The unknown number calling Minna's phone was enough to scare her off the couch. Jeremy looked up as she frantically declined.

"Who...?"

Minna grasped at the couch as she tried to remember how to breathe.

"He... how did he get my number?"

Jeremy took her phone and stared at the number. "Tetsuji Moriyama?"

Minna sat on the ground, burying her face in her hands. "I never should've called Jean. I should've known he would get it from him. Stupid, stupid, Minna."

Jeremy put his hands on her cheeks. "Minna, look at me." She did. "This is not on you. You are free now." He brushed her tattoo. "He can't get you anymore, not without crossing Kengo."

Minna clutched his hands. Her breathing steadied, her eyes shut, and she let go of the fear. "Thank you."

Jeremy hugged her. "Don't worry, Minna. I'll always be there for you."

She nodded and folded herself against his side.

Thank god for Jeremy Knox.

Also extremely short, but I guess it adds up enough? I'm running low on inspiration.
