“The girl across the street just got home,” Billy reported from his
position at the window. He was twitching the curtains like some
old grandma again. Nosy bastard. “She’s crying again.”
Rich cursed under his breath. The woman was killing him. He could hear
her sniffles when she opened her car door. Shifter hearing was sometimes a
curse.
Then, he heard the squeaky trunk opening, and he couldn’t help himself.
He had to go to the window to see what she was doing.
“She’s got a load of groceries,” Billy said unnecessarily.
“Damn. I don’t want her on the street when Bowza comes back. She’s had
run-ins with him before,” Rich mused. “I’ll go help her get that shit into the
house.”
Colt looked at him sharply, but Rich didn’t bother acknowledging his
brother’s concern. He’d already grabbed his leather jacket and was on his
way out the door.
He thought he did a good job of appearing to notice her and changing
direction to go help her with her groceries once he was outside. He didn’t
want to frighten her. Rich was trying his hardest to act like a good neighbor
who was just here to help. Non-threatening.
She still jumped when he walked up to her as she was staring at the pile of
bags in her trunk. Shit. She looked so defeated.
“Hi, neighbor,” he said quietly, trying not to alarm her any further. “We
just moved in across the street, and I noticed you might need some help.”
He looked up at the sky. “It’s going to rain soon. Can I help you get that
stuff inside before the heavens open up?” When she just looked at him, he
went on. “My name is Richard, by the way. Rich Kinkaid. Me and my
brothers are house-sitting Jim and Amy’s house across the way, while
they’re in Europe.
We used to work with Jim and know him really well.”
“Jim was in the Navy,” she said, somewhat disjointedly. Rich had to
wonder if she was on something, though he didn’t scent any bad chemicals
around her. Just a strong whiff of…despair. Well, grief could mess with a
person’s mind, he knew from personal experience. “Special Forces.”
He was surprised she knew that. Navy, sure. But most Special Operators
didn’t advertise the fact, even if they were semi-retired. If this woman
knew, there must be something special about her.
“Yes, ma’am. My brothers and I were on Jim’s Team for several years. We
only just retired and have been trying to figure out what to do next.” Now,
why had he told her that? It made them sound like college kids on a gap
year.
