Chapter 0064 “What do you see, Ice?” Colt asked. “The bullet that shot Alec cthrough the car and it was a different gun. The hole is bigger. Almost like they tried to kill Alec to takeeasier. Alec and I could have easily handled three rogues. Almost like this was a plan B. It wasn’t well thought out. They could have attackedin the shop and gotten a better outcome.” I made my way to the windshield and had a flashback of my b*dy going through it. “Look at the angle, the gun that shot Alec was on a roof. I bet they knew he would get on top of me, so he was an easy shot. The drive by was to get him in place.” The whole thing madesick to my stomach. Why would anyone want me? There is literally nothing. special about me. I don’t shoot fire out of my hands or lasers out of my eyes. I can’t fly or freeze water. I ami just a highly intelligent person. I “Then I guess we are lucky they only took one shot.” Marc folded his arms. Colt’s phone started ringing. He stepped away to take it. “He could have shotwhen we walked out.” Alec muttered. “Those windows are tinted so you can’t see inside. I bet he wasn’t ready and that was his only option.” My
eyes went back to the hood. There was smear marks in blood. “Kristen.” Colt’s tone of voice plus the use of my full nhadworried. “What’s wrong?” I asked glancing at Alec. He had an unreadable expression. “It’s…it’s the shop. Someone broke in and trashed it. Cops are there now.” My jaw dropped as tears threatened to fall. My heart literally shattered as it sank in. “Kristen?” “Takethere.” Taking a deep breath, I kept my head high.
Colt looked worriedly at Alec. “Maybe it’s best if-” “If you don’t finish that statement and you either driveor I will drive myself.” I said firmly. Colt sighed. “Let’s go.” Alec instantly started following Colt. This wasn’t going to break me. I kept repeating that. The entire way to the store, I kept to myself and stayed strong. Alec tried to hold my hand but I pushed him away. Not that I didn’t want his comfort but if anyone touched me, I’d lose my composure. When we got there, cops had surrounded it. It was marked off with yellow caution tape. “This is a bad idea.” Alec muttered to Colt. “I know. She’s barely holding herself together and yes the threat on her life.” I heard them but I didn’t. Walking up, the police tried to stop me. “No passing this point!” “That’s my business! I own that!” I could feel my anger growing. “Please cin. Be careful.” “They are with me.” I said getting Alec and Colt to cin. As I walked up to the store, broken glass littered the sidewalk. There was blood on the sideway. Standing on top of it. I calculated the angle of the shot. “Colt, the shooter was on that building.” I looked over to the middle sized one. “You sure?” “You doubt me?” I asked. “No.” “What’s up?” Alec asked as he walked up to us. “Shooter was from that building “Colt whispered very low that a human wouldn’t hear. “She figure that out?” “Yes.” Colt replied. Again, I ignored them as I made my way inside. Everything was broken. My chair, the 360 mirror. Floor had holes, sterilization was in pieces. Ink splattered on the walls. My portfobook was ripped to
shreds. Alec and Colt walked as I was looking at two half’s of a full leg I did last year. Letting it fall, I just felt empty. This was my pride and joy. My baby. This was givingmy future. “Kristen Jeffreys?” A detective asked. “Yes.” “I have a few questions. When were you here last?” “Yesterday afternoon.” I was looking at the link on the wall. It started to not look so random.
