Guardians of the Heart

8. These Are Dangerous Times

  That next Tuesday, I sat in the floor with Shep pushing the trucks around while Thomas was in Jared’s room as he got ready for a day of filming.

                I glanced up when Genevieve came to the door.

                Genevieve glared down at me when Jared came to the door, “I will be working late, and I won't be home until midnight.”

                Jared glanced down at me as I was still pushing the trucks around with Shep, “I will see you when you get home.”

                Genevieve nodded her head then left Jared standing at the door.

                I finally glanced up when the door slammed shut.

                Jared glanced down at me, “You ok with working late?”

                “Sounds good to me,” I looked back at him as Shep tossed the truck across the room.

                Jared nodded his head as he vanished from the door.

                Thomas ran over to me wrapping his arms around my neck, “Jordana, maybe we should get some food?”

                I grabbed his legs flipping him over, “I think that is an amazing idea little person.”

               

                I walked down into the kitchen behind Thomas when I saw Jensen standing in the kitchen looking up over a cup of coffee.

                “What are you doing here?”

                Jensen nodded his head to the side toward the living room.

                I looked over and found Jared sitting in the living room with Cliff infront of him on the phone. I grabbed some cereal and went back up the steps as Jensen picked up Thomas and came up the steps after me.

                I glanced back at Jensen as I put Thomas and Shep at their play table with some food infront of them. “What is going on Jensen?”

                Jensen glanced up at me, “Boone, he was found last night infront of a hotel passed out. They don’t know what happened but he is in the hospital.”

                I narrowed my eyes back at him, “But why are you two acting like this?”

                Jensen walked over to me, “It was Stephen, they found him in a hotel room at the same hotel with Natalie, and they were both beat up pretty badly.”

                “Natalie was with Stephen?” I looked back at him.

                Jensen shook his head, “I don’t know for sure but maybe you should call her.”

                I nodded my head back at him as I walked down the hallway grabbing my phone.

                I looked out the window with my phone to my ear as it rung.

                “Please pick up your phone.”

                There was nothing as it went to voicemail.

                I called her again when finally someone picked up.

                “I figured you would call me.”
