Everything Has Changed

Nine

As I was about to walk away, the bitch grabbed my arm. I turned around and locked eyes with her. "Look man, I don't know who you think you are or who you think I am. But if you do not let go, you will wish you had when I gave you the chance." I said in a low voice. Was I serious? Very much so. I did some terrible things back in Canada that would make the average person's skin crawl.

No one touches me. But after I gave her the warning, she tightened her grip. I sighed I don't want to hurt her but I'll do what I must to get this psycho to leave me alone. I turned and flipped her over my head making her back face me. I knelt down and put her in a deadly headlock. One move and she could be dead. "I could kill you right here right now. Listen to me and listen good, you come near me again and threaten me, I won't let you go. You won't see light ever again. Understand?" I spoke low and into her ear.

I let her go ad grabbed my stuff. Calming myself down, I went to find a bathroom to wash off my face. "Flight 256 departing in five minutes." Called a lady over the intercom. Well, looks like I'm not washing my face. I walked to the plane and put my duffle bag in the cubby above me then sat down and put my earbuds in once again.

It took six hours to get to the airport in Nevada. But I was so glad when it landed. I hate plane rides always have ever since I was little. What? Everyone's scared of something. I got my duffle down and walked out of the plain and into the airport lobby. I was walking to the door when I saw a familiar face holding a sign with my name. Which is odd because I was going to get a rental car and drive myself to the hotel.

I walked up to them and my heart rate sped up. "Hi, I'm Rob-" I cut him off. "Benedict I know. Claire Snow. I can't believe I'm meeting you right now!" I said letting the fangirl out of me. He just smiled and waited for me to be done. "Jensen speaks highly of you but his description matches perfectly. When he said drop dead gorgeous I thought he was messing with me." He said and I felt my cheeks heat up. 

"Thank you." I said and he smiled. "Well, I'm here to take you to the hotel where you will get situated then head down to the auditorium." He said leading me out of the airport lobby. "Okay, sounds like a plan. Do you mind lending me a acoustic? I was in such a rush this morning I forgot it." I said mentally cussing myself out for doing so. 

"Of course! I'm sure we can get ya something!" He said as we walked up to a black SUV with a popped trunk. "Here let me take that for ya." Rob said and took my duffle with a confused look. "Is this it?" He asked and I giggled. "Yeah, if you travel light, it costs less." I said and he nodded in understanding. He closed the trunk and opened my door for me. "Oh, thanks!" I said with a smile. 

He rounded the SUV and got in. "So what's bothering you?" He asked and I raised an eyebrow. What the hell is he talking about? Nothing's wrong. I'm fine. "Nothing. I'm fine, why?" I asked and he held up his hands in a surrender. "You just look tense." He said turning on the car when I remembered that psychopath from the airport in Texas. "Well I mean some psychopath with red hair talked to me." I said as he took a turn and started down the highway.

"Oh, what did they say to you?" He asked and I shrugged. "Just to stay away from Jensen-" I started and he slammed on the breaks in the middle of the highway. "Rob! What the hell! We're in the middle of a fucking highway!" I said and he gave me a serious look. "A woman?" He asked and I nodded, What the hell is going on? "Why?" I asked and he started to drive again. "Call Jensen and give me the phone." He said and I shook my head. 

"No can do man." I said and he gave me a confused look. "I don't have his number." I said truthfully and he sighed. "Then grab my phone, dial his number and give me the phone." He said strictly and I did as he told me to. I pressed Jensen's name and handed Rob the phone.

*Jensen's POV*

I was running some errands with Jared when my phone started to ring. I took my phone out of my pocket and saw that Rob was calling me. "Hey Rob! How's it goin'?" I asked and mouthed that I was going to step out of the store to Jared and he nodded. "Not well man," He started and my heart fell to my stomach. "Is Claire okay?" were the first words out of my mouth. 

"She's fine, it's about Daneel actually." He said and I sighed. Damn her why can't she leave me alone? "What happened?" I asked and there was a faint argument in the background. "Rob? What happened?" I asked getting more anxious. "Yeah Claire, what did happen?" He asked and there was a sigh.

"This Daneel I guess told me to stay away from you or I'd be sorry, whatever that means and then the bitch fucking grabbed me so I showed her that it's very disrespectful to do so and I left. End of story nobody got hurt. Not that big a deal." She said and I felt my blood start to boil. "You okay sweetheart?" I asked trying to calm myself down.

"I'm fine. I don't get why you two are making a huge deal out of nothing, I've taken worse!" She said and I instantly knew what she was talking about. "J, you need to take care of this and it needs to happen now. What if next time she doesn't just grab her? Or it happens to someone else?" He said and it had just dawned on me.

"Okay, I'll deal with it." I said with a sigh and Jared had walked out of the store done with his shopping. "Good. We're here, see you tomorrow man." Rob said and the phone was hung up. I ran a hand down my face in frustration. "What's wrong?" Jared asked me with a concerned look on his face. "Do you know where Daneel is?" I asked and from concern, his face turned to confusion.

"Downtown in the B-n-B. She told us before she left." He said and I nodded. "Good, let's go." I said walking to my truck. But Jared hadn't moved an inch. "Look man, she threatened Claire and that's where I draw the line. So let's go." I said and Jared's features instantly went from confused to pissed. "She what?" He said and I nodded. "Can we please go? I'm done dealing with her shit so I'm gonna end it now." I said and we walked to my truck, loaded up Jared's stuff and took off to the B-n-B downtown.

The kind desk lady who is a fan of my and Jared's work gave us Daneel's room number and I left Jared in the lobby taking pictures and answering questions. Room 213. Okay, this is it. I knocked and she opened the door. "We need to talk."
