"Cynthia, Go home. Its not safe here after dark." Jericho simply stated.
I shook my head and pulled out my phone. Someone grabbed my phone out of my hands.
"Why not?" Jericho asked.
I just shook my head again not wanting to talk, while trying to reach for my phone.
"If you are not going to go home then go to the other side of the park and wait for me, I'll take you home later." Jericho said while giving me back my phone.
I took my phone from Jericho, when a man walked up. Jericho pushed me behind him, while facing towards the guy.
"Who is the girl, Jericho?" The guy said rather venomously.
"Just some girl." Jericho simply answered, just as venomously.
"Just some girl? You've been talking to her for a while." The guy stated.
"Yes, Dan. Just trying to get her to go away." Jericho growled out.
"Always the night in shining armor, are we? Just hurry it up, our meeting isn't going to wait for you forever." This Dan guy said.
