“I think she’s my new best friend,” Avery said.
It made perfect sense why he had decided not to bring people into the kids’ lives. Avery got attached so quickly. He had thought this would be easier since he had no intention of getting into a relationship with anyone. But Avery could bond with a complete stranger in five seconds flat, and Kelly wasn’t a girlfriend. She wasn’t even a friend. She was a job assignment.
“Who was that? Why did you offer to check her apartment? Why are you going to see her tomorrow?” Graham asked. Donovan was surprised he was curious enough to say something.
“That’s my boss’s niece. She works at a radio station and someone was...being mean to her. I have to help keep her safe until we can find that person.”
“Why would someone be mean to Kelly?” Avery asked. “She’s so nice.”
“It’s hard to explain, sweetie.”
“Is someone trying to kill her?” Graham asked.
“Someone is going to kill her?” Avery screeched and then burst into tears.
“Are you serious right now?” he said to Graham. Donovan was ready to tape the kid’s mouth shut. Did he not understand how saying something like that could scare his sister? He tried to console Avery. “No one is going to kill Kelly. She’s totally safe.”
His phone chimed with a text. Don’t leave! was all it said.
Adrenaline flooded Donovan’s body. He hoped he hadn’t told Avery another lie.
