them down the hall to the room where she knew the teacher was.
All the kids in the room were shifters of some sort , so they’d not be afraid to see them come in. She did worry about what would happen to them if any of them had to kill Ben, but she’d cross that bridge when she came to it. The back door to the room was opened by Jeremy again, and they each slipped inside.
Ben’s back was to the room as he stood there. He was at the door that led to the main hall, screaming at the person on the other side to get the fuck out of there. He was saying that he’d just leave when they moved. She knew when Quentin told him he wasn’t going anywhere that the negotiations were not going as well as they’d hoped. Especially when Ben threatened to kill a child a minute if he didn’t let him go. She told Jeremy to lead the kids out the back.
The last child was moving out the door when Ben turned. He had the gun pointed at her and Gilly before she could blink. And as soon as she saw the look on Ben’s face, she knew that he was going to kill himself. Fucking bastard wasn’t going to go that easily.
She leapt at him just as he put the gun under his chin. When Gilly growled, Jade knew that someone had opened the door, but it was too late to stop herself. She hit Ben just as the gun went off.

Quentin was so pissed, he was having a hard time not telling everyone to get the fuck away from him so that he could see to Jade. He wasn’t really sure what he was going to do to her, but he knew it wasn’t going to be to thank her. She’d nearly gotten herself killed. He glanced up at the officer that had told him she wasn’t hurt.
“They’re taking her to the clinic.” Quentin looked at the ambulance as it pulled away. “She’s gotten herself a good-sized knot on her head, and they want to make sure it’s nothing serious.”
“You told me she wasn’t hurt. You assured me that other than her clothes being muddied, she was just fine.” Quentin had to stop before the man pressed him into the wall behind him. “You lied to me.”
“No , sir, I didn’t lie. She got the knot on her head when she tripped over one of the other officers’ feet.” Quentin asked him who. “No, sir, I’m not going to tell you that either. You’d kill the man before he got a chance to tell you he was sorry. I know about mates, and all you see is red before you see reason. Jade is fine, but they wanted to be sure. She can be on the stubborn side when she’s got her panties in a twist over something.”
“And what does she have her panties in a twist over? It certainly can’t be because she went into a hostage situation without proper backup and nearly got herself killed. She can’t be upset because the man she attacked could have hurt one of the others in the room with them. There can be no way that she’s mad because she brought my daughter into this.” Quentin glared when the man snorted. “You think this is funny?”
“No, no I don’t , but as for her bringing your daughter in on this, I’m thinking you might want to talk to the captain. He seems to think your little girl and mate might have saved untold numbers of little girls being hurt by that teacher. In fact, that little kid of yours has all them others talking. Even the ones in the higher grades.” The young officer laughed. “That kid of yours…if I didn’t know any better, I’d say she was Jade’s kid the way she’s barking orders around and telling them kids to fess up.”
He watched the man walk away , still laughing. Blair was coming out of the room where his daughter was being questioned, and he nearly knocked someone down to get to him. They’d made him step out of the room earlier when he’d been upsetting the other children. Now that he thought about it, Quentin guessed that he had been. He’d been so scared that he’d been a little off his rocker.
“Angie is going to be out in a second, but you have to straighten up.” Quentin nearly
