Chapter 80
“So, what was going on in there?” Jackson asks softly as we move through the quiet halls, glancing over his shoulder as we go.
“Don’t you know?” I ask, frowning up at him.
He just looks at me blankly, not answering.
“Well, then why did you interrupt?” I ask, confused. Because it’s one thing if Jackson interrupted because he knew that Alvez was going to be a creep, but quite another if he interrupted for…well, why else would he have interrupted?
“I don’t trust that guy,” Jackson sighs, the words slipping between clenched teeth. “Something’s…off about him.” He moves his eyes to me again, searching my face. “Was I wrong?” His words are tense.
I sigh, shaking my head. “No, you weren’t wrong, Jackson,” I say, looking forward as we climb into an elevator and Jackson presses the brass button, closing he doors. “I was…very uncomfortable in there.”

Jackson grunts in a self–satisfied way, pleased I think to have his instincts confirmed. “I
don’t like the way he looks at you,” he says, quite soft. “I knew it was going to be trouble when he gave me that note, asking you to come alone.”
“How did you know the note said to come alone?” I ask, looking up at him.
Jackson turns, instantly frowning down at me like the answer is obvious. “Because I read it.”
I burst out laughing, shaking my head at him. “Jackson, you can’t just read my mail.
“I was helping you!”
“That’s not an excuse!” but I’m smiling, and he smirks back at me, figuring out that I’m not actually mad. Because he really did help me – I’d have been in a very tricky situation, I think, had Jackson not come pounding on the door.
