Saving Jay

[Lawrence Monday]

Axel was full-on scary. The way he moved, like a lion stalking prey, and Lawrence’s nerves flushed to sheer thrill. It was the kind of electricity that carried her into battle reporting, but also the kind that drove poor Xander crazy with worry. Laurie learned enough over the years to walk out of the hottest places with her skin intact. One little school wouldn’t be any different. If anything, she had the advantage having been inside before.

A nod in agreement and she left with Axel to find Jay. They hurried toward the stairs, only to find a familiar face along the way.
