Jonas
shook his head. “It’s possible, but I don’t think so,” Jonas replied, reaching
for the door handle.
“Wait!
What are you doing? What if there’s an alarm?” Jordan tried to keep his voice
low. What was Jonas thinking?
Jonas
just grinned over the hood of the car at him and opened the passenger door.
Jordan rolled his eyes and opened the driver’s side door in time to see Jonas
pick up a stack of what looked to be photos.
“What
the hell is this?” Jordan asked, catching a glimpse of one photo. The photo was
of him and Wynter, taken on the day they first met at the park.
“Whoever
this is, they’ve been watching you for a while.”
Jonas handed over
the other pictures. The majority of the pictures were of Jordan, but a couple
of the shots were of Wynter and his son Lucas. “Do you think it was Jason Fox?”
Jordan asked, referring to the man who was responsible for Wynter’s parents’
deaths.
“That’s who I’m
leaning toward, but we still have the mystery woman out there. We still don’t
know her identity,” Jonas said, searching the dashboard and pulling up the arm
rest, both compartments were empty.
“Damn it! This is
like a bad crime drama. Who the hell seriously has two completely different
people trying to kill them?”
Jonas arched an
eyebrow and shot a pointed look at Jordan. Chuckling, Jordan shook his head and
got out of the car. “Let’s head back.”

Jordan cautiously
stepped through the front door, keeping an eye out for any flying tennis shoes.
He started to breathe a sigh of relief, until he spotted Wynter standing in the
family room, his arms crossed over his chest and foot tapping impatiently.
“Hey babe, what’s
up?” Jordan asked, hoping in vain that the small man wasn’t still in a snit.
“Don’t, ‘hey babe’
me! I can’t believe you actually left me here like I’m a child!”
“I’m going to
check on Nana,” Jonas said, heading toward the kitchen.
Jordan nodded and
turned his attention back toward Wynter. “You’re safe here Wynter. Someone is
trying to kill you, there is no way I’m going to put your life in danger.”
“You’re in just as
much danger as I am. Jordan, I won’t…” Wynter trailed off, his face paling.
Jordan spun
around, searching. The sudden fear emanating from Wynter triggering his
protective instincts. Jordan’s jaw dropped in shock when he spotted the slender
red-headed woman standing in the front door with a gun in her hand.
“It can’t be,”
Jordan whispered. He knew this woman.
“You have only two
choices here. Choose wisely.”
