out there. We just do everything a bit differently.”
“Do you break the law?” Jay asked.
“No.”
“Can I join?”
“Do you have a billion dollar company I don’t know
about?” Richard asked.
“Nope.”
“Then no.”
“Wait, that you know about?” Jay asked.
“You ran a check on him, didn’t you?” she asked.
“I run checks on everyone. You know that.”
Richard stepped off the elevator first, and he held
her hand.
They made their way into the main clubhouse, and came
to a stop at the screaming they were greeted with.
Temperance paused, recognizing the fear and panic
attack. She used to get them growing up, and her brother talking to her used to
pull her out of them.
Taking in the room, she saw several large men were
surrounding a woman who was gripping her head, screaming as she stared at them.
Another man was kneeling beside her, trying to soothe her.
It was chaos everywhere.
Without even thinking, she grabbed the men and started
tugging them away. “Leave her alone, move out of the way.”
“Temperance?” Richard said, trying to stop her.
“No, Richard, let her do this. She knows what she is
doing.”
Grabbing the arm of the man who was kneeling, she
forced him to move, and then, rushed to grab something to use as a marker,
finding some lipstick.
The woman had started to go quiet.
“What is her name?” she asked.
“Mandy.”
Making sure there was enough space, Temperance marked
the space in a semi-circle for the woman.
The woman was still whimpering, and she had now
covered her face.
“It’s okay, Mandy. You’re in your safe place right
now. Look, no one will cross this line right here.” She pointed at the dark red
line that separated Mandy from them. “This is your space. No one will come near
you. Mandy, it’s okay. Mandy, you’re safe now.” She kept repeating those words,
keeping her voice steady. When someone behind her went to talk, she held her
hand up, keeping up her calmness, not showing any sign of faltering.
Time passed, Temperance didn’t know how much, but
Mandy stopped whimpering and her hands fell to her side.
The woman looked so pale, and so thin, so frail.
“Hello, Mandy, you’re safe here.”
“I’m safe here?”
“Yes, you’re safe here.”
“I don’t like being scared.”
“Me neither.”
“I don’t know you.”
Temperance nodded. “We don’t know each other. I’m
Temperance.” She held her hand out but also made sure that she didn’t cross
that line.
Mandy looked at her hand, and then at the carpet. “You
made a mess of the carpet.”
“You needed your own space, and ta-da, I did it.” She
did her best to comfort her. “When you’re ready to come out, you can.”
Temperance crawled away, keeping on level with the
other woman.
Mandy looked past Temperance’s shoulder. “I did it
again, didn’t I?”
“It’s okay.” A man who looked like he’d seen hell
knelt back down again. “You have nothing to be afraid of, Mandy. The guys here,
they all protect you.”
“I know. You helped get me out.”
Mandy got to her feet, and taking her time, Temperance
stood.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Temperance.” Mandy stepped
over the line and held her hand out. “I’m not usually so crazy.”
“No worries. I’m not usually so efficient with my
ideas.”
The young woman was clearly fragile, and Temperance’s
heart went out to her.
Chapter Six
Once Mandy had settled down, and Lewis had taken her
to go see her therapist once again, Richard sat with Jay by his side, and
Temperance sat opposite the two. The club brothers were leaving them alone, but
Richard saw that Tina didn’t look happy.
“Will Mandy be okay?” Temperance asked.
“She will be.”
“What’s wrong with her?” Jay asked.
“I can’t say. It’s for security reasons, and Mandy
needs to be protected now more than ever.”
“She looks like she’s seen death.”
He looked at Temperance. She did always seem to have
