With that confirmation, Keegan quickly unlocked the door, “I need to go help Mr. Jason.”

Estrella grabbed Keegan’s arm. Just as Keegan was about to protest, she handed tire iron from beside her seat. “Take this.” Ever since Jesse had been cornered by three years ago, they always kept some kind of weapon in their cars.

Seeing that Estrella was also preparing to exit the vehicle, Keegan held her back, “Ms Estrella, your leg’s still healing. I can handle this. Just keep the doors locked.”
