Chapter 0064 “What do you see, Ice?” Colt asked. “The bullet that shot Alec came through the car and it was a different gun. The hole is bigger. Almostlike they tried to kill Alec to take me easier. Alec and I could have easily handled three rogues. Almostlike this was a plan B. It wasn’t well thought out. They could have attacked me in the shop and gotten a better outcome.” Imade 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 easyshot. The drive by was to get him in place.” The whole thing made me sick 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 shot me when 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 name had me worried. “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 tearsthreatened to fall. My heart literally shattered as it sank in. “Kristen?” “Take me there.” 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 drive me or 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 holdmy 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 come in. Be careful.” “They are with me.” I said getting Alec and Colt to come in. As I walked up to the store, broken glasslittered the sidewalk. There was blood on the sideway. Standing on top of it. I calculated the angle ofthe 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. Floorhad holes, sterilization was in pieces. Ink splattered on the walls. My portfolio book was ripped tonovelbin
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 justfelt empty. This was my pride and joy. My baby. This was giving me my 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.
