I felt a surge of relief. She didn’t appear to have suffered any further harm overnight. Had Sager not interrupted us, I’d have made damn sure she didn’t go home that night to the bastard who’d done that to her. But it wasn’t my choice. The whole thing was so screwed up. Sager was pretty pissed at me. He thought I was stepping out on Mel with her best friend. I’d tried to explain the situation without giving anything away, but he wasn’t having any of it. What he couldn’t know was that April, not Mel, was the one who truly needed protecting. She was in real danger. As far as I could tell Mel didn’t even know her big secret, and that meant it was all up to me to do something about it. Raindrops pelted her relentlessly as she moved hurriedly down the sidewalk in my direction. She had the hood of her rain jacket pulled up over her head so I couldn’t see her face, but I’d remedy that in just a moment. The Mine bartender and I definitely had some unfinished business. She was going to look me in the eyes and tell me what the bloody hell had happened to her.
