They Are Here to Steal the Kids

Zev furrowed his brows, clearly displeased, but said nothing.

"We had a bit of an accident today," Kelly stepped in to answer on Zev's behalf. "We need to freshen up and change clothes. Then we'll go see Wade." Zev and Wade were both as stubborn as mules. They missed each other deeply, but neither was willing to be the first to give in.

"Okay," Ken nodded. "I'm glad you're fine."

He glanced at the time and added, "I'll head to the mansion and wait for you guys."

As he walked off, there was a visible sigh of relief in his demeanor.

Kelly watched Ken leave, then turned back to Zev. "Did you notice anything strange? I think Ken came today because he heard something about the accident."

"He just came to see if we were dead," Zev scoffed.

He had a deep-rooted distrust of Ken. No matter what Ken did, Zev always assumed the worst. "He's a master manipulator."

In Zev's eyes, Ken had always worn a mask-sweet-talking Wade into letting him stay with the Lockharts, right there at the heart of the family.

"He definitely knows something," Kelly said with certainty.

But whether Ken was a good guy or bad guy, Kelly couldn't quite figure out.

After showering and changing, Kelly dabbed Zev with holy water-a little superstitious ritual to drive off the bad luck.

"Sweetheart, that's pure superstition," Zev chuckled brightly, amused by how serious she looked.

"I don't care what it is-I'll try anything. You mean that much to me." Kelly met his eyes, speaking from the heart.

She wasn't usually someone who wore her emotions on her sleeve. Zev, on the other hand, was passionate. He always tried to lift the spirits of those around him- like a sun that radiated warmth.

Even though he was carrying wounds no one could see, he still insisted on being the light that lit up her mood.

Kelly knew that Zev was her one and only remedy for the depression she'd been fighting. With him she could heal. Slowly but surely.

And that's why she couldn't bear the thought of losing him.

"I'm not going anywhere." Zev suddenly pulled her into his arms, finally showing the fear that had gripped him since the accident.

When that car came barreling/toward Kelly, only one thought ran through his mind: she had to be okay. And he couldn't die either.
